Montessori Children's House

Pincushion International School

The Montessori Children’s House is a warm, peaceful, and welcoming Montessori preschool and kindergarten program. There is a deep sense of respect between the teachers and the children. Through grace and courtesy exercises, we teach children how to problem-solve conflicts, how to interact politely in various situations, and how to be kind and helpful to their friends. The result is a cohesive community of young children.

The spacious child-sized environment and multi-age Montessori classroom encourage older children of the environment to foster leadership skills. The younger children benefit from having role models in the classroom. In the Children’s House, even the shy 5-year-old is encouraged to practice a leadership role. The younger children will look up to the elder kid and ask for their help and assistance. This process is the confidence builder children need in their development.

In a Montessori classroom, students work individually or in small groups at tables or on mats on the floor. Natural lighting, soft colours, and uncluttered spaces set the stage for an activity that is focused and calm. Learning materials are arranged on accessible shelves according to curricular areas, fostering independence as students go about their work. Everything is where it is supposed to be, conveying a sense of harmony and order that both comforts and inspires.

Half a Day Program – 09:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Full-Day Program – 09:00 AM to 3:00 PM

The full-day program is for Kindergarten students aged four and five who are ready for a longer school day beyond noon.

Practical Life Activities

These activities prepare children to care for themselves and the environment and give each child a sense of mastery and self-confidence. Performing such tasks as sweeping, polishing, washing, and preparing snacks, children develop coordination, concentration, and good work habits, such as completing a task.

Sensorial Learning

Montessori materials are designed to heighten the child’s senses of sight, touch, sound, taste, and smell. Children’s senses are key to understanding and classifying the environment. Through distinguishing, categorizing, and comparing the concrete, children develop a foundation for understanding the abstract.

Mathematics

Children’s understanding of the basic mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division emerges from using manipulative materials such as rods, beads, sandpaper numerals, cards, and counters, which allow the student to visualize the abstraction of numbers. Using self-correcting materials, children learn not only number recognition and place value but also to solve problems and develop a visual image of mathematical concepts.

Language Arts

Using simple alphabet cut-outs and sandpaper letters, children learn the sounds of letters and soon are linking letters to make words, then words to make sentences. Children first develop small muscle coordination necessary to master writing in their exercises of daily living and in using sensorial materials. They soon progress to writing letters.

Culture And Science

Geography, science, art, and music are referred to as cultural subjects. Children learn about people, their countries, and the world through food, music, pictures, flags, maps, artifacts, holiday celebrations, and other cultural observations. The foundation of the Montessori experience is the primary program for children in the important early formative years.
