Dr. Maria Montessori
The Montessori system is a well-researched and child-centered education reform that involves activity-based classrooms and identifies the natural interests of children.
Our classroom includes the development of five skills—Practical, Sensorial, Numeracy, Language and Social.
· Practical—includes development of fine visual and motor skills. Children learn to be courteous and care for themselves and their environment. Learning art is also included for the holistic development of children.
· Sensorial—enhances all five senses in children.
· Numeracy—enables children to understand numbers, count, add, subtract, and solve basic number problems.
· Language—allows children to communicate. Children learn to read, write, listen, and speak.
· Social—helps children learn about their surroundings and interact with others. They also learn about different species on Earth. Social skills are taught utilizing the “Skill Streaming” program.
Play time is also important for the physical and social growth of children. Our school has a fenced yard for children to play in. We take children outside into the yard for playtime and outdoor activities. We also have arrangements to have playtime inside incase of bad weather.
According to Dr. Montessori, a classroom with mixed-age children enhances the child’s learning experiences. She believes in giving children an environment where they can work together. In our classroom, we will have mixed-age children and they will learn from each other.
We have a curriculum unique for each child’s needs, including children with different abilities. We value diversity and guide the development of positive principles such as honesty, respect, diligence, harmony, and peacefulness. We recognize the family as the child’s primary teacher and would like to collaborate with them.
Our students will learn about diverse cultures through pictures, songs, poems, stories, books, globes, maps, and other learning material. Children will learn about different cultural celebrations and communities. Respect and appreciation are our guiding principles.
