Babyplanet has successfully integrated a Montessori curriculum with the demands of an academic-based program.

Our Montessori preschool environment has these distinct areas:

Practical Life
Practical Life activities are offered to assist your child in developing a sense of order, concentration, personal pride, independence, respect for others, fine motor skills, grace and courtesy, confidence and self esteem.

Sensorial Development
Sensorial Activities : An array of activities to assist the child in understanding the information she receives from her environment. Sensorial impressions are infinite. The activities presented help your child discriminate, appreciate and understand her world.

Language Arts
Through the use of a multitude of activities, your child first learns his phonetic sounds, phonetic reading and writing, irregular or sight words, phonograms and blends, which leads to fluent (total) reading.

Culture and Science
Geography - Starting with land, water and air, and progressing to studying the world's different regions through photographs, art, geo-molds and geography puzzles.
History - By examining their own timeline from birth to present, and their own family tree, children gain their first sense of history, and the concept of time is brought to life.
Botany - Assists your child in exploring the biological aspects of his environment. Helps him develop an appreciation for the delicate balance of nature. The study of botany is child-centered using live plants as a knowledge and interest catalyst.
Zoology - Children by their very nature are fascinated with animals. We learn about animals and to respect their needs, habits and characteristics.
Science Experiments - The activities are interesting and fun! They are all "hands on". Prediction and analysis are incorporated into each experiment.

Mathematics
All activities incorporate the use of concrete materials. Children first learn to count to ten, and systematically progress to solving complex addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions.The program aims to give children a good understanding of Mathematical concepts by working with concrete materials. As such, children will find it easier to abstract and internalize concepts of number, symbol, sequence, basic operations and memorization of basic facts.

Mandarin - Daily classes aim to help the child build a solid foundation in Mandarin. Reading will be taught through character recognition with accurate pronunciation. The child will also learn to write by mastering character strokes and sentence construction.
The program aims to help the child to build a good foundation in Mandarin by enriching their vocabulary as well as teaching them to read and write the language in a systematic and interesting manner. The child will also be taught Hanyu Pinyin to prepare him/her for the demands of Primary School.

Physical and Social Education
The children get to play outdoors daily. Their gross motor skills are developed while playing with various playground equipment and organized games. The children will also enjoy weekly water-play sessions.
Social development is enhanced during these activities as children learn to play, take turns, share and have fun with their friends.
