Elements of Montessori
Art
Montessori education fosters creativity and self-expression through art and music. Children have the opportunity to explore various art forms and musical instruments, encouraging their aesthetic development.
Cultural Studies
Montessori cultural studies encompass geography, history, botany, zoology, and other areas of science. Children explore the world's continents, countries, and cultures, gaining a global perspective and understanding their place in the world.
Grace & Courtesy
Montessori emphasizes the importance of social skills and respectful behavior. Grace and courtesy lessons teach children about manners, conflict resolution, and how to interact politely and graciously with others.
Language
The Montessori language curriculum encourages language development through a sequential approach. Children start with spoken language and move on to activities that introduce phonetic sounds and letter recognition. As they progress, they develop reading and writing skills, culminating in creative writing and language expression.
Practical Life
These activities focus on developing everyday life skills, such as pouring, spooning, dressing, cleaning, and grace and courtesy lessons. They not only promote independence and concentration but also help children refine their fine and gross motor skills.
Outside Play
Physical education is an essential part of the Montessori curriculum, promoting physical health and well-being. Children engage in activities that develop their gross motor skills and encourage an active lifestyle.
