Embedding Montessori principles in everyday learning experiences

 

Inspired by Montessori principles

In the early childhood setting curriculum means ‘all the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned, that occur in an environment designed to foster children's learning and development'.

As a Montessori Centre, we are licensed to use Montessori Curriculum which focuses on Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Mathematics. Considerable emphasis is also placed on Creative Arts, Music, Science, Geography and Cultural Studies.

We focus our curriculum on 3 B's: Belonging, Being and Becoming.

 
 

  • Belonging acknowledges children's interdependence with others and the basis of relationships in defining identities. In early childhood, and throughout life, relationships are crucial to a sense of belonging, and it shapes who children are and who they can become.

  • Being recognises the significance of the here and now in children's lives. It is about the present and them knowing themselves, building and maintaining relationships with others, engaging with life's joys and complexities, and meeting challenges in everyday life.

  • Becoming reflects a process of rapid and significant change that occurs in the early years as young children learn and grow. It emphasises learning to participate fully and actively in society.
