Children participate in their first Montessori work cycle. During this time children freely choose from Montessori activities ranging from Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Cultural areas. Children may decide to work with materials from one activity for the whole work cycle or move freely between tasks. Children are guided through activities as required by our nurturing educators.
Children are offered options to work on activities focusing specifically on (Focusing on fine, gross motors skills, concentration, coordination skills. Enhancing their sensorial and language development.) They may also choose from a range of co-curricular activities from mindful-based learning to musical play. Montessori workcycle is until 11am. Educators will also run group sessions for yoga, relaxation and art appreciation that our toddlers can participate in should they choose to.
Group time is an essential part of our program as it promotes the development of a strong sense of belonging and community through sharing of learning and experiences. Group time activities include show and tell opportunities, inquiry-based learning activities, grace and courtesy lessons, language and writing skills, geography study and craft activities. Children are encouraged to share thoughts and ideas on what they enjoyed and what they would like to work on more promoting voice and agency of the child.
Children are encouraged to rest for at least 3o min to reenergize for the rest of the day. Each child has their own floor bed should they choose to sleep listening to soft music. Children who do not want to sleep participate in quiet activities such as story time, mindful colouring, or quite work with the Montessori materials. As the rest period draws to a close, children prepare for afternoon tea and outdoor play.
During this time children are again provided with the opportunity to continue working with the Montessori materials. Otherwise they participate in quiet group time activities such as quite reading with educators or work on interest projects.
This period in a child’s life marks the transition from infant to toddler. During this stage, the child achieves many important milestones and develops at an incredible speed.
