Our experienced teachers use a selection of engaging activities, such as storytelling and group interactions, to foster language skills in our toddlers. We believe that early language acquisition is fundamental for future learning success, and we strive to support and enhance this important developmental milestone.
Independence and self-confidence are also important aspects in our approach to toddlers, we provide them with opportunities to practice self-help skills such as dressing, eating, and toileting. Our teachers provide gentle guidance and support, empowering toddlers to develop a sense of independence and self-confidence as they learn to take care of themselves. We ensure progression by regularly introducing new elements to provide challenges, inspire self-confidence and facilitate learning.

Pre-School Class 3 - 6 years old
The period of development from 3 to 6 years old is a time of rapid growth and change, encompassing social, emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects. At our Montessori school, our skilled teachers are attuned to these changes and provide appropriate lessons to support each child’s growth and emerging capabilities. Cooperative play and social interactions are of most importance and our teachers create opportunities for our children to engage in collaborative activities that promote teamwork, communication, and social skills.
Language development is also a central focus in our Montessori programme. We provide a rich language environment where children are exposed to a variety of spoken and written language experiences. Our teachers offer language-rich activities such as storytelling, phonics exercises, and early writing activities that foster the development of literacy skills. Children are encouraged to express themselves verbally and in writing, nurturing their emerging skills in reading and writing.
We provide ample opportunities for children to engage in gross and fine motor activities that enhance their physical coordination, balance, and strength.
Our holistic approach nurtures social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.6
