Chrysalis Montessori endeavours to gather parents and carers that would like to discover the Montessori principles in a community.

Regular playgroup sessions are run in a private location in Crouch End. They have a limited number of spaces in order to create a cozy atmosphere where both children and adults can have quality interactions with each other. These are not designed as what we have come to know as ‘baby classes’. 

Chrysalis Montessori is dedicated to freedom of choice from the beginning of life, so, in the sessions, careful observation will be made of the children and the environment will be prepared for the children’s current interest. It is therefore important to know that a one- off class is probably insufficient in order to see the unfolding of a particular learning journey. 

The environment is prepared using high quality natural materials, some of which are designed by Montessori herself, some, using inspiration from the Montessori method. 

Your understanding of the Montessori philosophy might vary, and some parents have read and learned more about it. We shall be kind to one another and commit to supporting each other. 

This website is also set as a free resource for parents that would like to deepen their understanding of early childhood and Montessori( and more)in what I hope to be a clear and uncomplicated manner.
