WELCOME
to Grow + Play baby and toddler groups.
“Play is the work of the child”
– Maria Montessori
ABOUT GROW + PLAY
Grow + Play classes are Montessori inspired, child-led sessions for babies, toddlers + preschoolers.
Our sessions are carefully planned by a qualified primary school teacher, to create a calm and engaging environment which supports your child's unique developmental journey.
We aim to create a warm and friendly space for children and their parents/caregivers. All sessions include a healthy snack for children and free tea/coffee for the grown ups!
We'd love to have you join us at one of our classes in Low Fell, Gosforth and Cullercoats.
OUR MISSION
At Grow + Play our goal is to create unique baby and toddler groups with:
Calm and Peaceful Environments
Grow + Play sessions are held in a spacious setting, with limited numbers at each session. This ensures the children have the space and time to explore the activities available.
We have a gentle routine in place which provides structure for the children and enables them to transition peacefully through the session.
Please note as spaces are limited at each Grow + Play session, booking in advance is essential.
Carefully Prepared Environments
Each Grow + Play session provides activities carefully prepared by a qualified primary school teacher and Montessori student.
Our activities are designed to support children’s all-round
development.
You can read more about the key areas covered in our sessions here.
Positive Purposeful Play
At Grow + Play, we create sessions which are fun and engaging for children and their parents/carers.
Our aim is to create the right environment for children to do what they do naturally: investigate, experiment, and learn through play.

ABOUT MONTESSORI
"What the hand does, the mind remembers"
Dr. Maria Montessori
The Montessori Method refers to the educational approach and philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
The Montessori approach has respect for children and their unique developmental journey at its heart.
Dr. Montessori believed that babies and young children have an innate drive to learn and are uniquely able to absorb information from their environment.
The Montessori approach focuses on providing children freedom to choose their activity in a carefully prepared environment, and supporting the child's need for independence.
