Bridging Foundations to Advanced Studies:
Your Child’s Kindergarten Journey.
At our Kindergarten level, children ages 6-7 transition into a period of advanced Montessori materials and captivating lessons, setting the stage for the apex of their Early Childhood program. Here, students not only witness the permanence of the knowledge they’ve acquired in the Pre-Primary and Primary program, but also actively engage in shaping their personal growth journey for the future.
The Kindergarten environment becomes a dynamic space where the seeds of independence, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership, sown in the preceding years, blossom into integral aspects of their character. It’s a phase where curiosity is encouraged to flourish, where the joy of exploration becomes a daily companion, and where the foundations laid during early childhood manifest into a strong sense of self-awareness and academic prowess.
This transitional phase is not just about academic progression; it’s a transformative period where the holistic development of each child is meticulously nurtured, ensuring they not only excel in knowledge but also thrive as socially adept, emotionally resilient, and physically active individuals. As the culmination of the Early Childhood program, Kindergarten becomes a pivotal bridge, guiding students towards a future filled with curiosity, innovation, and a deep-seated passion for lifelong learning.
Learning Through Independence and Collaboration
Kindergarteners showcase the independence, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership skills honed in their Early Childhood years. Our dedicated teachers, create personalized learning plans tailored to each child’s unique needs. These plans guide learning, introducing new lessons and challenges as appropriate, fostering independence and instilling a love for exploration.
Tailored Learning Excellence
At Children’s House, we employ a blended Montessori approach that capitalizes on the Early Childhood curriculum’s flexibility. Our teachers skillfully navigate students through personalized learning experiences, surpassing conventional concepts and prioritizing attributes such as patience, self-control, and tailored education that goes beyond one-size-fits-all models.
Holistic Growth and Development
In addition to fostering academic achievements, our Montessori approach extends its emphasis to encompass the holistic development of students, addressing their social, emotional, and physical well-being. Dr. Maria Montessori’s profound vision of guiding children along the “paths of joy and love” is not merely a sentiment but a lived reality within our classrooms. This commitment ensures that each child’s educational journey is not only comprehensive but also filled with joy, laying a strong foundation for a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
The Curriculum: A Multifaceted Learning Experience
In a Montessori setting, students engage in lessons and activities across various disciplines such as math, language, social studies, and science. What distinguishes the Montessori curriculum is its recognition that all knowledge is interconnected. For instance:
- The formation of the Earth and the Study of Planets.
- The study of Plants and Animals encompasses Botany and Zoology.
- The Arrival of Humans connects disciplines like Anthropology, Sociology, Architecture, Agriculture, History, and Government.
- Language studies include English Grammar, Writing, Reading, Spelling, Handwriting, Geography, and Literature.
- Math and Invention involve components of Mathematics and Geometry.
A Glimpse into the Key Areas Shaping Our Montessori Approach
Our integrated educational approach instills a sense of connectedness to the broader spectrum of human knowledge, fostering a natural inclination to contribute meaningfully to the world. Guided by the philosophy that knowledge is an intricate web, weaving through various disciplines, students seamlessly transition from interconnected lessons to focused skill development in specific domains. Below are examples of some of the targeted areas that contribute to this comprehensive Montessori approach.
- Practical Life: Children master daily-life skills, fostering independence, and refining motor coordination. These activities instill social skills, courtesy, and a sense of community responsibility.
- Sensorial: Through sensory exploration, children refine their perception skills, laying the foundation for mathematical and linguistic understanding.
- Math: Hands-on math activities guide children in understanding numerals, place-value, and mathematical operations. This exploratory approach ensures a deep comprehension of mathematical concepts.
- Language: Language activities cover vocabulary acquisition, writing, and reading skills. Hands-on materials facilitate learning letter sounds, word formation, sentence construction, and writing.
- Cultural Studies: Integrating history, geography, science, art, and music, this area promotes a holistic understanding of the world. Children learn about their state and community and develop an appreciation for diversity.
