WELCOME TO MONTESSORI EARLY YEARS 

The British International School and Montessori Education support children aged 16 months to 5 years in its Early Years Program. 

 
The Early Years Program adheres strictly to the Maria Montessori educational approach which focuses on the sensitive periods of the child. These are moments that show readiness for learning. During this period children are often seen repeating certain actions until a new skill emerges and is then mastered. We believe that the sensitive periods are crucial to the child’s developmental needs and so we have prepared an environment that nurtures those needs.

OUR STORY

Children in our Montessori Garden are given every opportunity to explore, learn and interact positively thereby laying a strong foundation that prepares them physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually

THE SIX SENSITIVE PERIODS OF CHILDREN

 

  • Sensitivity to order

 

  • Sensitivity to language

 

  • Sensitivity to walking

 

  • Sensitivity to the social aspects of life

 

  • Sensitivity to small objects

 

  • Sensitivity to learning through the senses

All learning activities revolve around Montessori Key Areas of Learning and linking each area with the seven key stages of the UK Early Years Framework (EYFS)

 

Our setting has been designed to encourage young children to make new friends, be socially active and become independent. Our children are supported further using the Montessori learning resources which helps in nurturing care of the self and the environment.

INDEPENDANCE

We recognise the importance of routines for young children as it helps them to settle in quickly. The well being the children is of paramount importance to us at BIS and so we ensure that their day is structured to include free flow activities to support and encourage freedom of choice.

ONLINE LEARNING SUPPORT

 

With recent growth in the use of technology in the world of education, at BIS we have observed and seen the benefits of e-learning. To ensure continous motivation and the enhancement of the children’s learning experiences we have combined the use of interactive learning approaches and teacher led approaches in our classrooms.

 

The online programs being offered in our preschool and kindergarten classrooms extend beyond the classroom and children can be further supported at home using the programs.

 

 We also use an interactive online platform that enables us to communicate with the parents and to keep parents abreast of what their child or children are learning.
