Montessori Classroom
We provide a secure, safe, stimulating environment both indoors and outdoors that fosters all aspect of their social, physical, cognitive, emotional and aesthetic development at a pace that is developmentally appropriate.
Children engage in different areas of the Montessori program – Practical life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, Creative Arts, Musical Movement, Science, Geography and Cultural Studies.
Emphasis is on the literacy skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing through stories; rhymes, chants and songs; discussions and contributions during group times; expressing self through drawing and art; group and individual reading using phonetics and high-frequency words; writing letters of the alphabet, words and sentences. Children are encouraged to perform set tasks in developing their written skills. These activities are individualized at the child’s level of ‘readiness’.
We provide a prepared environment with Montessori designed didactic materials which help children develop concentration and self-discipline. Children work at their own pace with guidance and support from staff. The children’s innate passion for learning is also encouraged by giving them opportunities to engage in spontaneous as well as purposeful activities.
