Our Preschool (Early Learners – Nursery 2) is a specially prepared Montessori environment. Montessori curriculum emphasizes learning as a process that cannot be determined by a child' age. It is different from traditional classroom curriculum that focuses on children learning the same thing at the same time, in the same way. Instead learning is determined by the rate and speed at which a child can acquire a skill before moving to another skill. The teaching method is child centred where each child is allowed to develop and learn at his/her own pace.

The Five Montessori curriculum areas are:

PRACTICAL LIFE EXERCISES (PLE) – The aim of PLE is to provide purposeful activity, develop the child motor control and coordination, develop independence, and a sense of responsibility. It included many of the task the child sees as part of daily routine at home. It is divided into three main areas : care of the person, care of environment and grace and courtesy

SENSORIAL EDUCATION- The aim of sensorial education is to help refine the child's senses (Visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile and gustatory through exercise that focus on attention and comparism of judgement. Children explores the world around them through the constant use of his/her senses. Sensorial materials isolates on quality such as colour, texture, size, shape, weigh, sound or taste.

MATHEMATICS - Little children are naturally attracted to the science of number. The unique Montessori material helps the child to gain a real understanding of mathematics through repetition and manipulation. It begins concretely and progresses towards the abstract, from simple to complex.

LANGUAGE – Language is a means of communication ideas or feelings by the uses of conventional sources and sings, thus being the spoken or written language. The child is introduced to individual letter sounds after the child has been giving names for everything in the environment through tactile and auditory experiences through sandpaper/sand tray.

CULTURAL SUBJECTS - The Cultural Subjects (Social Studies and Science) offers the child the opportunity to explore and learn about the animate and inanimate aspects of our planets.
