Children love the manipulative materials and explore many varied activities. These range from practical life and social-emotional skills to phonetic spelling and learning the decimal system. Only Full day program is available.
Our program provides your child with the foundation for a life of creative learning. Children develop and refine a sense of order by engaging in activities ranging from sorting to phonetic spelling to simple mathematical operations. The day begins with line time, an opportunity for children to sing together or do large muscle movement exercises. This also is a time for sharing news or watching presentations of new materials. After line time, children have “work time”, engaging in activities on their own or in small groups. A high-protein, low-sugar snack is available for all the children at this time.
After work time, the children have playtime and/ or relaxing time with yoga poses, reading books… Lunchtime is an activity which includes clean-up done by the children themselves as part of their “practical living” education.
After lunch, it’s time for a story and a nap for children ages 3-4. Children over three who no longer nap enjoy the story and 30 minutes of “quiet time” before joining the older children and continue their work from the morning. This “extended day” bring increased breadth and depth in the children’s exploration of the curriculum. This is the time of day reserved for advanced math, reading, geography, natural science and special projects, and introduces the use of more advanced materials as the year continues. Emphasis is also placed on the recording of learned information, so children spend lots of time writing and drawing. Children continue these works for the afternoon, stopping at 4:00 to get ready to go home.
The 3-6 curriculum is based on the universal observation of the Sensitive Stages and the child’s psychological characteristics, the program includes 4 main areas: Life Practice, Sensory, Language and Math. Just as important are Art, Music, Science, Geography, and Cultural Studies activities. Cultural absorption is the main driver of development in the first stage of development.
The practical life lessons are the transition from a home environment to a school living in a group and are real lessons that help babies become independent and take care of themselves, take care of others and take care of environment.
Practical life activities help children improve their motor skills, practice for accuracy, improve their concentration ability, build up and nurture their independent egos. After having the “I”, the new child is ready to join the “we” when he is older and more confident in his own ego.
The senses are tools to support the “incarnation” of the child’s mind through experiences with the environment. What is special about Montessori is that experiences through lessons that have been built into specific learning environments help babies to clearly grasp abstract concepts such as temperature, color, and color. size, taste, smell, pitch, weight …
Sensorial lessons always start with experience and then language because Maria Montessori understands children are “starving” for experiences in the environment to “incarnate” so their own ATTENTION.
Children can learn one or more languages in the same way when there is a specific environment that is the speaker of those languages.
Language begins with spoken language. Just study, work, and live in an environment where you already have a few thousand words when you name everything. Then comes written language. Maria Montessori argues that it is easier to write your own thoughts than others. Reading does not mean understanding what you have just read. Then comes reading comprehension, finally.
One of the things throughout Montessori’s curriculum is that children always learn through experience, learning with real tools to really understand knowledge. Only by understanding, can people remember what they have learned.
Speaking language is introduced specifically. Auditory lessons help children train headphones for sounds in languages. They are always respected, always listened to, and live in a diverse age-mix environment to help them absorb the language from around them, have active language use situations, and singing lessons. Reading poetry, telling stories, playing language games and language cards helps babies always want to communicate and use spoken language effectively.
Written language is indirectly prepared from the beginning of school through hands-on activities that help students learn to control fingers, hands, and wrists. Then comes the sensory lessons that help them control the hand to gently move instead of pressing hard to help them control the pen without tearing the paper. Then comes the rough paper script that helps them have mechanical memory that makes writing letters as easy and enjoyable as works of art. When they have spoken language, knowing all the sounds, they rhyme and write their thoughts in letters. When using letters to express their thoughts, they also know how to write.
Not only that, but students learn about vocabulary types and analyze sentences through games using only spoken language every day and gradually come to written language when ready.
Mathematical intelligence has been prepared from doing everything exactly step by step. Name exactly every object, concept, image, emotion … to always complete work to arrive at the final result right from the moment the baby is 2.5 years old. When learning the sensory lessons, babies are indirectly prepared for geometry, trigonometry, number sequence, decimal system … and then to distinguish similarities and differences.
Math is an international language and Maria Montessori has made mathematics and math concepts as interesting as games.
All abstract concepts are concretized through learning materials for children to practice and explore. All areas of mathematics such as geometry, algebra, and trigonometry are intelligently included in the 3-6 curriculum and help children learn math with interest.
The important task of children in the 3-6 stage is to build a character and be a part of the culture where they are born and raised. So the miniature world is included in the curriculum. They will explore the biological world, history, geography, science, and culture of the world to appreciate the world around them.
Teachers are based on the basic philosophy of Montessori spirit and is specially based on each child’s individuality and their intrinsic needs to prepare and support materials for the 3-6 years old art program, which is suitable for helping children nurture their artistic spirit.
