Our teachers are sensitive to children\u2019s individual needs, but they provide clear limits, and children are set free within these boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>At the Green Cave Montessori Pre-school, we aim to fulfil these learning principles whilst upholding our Green Cave core values of \u2018Love, Care and Nurture\u2019 which have formed the basis of our practice for the past 12 years.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4840_50_50-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4840_50_50-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4840_50_50-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4840_50_50-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4840_50_50.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the Montessori approach please follow these links:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Montessori_education\"><em>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Montessori_education<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amshq.org\/About-Montessori\/What-Is-Montessori\"><em>https:\/\/amshq.org\/About-Montessori\/What-Is-Montessori<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Just for fun\u2026What do all these famous people have in common?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Jeff Bezos \u2013 Amazon founder<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Taylor Swift \u2013 GRAMMY-winning Singer<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">HRH \u2013 Prince George of Cambridge<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Larry Page and Sergei Brin \u2013 Google founders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ann Frank \u2013 Diarist<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Alexander Graham Bell \u2013 Inventor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Woodrow Wilson \u2013 Former US President<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">David Blaine &#8211; Magician and illusionist<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Gabriel Garc\u00eda Marquez \u2013 Author and winner of Nobel Prize (Literature)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Jean Piaget \u2013 Psychologist<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Helen Hunt &#8211; Actor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thomas Edison \u2013 Inventor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">George Clooney &#8211; Actor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Bill Clinton \u2013 Former US President<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">HRH William \u2013 Prince of Wales<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Elon Musk \u2013 SpaceX and Tesla founder<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2026and many more!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Yes, you\u2019ve guessed it\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>They have all attended or supported Montessori!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-51\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.greencavenursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4791-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Green Cave Montessori Pre-school Welcome to the Green Cave\u2019s new Montessori pre-school, the ONLY Montessori provision in Tunbridge Wells.
