Graphic of Beyond Inspired: Harnessing Curiosity

Pre-Primary

3 – 6 Years

Seeking adventures to ignite your child’s natural curiosity, energy and joy for lifelong learning.

Montessori is a continuum of education that allows your child to build upon experiences each year. Your child will stay in the Pre-Primary classroom for 3 years, including the traditional “kindergarten year” – when the seeds of learning come to fruition. Reading and writing come to life from sounds and symbols. Your child is introduced to numbers and the decimal system and learns about geometric figures and the political countries of our world. Your child leaves the program with a strong set of academic skills; but, far more importantly, with the attitude that learning is fun, exciting and boundless. Our purposefully designed rooms are set up to support your child’s love of learning, allowing them to move, touch, manipulate, and explore through five distinct areas: Practical Life, Language, Sensorial, Mathematics, Cultural Subjects

Practical Life

Our rooms are set up to provide your child with a connection between their home life and school, giving them the chance to practice activities they have likely seen you do many times before – such as sweeping a floor or watering plants. These activities help the child learn to care for themselves and others leading to responsibility, self-respect, respect for others and for the environment.

Language

The gift of language is so important, we encourage your child’s joy of learning language to grow and develop as they explore their surroundings each day. Your child will develop pre-reading, reading, writing, literacy and verbal skills through their daily discoveries and experiences.

Sensorial

The sensorial area of the classroom appeals to the child’s five senses, stimulating them to explore the environment using their senses to develop discrimination, order, refinement of movement and concentration. Tracing a sandpaper letter m with a finger, a child not only sounds out the symbol m but also feels it! Later, their muscles will remember the tracing motion as they write the letter. These and other materials allow for repetition and control of error. Sensorial materials form the basis for mathematics, language, and the arts.

Mathematics

Is your child intensely aware of numbers? Do you find that they are constantly counting their steps or little items that they play with during their day? Our traditional Montessori materials will help your child discover and understand mathematical and geometrical concepts. They will be encouraged and supported in further understanding higher mathematical skills, problem solving and reasoning.

Cultural Subjects

During their day, your child will enjoy activities in biology, history, geography, science, art, music and drama, broadening their understanding of the world around them. Our school is very culturally diverse across all programs helping to develop the appreciation and acceptance of all cultures within your child.

Session Times:
5 half days (3 & 4 year olds - 8:30am-12pm)
5 full days (3-6 year olds - 8:30am-3pm)
3 full days (3 & 4 year olds - 8:30am-5:30pm, can collect at 3pm if needed)
Before and after school care available.

Kindergarten

Montessori is a continuum of education that allows your child to build upon experiences each year. Your child will stay in the Primary classroom for 3 years, which can include the traditional “kindergarten year” – when the seeds of learning come to fruition. Reading and writing come to life from sounds and symbols. Your child is introduced to numbers and the decimal system. They learn about geometric figures and the political countries of our world. Your child leaves the program with a strong set of academic skills; but, far more importantly, with the attitude that learning is fun, exciting and boundless. At this point, your child is ready to move up to the Lower Primary program, for children from the ages of 6 to 9.

Please speak to your child’s classroom teacher or contact the Admissions Manager if you wish to enrol your child into the Kindergarten year.
