Sensorial Exercises

First learning is through the senses and we use a range of well thought out exercises and materials to help children sort, match and compare objects by colour, shape, size, touch, taste and sound. The sensorial materials are used to develop concentration and promote independence within the child. Some are also used as in indirect preparation for writing.

Communication and Language

Our Montessori language materials are based on a carefully structured phonic approach to reading and writing. First, children learn sensorially by tracing sandpaper letters and soon they are forming simple words with the moveable alphabet.

Mathematics

Our Montessori materials such as the number rods, sandpaper numerals, spindle boxes and glass beads provide the child with a solid foundation in this core subject. These materials provide a step-by-step learning and are self correcting, which means that the child can see their own mistakes without any adult assistance, enabling them to progress at their own pace.
