About Us
At Follow Me Montessori in Gillitts, you will not find the bright primary
colours and alphabet posters of a more traditional classroom. Instead, the airy
room is lined with shelves, all at child-height, with their enticing Montessori
equipment set out for children to make their choices. Cages and bowls hold the
class pets. Framed prints of famous artworks decorate the walls. In the kitchen
area, a child-size counter holds glasses and jugs for practising pouring and
mixing. A separate library, furnished with comfortable miniature armchairs,
provides a quiet space for reading and learning. Outdoors, a bike track circles
a herb garden, while the adventure path leads to a miniature jungle.
