Within an Infant/Toddler Montessori environment,
the child feels empowered to develop. The Babyplanet Montessori Program
is based on the philosophies of Maria Montessori. Children work in
the areas of Sensorial, Practical Life, Math & Language.
The Montessori Method of education focuses
on allowing a child to learn in a hands-on environment. All furniture
and material are custom-made to the child's educational level. The
children work with materials that are placed on low shelves for easy
accessability.
A small rug is provided to define a child's
personal space; one in which they can feel independence of others
in their selection of materials. All aspects of the environment are
inspected to ensure safety and security of a child being able to fully
explore at his / her own developmental level.
The children eat meals and snacks on
low tables with cube chairs so that they can engage in family-style
meals with their friends.
Babyplanet is set up on a 6000 sq feet landed property with huge gardens.
The luxury of space allows us to have numerous fun outdoor activities,
including sand play, physical activities involving slides, tunnels,
climbing structures toys and blocks. There is also a large grassy
area for sports, and child-sized picnic tables for outdoor meals (weather
permitting). There is also space for the children to ride their little
cars on. Montessori Practical Life water activities are available
during outdoor playtime. Children will feel the cosy warmth of home
in a learning environment with caring teachers.
