Montessori Playgroup
The Montessori Learning
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children at the age of 0 to 6 years old are in the “creative period” of developing life. Within each child is an inner energy that guides him/her to manifest his/her potentialities. That is why Dr. Montessori advocated the importance of children’s freedom to choose activities within an environment especially designed to help them fulfill their needs. She developed the “prepared environment” that allows children to work based on their natural interest, at their own speed and capabilities. She pointed out the importance of children using their hands to work for their own development. She encouraged “purposeful movement” in children to build their confidence, which facilitate independence, setting a positive attitude toward the self as they go on to higher learning.
Our Approach
At Young Explorer’s Montessori Playgroup, we built such an environment to cater to the need for children aged 2+ to 6 years old to have freedom for self-directed learning. We offer a wide variety of activities pertaining to all facets of life into the classroom. The children are free to choose their own activities according to their own capacities and natural interest, and most importantly they work at their own speed. We strongly believe that only this will bring natural joy of exploration and the love of learning.
