Open to all Harlequin children and parents who will attend either Billericay or Stock setting in the future and also children who will attend other pre-school settings. Everyone welcome!

Based at our Stock setting, this parent and baby/toddler groups allow us to gradually introduce you and your child to Montessori philosophy.  In a relaxed and calm environment,  your child can experience freedom to explore our treasure baskets, heuristic play and early Montessori activities.  Specialist teachers ensure that relevant materials are introduced as your child develops.  We therefore offer the following groups:

Small Wonders    9.25am-10.25am (6 months-18 months)

10.30am-11.30am (18months-2 years+)

Little Explorers     10.30am-11.30am (with parents)

11.30am-1.30pm (without parents)

Little Explorers provides an opportunity for those children who attend with their parents for the first hour, to have a 2 hour playtime without them.  We have introduced this group as we feel it helps the ‘transition’ period where a child attends nursery for the first time.  The whole family has had time to build a relationship with the teachers and become more familiar with the Montessori philosophy.
