Toddler Program
18 months through to 30 months
In this wonderful age of discovery, our first priority is to provide a nurturing and safe environment, while introducing children to a more structured environment. Our toddlers are offered a variety of opportunities to explore their world through Montessori and play.
a variety of manipulative materials such as blocks, puzzles, play-dough, crayons and paints.
communication skills to express their needs wants and feelings in appropriate ways.
toddlers are also encouraged to develop critical thinking skills for solving, understanding and applying the new concepts that are learnt.
An introduction to Math concepts (big vs. small) and language skills through sound, finger play, repetition, story/book time and music are explored.
Preschool Program
30 months through to 6 years
Our ultimate goal is to build a solid academic foundation through play and to instill in each child a love for learning. Although it may seem like fun and games to preschoolers, the curriculum we follow is packed with educational elements.
There are seven learning styles that we focus on:
visual (spatial): using pictures, images, and spatial understanding,
aural (auditory-musical): using sound and music, verbal
(linguistic): using words, both in speech and writing,
physical (kinesthetic): using your body, hands and sense of touch,
logical (mathematical): using logic, reasoning and systems,
social (interpersonal): learning in groups or with other people,
solitary (intrapersonal): prefer to work alone and use self-study.
Physical fitness is imperative for educational success. Outdoor playtime, complete with balls and other outdoor equipment is allotted in the children’s daily schedule in order for them to benefit from the fresh air and exercise that outdoor play provides.
