The Montessori Method
The Montessori Method is a child-centred educational approach created by Italian physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori. It relies on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and mixed-age classrooms. Children are viewed as natural learners who thrive when given the freedom to explore a specially prepared environment at their own pace.
Early Years Foundation Stage
We integrate early learning goals into our Montessori curriculum:
- Communication and Language

Our Learning System
My Montessori Child
Created by David Gettman, author of Basic Montessori.
We use My Montessori Child to record children's behaviour and share regular updates with parents, helping us work together to support each child's development.
At Sunshine, we use the world's most advanced early-education system, specially designed for the world's most popular early-education method: My Montessori Child. It records teachers' routine observations and intelligently turns them into learning insights, next-step ideas, teaching plans, parent collaboration tools, and statutory reporting. The system was devised by David Gettman, the author of Basic Montessori, the bestselling Montessori reference work. My Montessori Child combines David's educational expertise with his many years advising on innovation at McKinsey & Company. He previously founded Online Originals, the pioneering e-book publisher.
