Description: For the young child, there is something special about tasks, which an adult considers ordinary. Imitation is one of the child's strongest urges during his early years.Tasks are broken down into simple steps so that the child learns how to comb his hair, button, tie, pour water, wash tables, wash clothes on a miniature scrub board, sweep rose petals from the floor, and polish brass. Prepare and serve food such as bananas, carrots or celery to friends and guests.
The Montessori sensory materials help the child to distinguish, to categorize and to relate new information to what she already knows. Our children work with materials specifically designed to refine their sense of color, weight, shape, texture, size, sound, smell and taste.
Eventually, through the use of our specially designed materials our children learn about the decimal system, the process of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Materials throughout the environment directly and indirectly prepare the child for the acquisition of these skills. A complete reading system is available to the children, by which they gain an understanding that separate sounds can be blended together to make meaningful words.
