Programmes

Every level shares the same mixed-age classroom and 3.5-hour day described in Our Philosophy — children will experience individual Montessori work and group activities.

Classroom corners

The five corners below are always available during Montessori work time, and our directresses continually adapt them to what the children are ready for:

• Practical Life — 11 dressing frames (zippers, buttons, laces, buckles, hooks & eyes, Velcro), pouring and transferring work, and a washstand for hands-on washing.
• Sensorial — the Pink Tower, Broad Stair, Knobless Cylinders, Geometry Cabinet, Colour Tablets, Sound Boxes, and more of the classic Montessori sensorial materials.
• English Language — Sandpaper Letters, Movable and Printed Alphabet, Metal Insets, phonics boxes, and graded reading folders.
• Mathematics — the full Montessori decimal system, bead chains, Seguin boards, and materials for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, all built from concrete, hands-on work.
• Cultural — the Botany Cabinet, globes, land-and-water forms, and a puzzle map of the world.

We also keep a rotating Book Corner, refreshed fortnightly, including materials from World Book's Early World of Learning (EWOL) series.

Group activities

Beyond individual work, children come together for:

• Chinese language
• Cultural topic discussions and projects (history, science, botany, zoology, geography)
• Creative art, cookery, and music & movement
• A character-building programme
• "Sound of the Week" (covering 40 of English's 44 speech sounds)
• Thematic Maths (Montessori Centre International's curriculum)

Outdoor programmes

• Field trips to farms and places of interest
• Neighbourhood walks
• Outdoor activities at Punggol Park
• Playground time during Playground Weeks (a five-day week without any large group gross motor activity scheduled)
