Clapham Park Montessori
ABOUT US
Clapham Park Montessori occupies the upstairs rooms at the Contact Centre, just off Abbeville Road, above our Montessori Infant Community. Our bright, cosy and self-contained space is ideal for a Children’s House, and our experienced team shares a love of working with children and a commitment to offering authentic Montessori education.
We have access to an outdoor area as well as to the large hall downstairs at certain times of the day, both of which offer wonderful opportunities for exploration, physical activity and play.
Joining Us
Children are welcome to start at Clapham Park Montessori from the age of 2½. The Montessori curriculum supports their development until they leave to join their Reception or Year 1 classes, or up to the age of 6.
