Who we are..

Esra Taylor ( Essie to everyone who knows me !)

I am the founder and creator of The Montessori Play Space. I aim to create innovative, calm, engaging and interesting craft and art sessions that hold Montessori education and Montessori teaching at the foundation.

I qualified as a Montessori Teacher 12 years ago in London and since then I have worked in some truly inspirational Montessori Schools. Once my daughter started school I knew it was the perfect time to create The Montessori Play Space.

What started off as Montessori parent and child play sessions quickly developed into creativity classes such as my weekly creative session for pre school aged children - Crafty Arty Club.

All my sessions are based around supporting your child's self expression, independence and respecting their individuality.  I do this by offering choices, respecting your child's voice and communication style, providing freedom from interruption and supporting movement and fine motor skills refinement through thoughtfully prepared activities. Each session usually has a sensory element such a play dough to keep those busy little hands engaged throughout any of my sessions.
