Dedicated Teachers ~
Modern Montessori Pre-Schools are governed by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Community Development Youth and Sports. All of our lead teachers are trained in either the PQAC accredited Certificate in Pre School – Teaching, Diploma in Pre School- Teaching or Diploma In Montessori Method of Education. All our centre supervisors possess the Diploma in Pre School Teaching – Leadership. All teaching staff are required to go through a “Montessori Teacher Training” workshop conducted by our Montessori lecturers upon joining us. We also provide periodic professional development workshops conducted by specialists from the early childhood industry to equip our teachers with a range of new skills to handle the young leaders in our school. Curriculum Research & Design Department ~
Providing children with a holistic and up-to-date curriculum is essential. As such, Modern Montessori Pre-School has assembled a team of early childhood experts who are highly trained and armed with many years of experience working with children to develop its curriculum. Representatives from this department will attend the annual Montessori World Conference in Europe to keep concurrent with the latest findings, research and developments by early childhood professionals from all over the world. This department is headed by Modern Montessori International Academic Director Mr. Bob Durgude, who has 20 over years of field experience and he holds a Master of Science in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. Unique MMI Program ~
As an ever-evolving Montessori institution that continually re-invents itself to keep up with contemporary times and standards, Modern Montessori Pre-School has developed and implemented many in-house programs – the most significant of which is Passport to the World, with a goal to transform children into “Citizens of the World”. In this termly program, a new country will be introduced to children – along with its history, cultures, languages, landscapes, seasons, flora and fauna, etc. Children will each be given an MMI Passport, which will be stamped by the teacher with an arrival chop at the start of the term and then with a departure chop at the end of the term. Other MMI in-house programs include News Hour, Traveller’s Palm and Speech & Drama sessions. Parental Involvement ~
Children are the pride and joy of all parents. It is Modern Montessori Pre-School’s primary aim to involve parents in the magical learning journey of their children as they play a pivotal role in children’s development. Effective communication with parents is of utmost importance to MMI, which strives to keep them updated and involved through parent-teacher meetings, children’s portfolio, monthly and termly newsletters, communication books, progress charts and festive celebrations in the school.
