Kindergarten
The Curiosity Montessori:
Kindergarten for Ages 3-6
A Prepared Environment
Our Kindergarten classrooms are thoughtfully arranged to promote self-directed learning. The environment is equipped with Montessori materials that are accessible to children, allowing them to choose activities that match their interests and developmental stages. Each area of the classroom is designed to support different aspects of learning, including practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, and cultural studies.
Independence and Responsibility
Children in the Kindergarten Program are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning and their environment. They engage in practical life activities such as cleaning, organizing, and caring for plants and animals, which help them develop a sense of responsibility, order, and independence.
Hands-On Learning
Montessori materials are designed to be manipulative and hands-on, allowing children to learn through active exploration and discovery. These materials help children understand abstract concepts by engaging their senses and promoting critical thinking. From counting beads to language cards, each material is an invitation to learn and grow.
Language and Literacy
Language development is a key focus in the Kindergarten Program. Children are immersed in a language-rich environment where they engage in activities that develop their vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and writing skills. Through storytelling, reading, and writing exercises, children build a strong foundation for literacy.
Mathematical Foundations
Our program introduces children to mathematical concepts through concrete materials that make learning math intuitive and enjoyable. Children explore numbers, quantities, and operations using tools like number rods, sandpaper numerals, and golden beads, which help them develop a deep understanding of mathematical principles
Cultural Awareness
Cultural studies are an integral part of the Montessori curriculum. Children explore geography, science, history, art, and music, gaining a broad understanding of the world around them. These activities foster a sense of curiosity and appreciation for different cultures and environments.
Social and Emotional Development
Social skills and emotional intelligence are nurtured through collaborative activities and guided social interactions. Children learn to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build friendships. Our teachers model respectful behaviour and provide a supportive environment where children feel valued and heard.
Creative Expression
Creativity is encouraged through art, music, and movement activities. Children have the freedom to express themselves through drawing, painting, sculpting, singing, and dancing. These activities not only enhance their creative abilities but also support fine and gross motor development.
Individualized Learning
At The Curiosity Montessori, we recognize that each child is unique. Our educators provide individualized attention and tailor learning experiences to meet the needs and interests of each child. This personalized approach ensures that children are challenged appropriately and supported in their growth.
Parent Involvement
We believe in the importance of a strong partnership with parents. Regular communication, parent-teacher conferences, and involvement in school activities ensure that parents are active participants in their child's education. We work collaboratively with parents to support each child's development and celebrate their achievements.
The Kindergarten/Children's House Program at The Curiosity Montessori provides a comprehensive, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can develop a love for learning and build a strong foundation for future academic and personal success. We are dedicated to guiding each child on their unique educational journey, helping them reach their fullest potential.
