Montessori Curriculum – Curated Age Wise
Introduction
Every child is unique and deserves an enriching learning experience. The Montessori curriculum is a beacon for comprehensive growth. Montessori encourages children to be more curious about learning. The key strength of Montessori lies in its carefully curated curriculum tailored to specific age groups, ensuring that each child receives balanced guidance.
Let us get through some of the different curated stages of Montessori education, from daycare to the elementary years, exploring the characteristics of each phase.
- Daycare (2 years & above)
Daycare centres care for pupils with nourishing programs such as reading, writing, storytelling, music and games. Specialized Montessori materials arouse the senses of sight, touch, sound, and scent, fostering an enthusiasm for learning new things. - Toddler Program (2-3 years)
The toddler program lays a strong foundation for language and cognitive development. Learning through plays aids kids to develop knowledge to understand novel elements such as shapes, sizes and patterns. - Montessori 1 (3 - 4 years)
Montessori 1 gets in-depth about Montessori materials and curriculum. This focuses on refining fine motor skills, expanding language capabilities and introducing mathematics to your tiny tots. - Montessori 2 (4 to 5 years)
While toddlers enter Mont 2, they continue to build upon their foundational skills while exploring new concepts. Practical activities, sensorial perceptions, and language development exercises are integrated with math and cultural studies, providing a well-rounded exposure. Children are encouraged to follow their interests and pursue their dreams, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. - Montessori 3 (5 to 6 years)
Mont 3 prepares children for elementary school while continuing to emphasize directed learning. Keening on literacy, numerical, and cultural studies, children engage in interdisciplinary projects that encourage critical thinking and collaboration. The Montessori 3 classroom serves as a vibrant community where children develop a sense of empathy and respect for others. - Elementary Years (6 to 12 years)
Elementary years encompass a wide range of subjects and opportunities tailored to meet the diverse needs and interests of students.Whether it is Science, Arts or Mathematics, through a combination of individual and group projects, children explore topics in depth, make connections across disciplines, and develop essential skills such as research, problem-solving, and communication.
