Montessori St Nicholas is running outdoor games at the Festival of Play – Maria Montessori was a pioneering influencer who identified early on that children can learn by doing.

Montessori St Nicholas believes that should change, with children encouraged to learn by engaging with nature – and about where food comes from.
