LANGUAGE

We encourage one on one conversation between the children, and also hold a number of group conversations throughout the day. We also read books during circle time and have books available for children to read alone or together during their independent work time. Even our youngest students engage in writing activities. They start by creating their own writing, then progress to writing initial sounds and letters they are familiar with, and they eventually move on to spelling words phonetically.

MATH

Through hands-on exploration of traditional Montessori Math materials, children acquire a tangible comprehension of mathematical concepts such as recognizing numbers, performing addition and subtraction, and eventually mastering multiplication and division.

SENSORIAL

The sensorial materials offered in our curriculum allow children to explore and comprehend their physical surroundings through sensory experiences. These tangible materials effectively convey attributes like color, shape, texture, and weight. By engaging with these materials, children develop an understanding of concepts such as matching, sequencing, and categorization, forming the foundation of their future cognitive development.

PRACTICAL LIFE

Practical Life materials are structured activities related to developing a sense of independence through caring for oneself (dressing, combing, etc.) and one’s environment (cleaning, washing, gardening, etc.). Control of movement (pouring, chopping, sweeping, etc.) and courtesy (greeting, helping, thanking, etc.) are also developed through these activities.

Students engage in a variety of structured tasks designed to foster independence, both in self-care activities like taking their own shoes and jackets on and off for school, and in taking care of their surroundings via activities such as cleaning, washing, and gardening. Through engaging in these activities, children also develop control of their movements like perfecting pouring, chopping, and sweeping, and learn important social skills like courtesy, greeting, helping, and expressing gratitude.

CULTURAL SUBJECTS

We take part in activities that are meant to foster cultural awareness and expand children's grasp of their world. Through our engagement with art, music, maps, magnets, electricity, anatomy and chemistry, we explore concepts related to nature, science, food, geography, and social studies. Additionally, we take regular walks through the neighborhood which provide hands-on experiences that further enrich their understanding of their surroundings. We strive to create an environment where children can develop a global perspective and a deep appreciation for the diverse cultures and wonders of our world and our own communities.
