CURRICULUM
The child is introduced to the Montessori curriculum through Practical Life activities involving materials centred on the use of everyday utensils such as scissors, tongs, and tweezers, as well as activities like cleaning, polishing, preparing snacks, laying the table, washing dishes, arranging flowers, gardening, and practising dressing skills including fastening and unfastening clothes. These activities together form the Practical Life curriculum.
The materials are beautiful, inviting, and purposeful. Each activity teaches only one skill at a time, allowing the child to work independently and master the intended concept, which is our primary objective. The materials are self-correcting, enabling the child to recognise errors, repeat the activity, and learn through self-discovery without intervention from the guide.
As children settle into the cycle of work, they engage in self-selected activities, while the guides gradually introduce Sensorial materials. Through this Active Learning approach, children learn by doing, exploring, and experiencing concepts firsthand. This approach takes learning beyond traditional academic subjects and prepares children for later schooling and future success in life. Such Active Learning in early education fosters confidence, independence, and positive developmental outcomes.
