About Paint Pots Montessori Schools
Georgina Hood founded Paint Pots Montessori Schools in 1988. With a history in Early Years Education spanning over three decades, one of Georgina’s main goals continues to be to lead by example and inspire teachers and paren
ts to listen to and follow the child. With this message Georgina delivers a strong powerful foundation to all within the community of Paint Pots Montessori Schools and Creative Classes. These gifts are “lessons in life” and are found the Montessori way of teaching. They enable the child to grow and develop at their own speed and time in a happy and carefully designed Montessori environment. These skills follow the children’s next steps into their school and will sub-consciously be a part of their everyday learning until they graduate and step out into the world to follow them in everyday life.
Georgina continues to teach each week, specialising in the youngest members of the Paint Pots community, working with mothers and babies of 6 – 12 months and 12 – 18 months. These unique classes use treasure baskets, heuristic play and music using guitar and voice. Alongside this Georgina offers Parenting classes which involve a series of talks and sessions which give parents the confidence and knowledge to help encourage and support their child in the important early years and in preparation for school. These classes also enhance their understanding, knowledge, well being and health.
In recent years, Georgina launched Heart Montessori, a bespoke International Educational Consultancy, developing a vision that supports new education initiatives. She is currently involved in Africa and China. In addition, Georgina is a traditonal Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master which flows into all areas of her practice. Under the expertise and guidance of Georgina, the teachers from the Montessori Schools have now started to introduce the Paint Pots Peace Curriculum to the children. On a daily basis the children have “Rest your mind “time before their day comes to a close. This helps the children connect with their mind, body and spirit and has proved to be huge success.
Paint Pots Montessori Nursery Schools and Creative Classes have been providing Montessori education and classes for children for 30 years. Our Montessori Schools offer a very unique experience to children. Through the Montessori materials and environment, the children develop their independence, concentration, confidence and creativity as well as their social, language and motor skills. We are passionate about the creative development of the children and they are offered a wide variety of opportunities to express themselves through art, drama, music and storytelling. Through observations and monitoring of their learning journey, each child’s individuality is celebrated with new activities that extend their learning. Paint Pots Montessori Nursery Schools are based in church halls at The Boltons, Bayswater and Hyde Park. For those families joining one of our three schools, we are delighted to be welcoming your child.
