The Lantern Lab
36 months – 6 years
In our senior room, creative play meets emerging independence. Children work with hands-on Montessori materials across practical life, sensorial, language, numeracy and culture.

What learning looks like
Inside The Lantern Lab
- Uninterrupted Montessori work cycles that build deep concentration
- Language and early literacy through sandpaper letters and moveable alphabet
- Numeracy with concrete materials before abstract symbols
- School-readiness through independence, resilience and self-management
