The Toddler Programme: 18 months - 2.5
years
The early years are the most formative. During this
period, young children absorb countless impressions from their surroundings
and are happiest when their environment is familiar and constant.
Maple Hill provides the calm routine the sense of order, encouragement,
acceptance and respect for their individuality that nurtures growth.
Maple Hill's Toddler Programme fosters development
of movement, independence, language and creativity and provides
an exceptional foundation for academic learning to come.
The Casa (Primary) Programme: 2.5 - 5 years
Maple Hill's Casa programme engages young children
in manipulative and sensorial activities that help them bridge the
gap between concrete and abstract learning. During this period,
they grow into their new abilities to focus for longer periods on
academic materials.
Practical Life tasks help develop gross and fine
motor skills; gaining abilities to take care of themselves and their
environment. Sensorial exercises enhance sense perceptions and logical
thinking vital to growing minds.
Casa students soon move on to academic materials,
acquiring letter sounds with Montessori Sandpaper Letters, building
words and later, reading. Older children learn with Number Rods
and Golden Beads to understan vital mathematical concepts.
At Maple Hill Montessori School, cultural activities
such as music, physical education, basic science, French, geography,
zoology, botany and art taught support Casa students on their path
to becoming compassionate, knowledgeable and loving citizens.
