For children ages 3 to 6 years
children's house.
accelerating your child’s love of learning
A Nest Children’s House classroom is a carefully-prepared, child-sized classroom in which your child can direct her own activity, building confidence and social skills while maximising her own capability to learn and love learning. The Children’s House includes five different classroom areas, each one with enticing and sequenced materials that each child will be introduced to over multiple years, in response to individual developmental timelines.
Our Children House programme empowers children to take increasing ownership over their learning journey while building the foundational knowledge, skills, and attitudes they’ll need to flourish in elementary and beyond.

children's house programme:
Building independence through practical life.
These lessons engage your child with real-world, purposeful tasks and tools, helping him see himself as capable and competent. The benefits are immediate, including concentration and precision of movement, and support long-term life skills like planning, memory, and problem-solving.
Individualised guidance with writing and reading.
Children are so excited to start reading and writing, using the hands-on Montessori materials such as sandpaper letters and movable alphabet. Your child is able to explore creative expression and dive into reading, as he is empowered to write and read with ease through these foundational works.
Concrete materials for lifelong retention of math.
We believe in providing your child with an education that fosters deep understanding rather than quick memorisation. The Montessori approach to math is particularly effective in this regard. By using hands-on materials, we engage your child in concrete problem solving, which paves the way for a seamless transition to more abstract concepts in math.
Understanding our world through exposure and experimentation.
Experimentation with physical sciences inspires a lifelong curiosity for the world around us. Our programme includes puzzle maps, flags, and cultural items to expose your child to varied cultures within our world, providing a helpful framework for later studies in science and history.
Developing the scientific mind through sensorial materials.
Your child will enjoy the beautiful sensorial materials and learn to compare and contrast, to discern slight differences, to place things in order, and so on. The materials activate the senses and help your child explore the world around her. The sensorial materials also highlight mathematical relationships, providing the foundation for understanding arithmetic, geometry and algebra.

at nest preschool, we believe every child is tremendously capable.
But what’s even better, the children believe it too.
Every child at Nest Preschool knows they can accomplish real things and engage in real learning. Not because someone tells them so, but because they choose it, experience it, and succeed at it every single day.
