We provide calm, nurturing safe environment where the infant can explore, see, touch and hear and develop trust. We focus on language development, movement and order, so that the child’s first steps of independence can be fruitful. Our Montessori Toddler Program
We created a beautiful learning environment that supports the growth and development of the child. Our Practical Life activities teach independence, respect for one self, concentration as well as the physical and social development of the child. Because the child learns from absorbing through his or her five (5) senses our Sensorial activities helps the toddler to make sense of his or her environment, through colour, size,
shape, stacking and music. Language development is established through constant interaction with the adults, stories, books, songs, phonetic sounds and flashcards and the toddlers are encouraged to openly express their feelings. Early counting with objects and constant exposure to numbers 1-10 are some of the pre Math activities done. Art introduces the toddlers to the use of paint, crayons and crafts to explore their imagination. Art
Our preschoolers also have the opportunity to express themselves and be creative through the use of paint, crayons, gluing, cutting, pasting, punching and craft projects. Our Montessori Preschool
