Our Prepared Environment
The basis of our work with the children is to respect oneself and one's environment, and by environment, it includes all living and non-living things. We are dedicated to help children foster an abiding curiosity and a positive attitude towards learning, which are prerequisites for creative learning. We teach the children to learn how to learn, and to develop the skills for independent and critical thinking. Our Montessori children are confident, articulate and competent.
Development of Self Esteem
Our philosophy on providing children freedom to choose and express directly helps them develop a positive concept of self and building self-esteem. This is a long enduring process which needs to be handled appropriately from birth. Our teachers are warm, inviting and accepting and through the looking self glass, children see themselves as important contributing individuals, and therefore securing their positive concept of self. Moreover, Montessori education is an extension of our children's home environment. Children can easily find their sense of belonging and acceptance in the environment. It is a "motherly care" that the children receive to feel comfortable and confident, enhancing their ability to learn and grow.

Our Whole Child Approach
|
| |
Children need to develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. We adopt the "whole child" approach and ensure each child receives a well-balance curriculum, individualized to suit the child's needs. Children learn at their own pace, without pressure or competition. Simultaneously, they have the opportunity to develop habits of leadership, self-discipline, initiative and persistence through their guided freedom of choice and discovery.
One must not undermine the time children spend in our Montessori classroom. Each item, gesture and word in the classroom is carefully designed by Dr. Montessori for an educational purpose and each teaching staff is trained to manipulate this "directress" position to bring out the inner child to the fullest.
The Montessori philosophy is complex and in North America, many postgraduate psychology students would take up this subject in a masters program. Although in many places of the world the theories have been abused for commercial gains, nevertheless, one must not fail to recognize the true value and benefits genuine Montessori can bring for your child.
