We use Montessori way of learning for reading, writing, mathematics, sciences, social studies and creative arts while integrating these basic concepts with practical life. Children are encouraged to implement HighScope, “Plan-Do-Review” process while working in the Montessori reading, writing, mathematics, sciences, social studies and creative arts stations.
PRACTICAL LIFE
The Montessori practical life exercise help prepare a child for writing and reading skills by developing and encouraging the following:
- Concentration
- Independence
- Hand and Eye Coordination
- Small Motor Skills
Examples of practical life exercises are: dressing frames, polishing shoes, washing hands, pouring water/rice, sweeping, dusting, folding, plant care, room care, food prep, scrubbing, peeling, washing, drying, cutting and pasting.
SENSORIAL
Sensorial exercises help children further their development in these areas: matching, sorting, grading, classifying, sequencing and creating order. Sensory base lessons are the foundation for later works in language and mathematics.
