The Dragonflies Room is designed for our older toddlers, providing a stimulating and supportive environment as they prepare for the transition into our preschool Bumblebee Classroom.

​

This bright, spacious room offers a wide range of carefully selected toys, resources, and activities that children are free to explore according to their interests. Alongside these, children are introduced to a selection of Montessori activities, helping to develop the skills and confidence they will build upon as they move into the Bumblebee Classroom.

​

As children grow, there is a greater focus on developing independence and self-confidence. They are encouraged to serve themselves at snack time, wash their own cups and plates afterwards, and practise dressing themselves ready for outdoor play. These everyday experiences help children develop valuable life skills, and they take great pride in achieving new levels of independence.

​

The Dragonflies Room has its own toilet facilities and dedicated changing area. Children who need to rest during the day have access to comfortable, specially prepared sleep beds within the room, ensuring their individual routines are supported.

​

The room also benefits from its own enclosed patio area, allowing children to move freely between the indoor and outdoor environments while learning to respect boundaries and care for their surroundings. Adjoining the classroom is a nursery kitchen, where staff prepare snacks and involve the children in simple cooking activities and playdough making, encouraging creativity and practical learning.
