Montessori based bi-lingual pre-school
There are many who hold, as I do that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to six. for that is the time when intelligence itself, our greatest implement, is being formed...not only intelligence, but the full totality of our psychic powers.

2 Voices & 2 Voices - Parkside has been established to meet the ever-growing needs of young children from families where two languages are spoken. We can also provide an opportunity for children to learn a second language at a receptive stage of development. In today's ever-expanding global society, language and communication are of the utmost importance.
PROGRAMME
Our aim is to provide a warm, nurturing and learning environment. This will allow children to fulfil their potential at their own pace. The non-competitive atmosphere will help prepare children to come to terms with their surroundings.
Knowledge of English is becoming increasingly important in our global society.
Later the language mechanisms loose the extraordinary absorptive and selective capacities. In order to produce good results, education should become scientitific and follow and utilise the special natural qualities that are present in developing minds.
STAFF
All teachers at 2Voices are qualified in various aspects of working with young children e.g. the Association Montessori International (AMI).
