To facilitate the natural process of early learning, toddlers are eligible for enrollment at two years of age. They
attend three of five mornings a week when they start. By the age of three, they spend five full days. The director
builds trust with the toddler and provides individual attention and conversation. The Montessori environment is especially prepared with precisely manufactured materials to encourage exploration and interaction and lead the child from concrete to abstract learning. Our learning program for pre-school emphasizes on school readiness which include pre-reading skills; communication and socialization, physical and emotional development. Children work and play together in small groups in the various learning centers throughout the classroom. The child engages in a variety of education activities. These might include block play, house-keeping, dramatic play, reading, quiet play, and art. |

Children from ages 6-12 become conceptual explorers. They develop their powers of abstraction and imagination
and apply their knowledge to discover and expand their world further.
Children from 9-12 years need a learning environment where questions is encouraged and active research is
expected. At this stage, social skills are collaborative learning experiences and concern for justice in the world
around them can be developed.
The children are encouraged to pursue their interests and create their own work habits, which the teacher monitors
and facilitates in a dynamic way. Much can be learnt about each child through observation. We seek to ensure that
each child is given the opportunity to develop his or her full potential.
Lessons vary from individual, to small group, to those involving the whole class. Special emphasis is given to the performing and creative arts and environmental education.
Individual programs are suited to the needs of each child as they move from concrete experiences to abstract
concepts through the use of specially designed Montessori materials. The child-centered, adult-guided approach
encourages an atmosphere of enjoyable, purposeful work in the classroom.
The classrooms have a high level of social interaction and the children are free to direct their own learning with
the support of the director when required.
