Montessori Approach

In Montessori education, sensitive periods refer to a critical window of opportunity in a child's development when they are naturally drawn to learning certain skills or concepts.

During these phases, children absorb information effortlessly and show intense focus on particular activities. These windows are temporary and if opportunity is missed, learning the same skill later may require more effort.

Montessori key areas of learning are scientifically designed to align with children's developmental stages and sensitive periods, ensuring an optimal learning experience.

An authentic Montessori classroom usually offers children

five distinct learning areas, allowing children to

move between as they please.

Practical Life Skills

02

Sensorial

Our Kindy Program

Practical Life Skills & Activities

The exercises of Practical Life resemble the simple work of life in the home: sweeping, washing, sewing, cooking etc. 

These purposeful activities help the children learn essential life skills while strengthening their ability to focus, eye-hand coordination, develop sense of responsibility, and contribute to their community.

As children engage in hands-on activities,

 their intellect develops, their personality integrates, allowing body and mind to function

as a unified whole.

Multi-Sensory Discovery

Sensorial activities are designed to help children refine their five senses. These materials were developed to support young children in building and organizing their cognitive abilities.

Each scientifically crafted materials isolates a specific quality found in the world -- such as color, size, shape, texture etc.

By engaging with these materials, children grasp concepts experientially that words alone cannot fully explain.

Building a Logical &

Mathematical Mind

Montessori mathematics: A Journey from Hands-On Exploration to Abstract Mastery

Montessori math materials are designed to invite curiosity. Children explore mathematical concepts--like quantity, sequence, and operations using tactile materials they can touch, manipulate, count and even carry.

 Over time, their hand-on experiences organically evolve into mental understanding--they "discover" addition, subtraction, or place value long before memorizing symbols or equations.

Language

English

We guide children to read using a structured phonics system -- starting with phonetic sounds, children progress to word building, supported by leveled readers and rich self-learning materials. Let's nurture your child's journey to becoming a confident, passionate English reader and writer!

Chinese

Our program, designed with China's Montessori educators, guides children from simple strokes to complex sentences through hands-on and interesting materials. These materials and structured progression nurture reading, writing, and a joyful appreciation for Mandarin's rhythm and cultural heritage.

Bahasa Melayu

As Malaysia's national language, BM is taught through a structured, child-centered approach. We begin with "fonik" (phonics) to build sound-letter connections, then introduce "suku kata" (syllables) for rhythmic fluency. Fun and engaging materials empower children to read, write, and embrace the language's cultural richness.

A Holistic Journey from Listening to Literacy

In the Montessori environment, language learning is a vibrant, multisensory journey that nurtures "listening, spoken communication, written expression, and reading" -- all seamlessly interwoven to unlock a child's innate potential.​

Through hands-on exploration, rich materials, and captivating stories, children discover language not as a subject to memorize, but as joyful tool for self-expression and connection.

Science concepts & Nature Studies

Art & Music

The Montessori Culture Learning Area
is a holistic, interdisciplinary component of the curriculum designed to nurture a child's understanding of the world, its people, and

the interconnectedness of all life.

At the Montessori environment, language learning blossoms into a gateway for exploring the world.​ Geography, History, Science, Astronomy, Art, and Music are woven seamlessly into the curriculum through specialized vocabulary, transforming abstract concepts into tangible, child-driven discovery. 

Different topics feature in the classroom at different times, following children's evolving interests. Books in the mini library also cover these topics.
