Our Kindergarten
For many children, this may be the first step into society outside their familiar environment, which is a huge leap for everyone. We ensure that this transition is made easier through diligent assessment and by providing them with exciting challenges and activities to help them build confidence and independence in a space they feel safe to grow.
Our Kindergarten hours are Monday to Friday 9:30 to 14:30 in general. We also provide extended daycare from 8:00 to 17:00 and English classes from 17:00 to 18:30 for our Kindergarten students.
Kindergarten Schedule
Montessori studies = Work
Montessori English
Our main goal is to learn how to read and write with confidence by the time they graduate Kindergarten. Our learning materials adopt the 5 most important ideas of Montessori, therefore, our students memorise the sound of each alphabet, known as phonics. They will eventually learn to connect the sounds in order to read a word and finally progress to reading books.
Montessori Math
Starting around 4 years of age, the child enters “sensitive periods” for order and precision. At this age, the child takes greater interest in following instructions, spatial awareness, writing and counting, which are all qualities obtained to develop a mathematical mind. With the help of our incredible materials, most of our students are able to solve math equations using the four basic mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Montessori Sensorial
The sensorial curriculum holds a significant place in Montessori methodology. Senses are the means by which people collect information about the world through their bodies, including taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing. This is why the Adventurers (age 3 to 4) have Sensorial as a subject. As the child moves beyond the stage of indiscriminate discovery the child at this age will be ready to train and polish their senses to broaden their understanding of their environment and the world.
Circle Time
Just like many Kindergartens around the world, we have a time to have mingle time and guided discussions/ activities for the older children called “Circle Time”. The topic of discussion depends on each class, but we always make sure to feed their curious minds! Through natural interaction with their teachers and friends during Circle Time, students develop their communication skills and increase their English vocabulary.
Fun Friday
We work hard and play hard! As a reward for all the hard work our students put into during the week, we have a day of fun, whether it’d be playing games together, arts and craft time or conducting experiments!
