The Montessori Class covers a number of different areas of learning

The "Practical Life" activities teach your child how to care for himself and his environment. Here he will learn to dress himself by using the Dressing Frames (Buttons, Snaps, Zippers, Buckles, Laces & Bows, Hooks & Eyes), to Pour (Grains/Water), to Wash a Table, Polish a Mirror and to Wash his Hands properly among many other things.

The "Sensorial" activities allow her to use her Senses to learn about the World and her Environment. Here, your child will learn to judge different heights, lengths, weights, textures, colours, sounds, smells and shapes.

The Language, Math, Geography and Social Science activities provide your child with aids for his intellectual development. Click here for Jounen Kweyol pictures
