MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Our Montessori Preschool Program is set in a dynamic learning environment that empowers children with independence, freedom of choice, and real-life skills. The program focuses on extending children’s knowledge of the five curriculum areas and preparing them for school.
The preschool classroom is a prepared environment where learning materials are grouped by curriculum area. Learning materials increase in difficulty to build children’s knowledge as their confidence and competence increase.
Throughout the day, our preschoolers participate in a structured daily routine that provides the ideal balance of learning time, physical activity, creative play, and group activities to support children’s complete development.
Families receive daily updates about their children’s learning, eating, and sleeping patterns through our parent communication app.
PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT
Between the ages of three and six, your child’s brain is capable of rapidly absorbing information through experience. Our program provides the ideal environment for children to maximise this crucial learning period for reading, writing, mathematics, grace and courtesy, order, systems, and relationships.
