Classroom Focus

Practical Life

Montessori places significant emphasis on practical life skills, such as pouring, buttoning, tying shoelaces, and other activities that promote independence and self-sufficiency. These skills lay the foundation for more complex learning and help children develop concentration, coordination, and fine motor skills.

Sensorial Development

Montessori education recognizes the importance of sensory exploration in early childhood development. Sensorial materials and activities focus on refining the senses, including visual discrimination, auditory perception, tactile experiences, and olfactory and gustatory senses.

Language and Literacy

Montessori classrooms provide a language-rich environment that encourages language acquisition and literacy development. Activities include spoken language exercises, vocabulary building, phonics, reading, and writing.

Mathematics learning materials for the Montessori classroom

Mathematics

Montessori mathematics materials are designed to introduce mathematical concepts in a concrete and tangible way. Children progress from hands-on activities using manipulatives to abstract mathematical operations and problem-solving.

Cultural Studies

The Montessori curriculum embraces cultural studies.

Botany
The young child is introduced to the parts and functions of the plant. Each month a particular part of the pant is studied.

Zoology
Offers significant classes of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The child studies external and internal parts of their functions monthly.

History
The child learns the passage of time. The class understands this personally in terms of the number of years the child has been alive. Our birthday celebration consists of a ceremony in which the child holds the earth-globe and circles around the symbol of the sun. The teacher also introduces the clock, which introduces hours and minutes.

Geography
The child learns the mapping of the earth and makes the simple distinction between land and water. Children explore different continents and cultures, learn about the world, and develop an appreciation for diversity.
