Play is the Work of the Child
Maria Montessori recognised that young children need a sense of order and regularity in their lives. At Colourbox we provide a calm and consistent atmosphere where your child can create, play, make friends and develop as an individual as well as part of a group. Our Montessori guides use thoughtful language to encourage your child to grow in confidence and to become a competent learner.
