Inspiring Children Through the Montessori Method
The Montessori curriculum at Climbing Ladders is designed to provide a well-rounded educational experience that addresses the unique developmental needs and interests of each child. We have carefully crafted five key learning areas that form the foundation of our curriculum:
Practical Life
Through practical, real-life activities, children learn essential skills such as caring for themselves, taking care of the environment and practising independence. These activities lay the groundwork for building confidence and responsibility.
Sensorial
Our curriculum integrates activities that engage the senses, allowing children to explore the world around them through touch, sight, sound, taste and smell. This hands-on approach enhances their sensory perception, spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
Mathematics
Equipping children with a strong mathematical foundation is a priority at Climbing Ladders. Our Montessori-based math activities enable children to develop numerical concepts, problem-solving skills, and logical thinking abilities. The use of concrete materials and manipulatives makes learning enjoyable and engaging.
Language
Language development is crucial during a child’s early years, and our curriculum places great emphasis on cultivating strong communication skills. Through language-rich environments, storytelling, phonics exercises, and vocabulary-building activities, children gain confidence in expressing themselves and developing exceptional language abilities.
Culture
At Climbing Ladders, we believe in promoting cultural understanding and appreciation. Our Montessori preschool curriculum embraces diversity by incorporating subjects such as geography, history, music, art, and traditions from around the world. This exposure helps children develop global perspectives and respect for different cultures and environments.
