Our Holistic Approach to Education
“In our plan for the education of little children we must create an attractive environment. Into this environment we must put everything that is good for the mind, along with an understanding and affectionate person.” – Dr MARIA MONTESSORI
What is Our Difference?
At Blooming Tulips, we have a holistic approach to learning and development. We believe that every child is unique and has the potential to achieve greatness in their own way. Our nurturing and compassionate environment encourages children to develop at their own pace, supported by dedicated and friendly educators who strive to inspire and motivate every child to learn, develop, and set foundations to reach their full potential.
We support authentic child-centred learning, providing children with an inspiring and supportive environment to unlock their potential. Emphasising hands-on and collaborative learning, our children develop independence, creativity, and critical thinking skills that lay a foundation for lifelong success.
“The real purpose of education is to prepare the orientation for future generations, who will progress to a new plane.” – Dr MARIA MONTESSORI
Well-Rounded Child
Nurturing a well-rounded child involves instilling a sense of responsibility and self-discipline. Education of a well-rounded child promotes aspects of life that hold far greater significance than just grades.
A balanced lifestyle encompassing intellectual, emotional and physical health is crucial for the optimal growth of a well-rounded child. As strong communicators and listeners, well-rounded children display traits of empathy, open-mindedness, curiosity, and self-discipline, which can be used as effective support systems, especially when coping with workloads and adapting to new situations.
Children with well-rounded personalities possess significant altruistic traits such as discipline and responsibility. The education of such children necessitates the cultivation of values beyond grades.
A holistic lifestyle that incorporates a diverse range of activities helps in developing the emotional, physical and intellectual well-being of well-rounded children. Empathy, open-mindedness, curiosity and discipline are the hallmarks displayed by well-rounded children who communicate effectively.
When adjusting to new circumstances and dealing with stress, these qualities prove especially impactful.
Every Child is Unique
We believe that every child is unique, and our teaching approach reflects that. Our emphasis on individualised learning means that your child will receive the education they need at their own pace and in a style tailored to their specific needs. We listen and we understand, which allows us to create a truly responsive learning experience that nurtures your child’s growth and development. Our aim is to nurture your child through every stage of their early years journey.
It is our passion to grow and develop unique children into confident and capable learners who will make a positive impact on the world.
Purposeful Play
We believe in instilling a genuine love of learning in every child. At the core of our approach is purposeful play, which is an incredibly effective way to learn. Our teaching style, which is both natural and engaging, instils confidence and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
We blended the (EYFS) statutory framework for the early years foundation with our Montessori programme. Your children will thrive in nurturing environment that spark their imagination and prompt them to explore, deepening their knowledge of the world surrounding them. Our educators are passionate about cultivating love for learning that lies at the core of our philosophy.
“Every little mind is unique and develops at their own pace – it’s essential to understand that not all will learn the same concepts together. Education must meet each child where they are. Montessori education encourages children to take on new and ever-challenging concepts that they have mastered – it allows them to build their foundation of knowledge. By not forcing those who may need more time or focusing solely on speed learners, each child can develop at a rate suitable for them. Furthermore, when the basics have been established, there is no point in dwelling on laborious repetition – which can lead to boredom and disengagement from a subject matter, therefore allowing motivation within children to be empowered.”
Scientifically Designed Curriculum
Our staff skilfully execute our scientifically designed curriculum while keeping in mind each child’s abilities and interests. Children are encouraged to explore their interests and take their first steps towards independence.
Equipping children with the right tools to life
Choosing the right care and educational approach to secure their early education, social and emotional development, and overall well-being is critical. Montessori nurseries have a proven record of successfully nurturing lifelong skills, such as promoting a growth mindset and building a healthy relationship with failure. Choosing the Montessori path for your child can equip them invaluable life skills.
