The objective of Montessori is to take control of a child's
natural senses and ability to learn. The child develops his/her ability
through exploration, touch and learning without fear. The child's
self-esteem and self-confidence are increased along with the learning
experience.
The curriculum is split into 5 modules:
-Practical Life: Develops
hand-eye co-ordination using every day materials and
exercises.
-Sensorial: Works on the basis that children learn using their senses so by
classifying and identifying them, this will aid their progress.
-Maths: Using concrete materials the children adapt to mathematical concepts
-Language: Using both concrete and abstract materials the children will develop
reading and writing skills naturally.
-Culture: Looks
at providing the children with an insight into the world around
them. Topics covered are geography, history, biology, botany, zoology, art
and music.
