Bilingual programme. Lessons in English and Mandarin with native speakers.
Enrichment programme. Intensive Chinese Immersion Programme (ICIP) and Kidz Fun Discovery Programme (KFDP).
A gentle first step into learning through the five senses. Toddlers explore early phonics, numeracy and practical-life activities such as pouring, scooping and threading, alongside music, art, outdoor play and daily Mandarin with native-speaking teachers.
About Pre-Nursery & PlaygroupAs curiosity about the world grows, hands-on materials such as sandpaper letters and number rods build early phonics, pre-writing and number skills, while cultural themes, festival weeks, daily movement and Mandarin widen each child’s experiences.
About Nursery 1Building on Nursery 1, children begin word-building with the Moveable Alphabet, add and subtract with concrete materials, and grow in confidence through Brighton Talk and Show and Tell, alongside cultural studies, the arts and daily Mandarin.
About Nursery 2Children grow into more independent learners, blending sounds to read and write in English and Mandarin, and exploring place value with the Golden Beads and Strip Board. Geography and simple science experiments broaden their view of the world.
About Kindergarten 1Also known as the P1 preparatory class, Kindergarten 2 prepares children for formal schooling the following year. Comprehension and creative writing, problem-solving with money, time and measurement, and Hanyu Pinyin in Mandarin build on the hands-on Montessori approach.

The Brighton Montessori way
Montessori In Practice
Montessori is not simply a collection of classroom materials. It is an approach to how children interact with their environment, make choices, practise skills and gradually build independence.
How it works
A place prepared for them
Child-sized, ordered environments help children take part more independently, with freedom within clear limits.
Learning through their hands
Purposeful materials make ideas tangible, from concrete towards abstract.
Time to practise
Children return to meaningful activities, building skill and confidence at a pace that suits them.
A guide alongside them
Educators observe, offer guidance and introduce appropriate next steps.
Five areas of learning
What does Montessori learning look like?
Practical Life
Everyday activities like pouring water from a jug, spooning pasta or buttoning are introduced to your child, developing his / her gross and fine motor skills, confidence, focus and self-control as well as key social skills.
