About Montessori
Montessori movement takes its name from the founder, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) who established the first children’s home in Rome in 1907. Her work with children saw remarkable results. Today Montessori is single largest educational philosophy in the world in more than 100 countries in 6 continents. Teaching through play method is a major part of our program and our philosophy.
Our Main focus is on five key areas
Practical Life
We design unique practical life activities to support the child in developing the essential skills to successfully deal with day to day experiences. It allows children to engage into meaningful tasks.
Sensorial
Our sensorial exercises are devised to cover every quality that can be perceived by the senses such as size, shape, composition, texture, loudness or softness, matching, temperature etc. Sensorial activities allow the child to refine each of their senses like fine motor skills, visuals and auditory senses and develop hand to eye coordination and ability to order and classify.
Language
Language is used in the Montessori classroom in the broadest sense. It is the mode of communication or expression. Through language we will expose the child to correct articulation and enunciation. Children will be encouraged to link the sounds to letters and gradually progress towards reading and writing.
Numeracy
Math’s is all around the child from day one. We expose our children to real objects to expand their understanding of numbers. As children work with materials, they get a strong recognition of these numbers and their corresponding quantities.
Cultural & Social
Children’s personalities develop through their relationship with their environment. We give them experience of a community into which they can bring their own personality and in which they can create changes. The curriculum consists of the study of nature, science, art & music
