Children's House
Children aged three to five are sensorial explorers that are constantly building their knowledge of the world by absorbing every aspect of their environment, language, and culture. Our program caters to the specific needs of this age group by fulfilling their innate desire to learn through direct sensory experiences with self-teaching materials. Our Montessori curriculum covers the five key areas of learning which are practical life, sensorial, math, language, and cultural studies. These key areas play an important part in the daily activities of your child. In this age group, children choose their own tasks and work independently at their own pace, under the gentle guidance of a trained teacher. The focus of this program is to prepare children for school and help them to develop independence, a strong sense of self, self-motivation, and a love of learning.
