Curriculum and activities

In line with the Montessori approach, there is no set curriculum and activities for all children. Instead, we work with parents to create targets for individual children based on their abilities and interests, covering key developmental areas such as sensory/ perceptual development, self-help skills, language skills, physical/ motor skills, and social and emotional growth. In addition to this, we do have a range of activities that normally take place throughout the academic year.

Our activities encourage learning through play enhancing the development of language, emotional and creative skills. Children can partake in painting, baking, day visits to the park, crafts, sand/ water play and gardening. As well as this, literature and numerical skills are developed through various activities. These may include learning how to read clocks, understanding the sequence of numbers, and reading/ writing.

 

Children with special educational needs are supported using building and creating activities which promote social interaction and stimulation. For example, SEN children can partake in multi-step sensory play or heuristic play.

​

Some of the event-themed activities we do include Sports Day, activities for various celebrations like Christmas or Diwali, and Birthdays. This is to aid the development of situational awareness and to enhance social interaction among the children.
