When your child enters preschool, you want to make sure they are learning in a way that is effective but also holds their attention. Otherwise, they may get bored and not pay attention. We use the Montessori Singapore method of teaching, which focuses on fun, engaging lessons that are disguised as fun games and activities that teach through play. With our methods, they’ll be learning new things without even realizing it.
A Safe, Fun Learning Environment
It’s important that the environment your child learns in is prepped not only for learning, but for fun. With the Montessori method, you can expect to see furniture built to be the right size for children, along with workspaces of the same size. Shelves and cabinets can help to keep everything organized to give the atmosphere of a clean learning environment.
The way we have everything set up, kids can learn through their activities, no matter what they choose to play with that day. Beyond that, they will also learn that by putting it back in its place when they are done, it will be right there the next time they decide to use it.
Activity Is Left Up to Them
Sitting still in one place is not the right way to keep children engaged in what they’re trying to learn. With the Montessori method, children will move around the room if they feel as though they need to. This can keep them from getting anxious and bored, allowing them to better learn the material being taught to them.
Materials and Manipulatives
Certain materials can help a child better understand the topic they are learning about. They may use pencils, crayons, and paper, but they will also use manipulatives or toys that can give them a more hands-on approach to learning any subject. It can even help them learn more foreign concepts because they see it come together, no matter which subjects they are working to understand.
Choice of Activities
Children have a voice with opinions, too, and should be heard. Whether they prefer to work with certain partners or even prefer to sit in a certain seat. Allowing the child some say in their learning will push them to focus more on the task at hand and keep everyone happy in the long run.
With the Montessori Singapore method, your preschooler will thrive. Whether they’re just getting started in school, or they’ve already struggled in a previous preschool, your student can learn to do amazing things. All they need is the right environment with teaching techniques to cater to their own needs.
