Sessions are packed with fun and messy indoor and outdoor activities which develop preschool skills in the beautiful environment of Jupiter Artland. With leaders qualified in Montessori and inspired by Forest School methods, Littlesparks sessions place the child at the centre of their learning, inspired by both these approaches.
