Montessori education is renowned for its unique approach, emphasizing child-led learning, hands-on experiences, and a carefully prepared environment. The curriculum is broad and comprehensive, covering various developmental areas.
Our curriculum integrated into the classroom environment. It allows children to explore and learn at their own pace, with teachers guiding and facilitating their individual learning journeys.
The materials and activities are designed to cater to a child’s natural developmental stages and interests, fostering a lifelong love for learning and curiosity about the world.
1. Practical Life:
Activities promoting independence, care of self, care of the environment, and fine motor skills. These tasks might include pouring, washing dishes, dressing frames, etc.
2. Sensorial Development:
Materials designed to refine and educate the senses, aiding in the understanding of size, shape, texture, sound, taste, and smell. These materials help children classify and understand their world through sensory experiences.

Exploration of geography, history, botany, zoology, music, art, and other cultural subjects. Our Montessori classrooms offer materials and activities that introduce children to various aspects of the world and its diversity.
6. Science:
Hands-on experiments and activities that encourage exploration and understanding of scientific principles. Children might engage in activities related to nature, the human body, and basic scientific concepts.
