About Us
Welcome to Little Classroom
We are delighted you are considering our programme, which offers a real-life play and learning experience. We aim to provide your child with a solid foundation for their educational journey. Our programme is tailored to meet your child's needs by following the children's passions and interests and through our unique "Let's Learn, Let's Play, and Let's Grow" Montessori approach. Our goal is to nurture happy, confident young learners who thrive.
​
We offer preschool readiness classes for 3 and 4-year-olds. Unlike nurseries or childminders, our classes provide parents with an alternative educational option. Your child will receive focused educational sessions rather than just childcare. These classes are taught in small groups of six during the daytime, providing tailored intervention and attention to give your child the best possible start on their educational path.
We also provide after-school primary classes for children aged 4-9. These classes follow the same "let's learn, let's play, let's grow" approach and include 1-to-1 Reading, Phonics, Writing, and Maths. Children will experience our provision-based learning both indoors and outdoors, receiving individual attention to help build confidence in learning.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Rodley, close to Farsley, Calverley, Apperley Bridge and Horsforth, our facility at Rodley Fold Farm offers a tranquil setting for your child to thrive. Little Classroom has been created on the grounds of our wonderful home, providing the most natural, calming and safe environment for your child.
At Little Classroom, we prioritise the safety and care of your little learner. As an experienced teacher and primary school leader with 15 years of experience, I am committed to providing the best education in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculum. Our educational institution is a member of The Tutor Association and meets all recommendations, including enhanced DBS checks, paediatric first aid, safeguarding and relevant insurance. Our purposefully designed single-space classroom has a kitchen, a toilet, and direct access to our private garden and allotment.
