My name is Mercedes Slawter and I would like to extend a warm welcome from the MIS Early Years team to all prospective parents and their children.

Here at MIS, our Early Years team do everything they can to make sure children feel safe and happy within a warm and nurturing environment.

 All our teachers have many years of experience working with young children and are passionate in delivering lessons and activities that allow each child to reach their full potential.

At MIS we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, although we also incorporate various Montessori methods and activities into our lessons as they are proven to lead to improved child growth and development.

Early Years education is much more than just preparation for primary school, it forms an essential part in each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. Furthermore, our team is able to get to know all our young students individually as they progress through Early Years and work hard to help them overcome the challenges they face as they familiarize themselves with the real world outside the family home. I am sure I speak for the whole Early Years Team that teaching these young children is such a rewarding experience and it’s great to see their personalities develop and to have a positive impact on their young lives. Happy children and happy teachers – what could be better!

Thank you for visiting our website and I look forward to welcoming you and your family to Early Years at MIS.

Ms Mercedes Head of Early Years
