The framework is set by OFSTED.
Practical Life Exercises Practical life provides the opportunity for purposeful work and will assist children in their physical, emotional and social development underlined in the Foundation Staged Curriculum. The Practical Life exercises provide a sane and wholesome range of activities that allow your child to develop control and coordination of movements, awareness of his/her
environment, good work habits, responsibility, concentration, attention, independence, order and positive self-image, which can be attained by spontaneous and purposeful work.
	Sensorial Exercising These activities are designed to reinforce the five senses to help guide the children in learning to discriminate, clarify and compare. Sensorial exercises help prepare for intellectual development in an orderly manner. The Sensorial materials introduce the concept of color, weight, shape. texture, size, sound and smell in an enjoyable way and are great fun for the children. The Sensorial materials teach knowledge and understanding of the world, which is recommended by the Early Learning Goals. The Sensorial materials lay a solid foundation for Mathematics, Geomety, Geography, Botany. Art and Music.
Communication, Language and Literacy Young children have a phenomenal ability to absorb language. Every effort is made to give each child as much and precise vocabulary as possible. The process of absorbing, communicating and expressing is encouraged whether individually or in a group. This is a very important part of the Montessori curriculum and meets all the Early Learning Goals. Sandpaper letters are used to introduce the sounds of thealphabet to the child when he/she is ready. In the
Montessori, children do not learn by heart, but utilizes all their senses to help them read and write with proper understanding. Discovering language becomes interesting, fun and creative through activities in the Pink, Blue and Green Montessori language series. Each child works at his/her own pace - gradually through daily practices, pre-writing, pre-reading, communication skills and reading.
Cultural Subjects Cultural studies help the child gain knowledge and understanding of the world. •  Botany and Zoology Children will be taught to classify impressions into clear and simple categories. •  Geography To launch the child's exploration of the world's physical environment, children are introduced to the various continents, countries, states and different cultures. •  History Through creative activities such as modeling, painting and collage, children are taught to understand the distinction between the past and present and how past events have led to the present situation.
Creative Art/ Play Creativity is fundamental to successful learning. Being creative enables children to make connections between one area of learning to another, allowing him/her to extend his/her understanding.
	Mathematics Mathematics materials are designed to give the child a sound understanding of numbers and their relationship. Work is always introduced in a simple and sensorial way so that the child can see, hold and feel a number or concept and gradually be led to an abstract understanding. Children will learn numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, length , weight, capacity and problem solving.
Imaginative Play The role-play area enables the children to use their imagination. It builds confidence, encouraging cooperation and intervention amongst themselves. It offers a wider knowledge of their dresses and of people who help in the community.
Music & Movement A music-and-movement programme that develops rhythm and coordination in your child in order for him/her to express himself/herself.
	Physical Development The foundation stage is about improving skills in coordination, manipulation and control. Physical development has two very important aspects: it helps children gain confidence in what they do and also enables them to feel the positive benefits of keeping healthy. Children naturally love to jump, hop, bounce, roll, climb, catch, balance and stretch and have the opportunity to do so here under careful supervision.
Sand/Water Play This area provides endless scope and opportunity. Sand and water play holds a sensory experience and encourages manipulative skills (eg. Pouring accurately). It also provides a soothing effect, promotes concentration and leads to imaginative play. It provides an outlet for mathematical and scientific discoveries (eg. Volume, capacity, floating and sinking and weight). Sand and water play also give rich opportunities for language building.
