ABOUT US
History and Founder
Our Culture
There is nothing quite like the authentic Montessori Method for early childhood education. This unique approach enables children to discover their true potential and develop an organized, engaged, and focused mind. The Montessori experience prepares them to be curious, lifelong learners, as well as good citizens, future innovators, and able leaders.
Practical Life activities help children learn how to care for themselves and their environment. These activities help children to become more independent, leading to greater self-confidence, and the ability to face new challenges. Practical Life exercises include lessons in grace and courtesy, care for self, and care for the environment.
Mathematical concepts are introduced to the child using concrete sensorial materials. Initial explorations with sensorial materials encourage children to understand basic math’s concepts such as learning number recognition, counting, one-to-one correspondence and sequencing of numbers.
Sensorial materials were designed by Doctor Maria Montessori to help children express and classify their sensory experiences. The purpose of sensorial activities is to aid in the development of the intellectual senses of the child, which develops the ability to observe and compare with precision. Activities often include matching and grading materials that isolate the sense of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.
Language materials are designed primarily to enhance vocabulary and explore both written and spoken language. Through language-based activities, such as the sandpaper letters and the moveable alphabet, children learn phonetic sounds and how to compose words phonetically. They progress using phonetic sounds and learn to communicate their unique thoughts and feelings.
Cultural activities lead the child to experience music, stories, artwork and items from the child’s community, society and cultural background.. The culture area encourages children to develop their capacity for creation, and develop fine motor skills. Whilst learning to freely express themselves. Through cultural activities, children develop an awareness and appreciation of the world around them.
