OUR CURRICULUM
With state-of-the-art equipment and well-motivated and experienced teachers, Swanzy Montessori provides the best educational experience for children below the age of 6 years. This ignites in our preschooler the love for learning and provides them with good foundation for basic education.
Our approach to early childhood education in Swanzy Montessori contributes significantly to the physical, psychomotor, cognitive, social, and emotional development of our preschoolers. Through our courses: practical life, sensorial activities, language, mathematics, and cultural studies, we build our preschooler’s sense of creativity and self-awareness.
PRACTICAL LIFE
Practical life activities are applicable for all ages, even infants, and change depending on what the child can do at each stage of development. The activities can start with something as simple as pulling pants up or washing hands and can get as complicated as washing clothes.
Through these hands-on practical activities, we support our preschoolers in refining their fine and gross motor skills, which in effect develops their sense of coordination, order, independence, and to experience the sensation of concentration with something non-academic.
CULTURAL STUDIES
Cultural Studies is an important subject which broadens children’s understanding of the world around them and their place in it. The subject introduces children to the physical world of plants and animals, the exploration of differences and similarities among people, and the opportunity to see, hear, taste, smell and manipulate the real things that make up their unique cultural environment.
At Swanzy Montessori, we teach cultural studies to spark our preschooler’s imagination and interest. We do this through child-directed activities, which helps them unconsciously build their skills in observation, prediction, sequencing, categorizing, questioning, organizing, comparing, and contrasting.
SENSORIAL
Sensory development lays the foundation for preschoolers learning experience as they make sense of the world around them, using their five (5) senses.
At Swanzy Montessori, we incorporate sensory activities in our lesson plan using the relevant sensorial teaching materials. This course therefore helps our preschoolers cope with changes in their environment and enable them to adapt to real-life situations.
Â
In Swanzy Montessori, we place heavy emphasis on learning through the senses. This helps our preschoolers explore their world through their interaction with our sensorial materials. The activities we do helps their power of observation, physical and mental foundation for further learning and exploration.
LANGUAGE
The major step in a child’s development is to learn how to speak. Language helps a child to communicate with others and to understand them. As a child, the ability to speak effectively has a positive impact their self-esteem.
At Swanzy Montessori, we support our preschoolers to develop their language skills faster. We carry out language development activities that are child-centered and age-appropriate. With our language-rich environment, our preschoolers become familiar with sounds and symbols and begin the process of writing, which naturally leads to reading. This fosters among the children, the love for communication
MATHEMATICS
Early math skills take more than just learning how to count and add. It involves learning how to identify patterns and relationships. This helps children to handle problem-solving tasks very early in their education.
At Swanzy Montessori, we spend much time exposing our preschoolers to concrete materials and reinforcing numbers and concepts. We harness the mathematical skills of our preschoolers to enable them estimate, quantify, identify, similarity, difference, and patterns, to make order and sequence and to control error.
As we teach our preschoolers counting, we aim at helping them memorize the order of numbers. In sorting of objects, we help them commit specific attributes to memory. This not only help them improve their ability to remember things but also to understand the principles.
