micro- nursery
In our Fiveways home-from-home, Chrysalis welcomes a small, mixed-age group of children aged (rising) 3 to 5 years old each day. From here, our loving Montessori Guides offer personalised care in a calm, creative space optimised for young children.
From the free-flow garden and beautifully curated Montessori playroom, to our nourishing weekly menu, everything we do supports independence, joyful exploration and emotional regulation.
Our children move freely through a rich daily rhythm: baking, dancing, gardening, exploring the local area and enjoying celebrations with our parent community, and more.
