Our preschool operates a programme which is based on the use of an hybrid (adjusted) form of the Montessori Method of child education. This method is regarded by many Scholars of Child development throughout the world as unsurpassed in its ability to help children achieve their full potential. The teacher approach is child centered. It neither imposes on the child nor does it abandon him in total free play. Specially designed apparatus in the classroom provide formative activities for the pupils within a carefully planned and structured environment in which he/she can learn and grow at his/her own pace along the line of natural development with the teacher acting as guide. The basic components of our structured environment are as follows:
Freedom: The child is allowed to move freely around the classroom talking to other children, working with any equipment he/she chooses.
Reality and nature: an experience of the natural environment is given to help the child achieve with nature.
Social Awareness: Through exercise on the care of the environment, care of self and development of social skills the child is helped towards social awareness
Order: the carefully planned and structured environment develops in the child a sense of orderliness and an awareness of order external world
Beauty: the environment is aesthetically pleasing and simple, developing a sense of beauty in the child Sense Training: This development the child’s awareness and help build the needed concepts for learning the sounds necessary for appropriate language development
