Montessori Children’s House
In the Montessori learning environment, a child is fully immersed in a calm and orderly atmosphere that is designed to cater to their unique interests and needs. The Montessori Centre offers a comprehensive educational experience that comprises five distinct curriculum areas. Practical Life activities provide children with purposeful tasks that mirror their daily activities and are divided into four categories: Care of the Self, Care of the Environment, Grace and Courtesy, and Control of Movement. Sensorial activities help children to refine their five senses – tactile, visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory – which encourages heightened sensory awareness. The Language materials are carefully designed to allow children to explore letters, sounds, handwriting, and eventually reading and writing with ease. The Maths curriculum follows a gradual introduction of concrete materials and provides incremental opportunities for working with increasingly abstract concepts.
