Why you chose us?
At Oak Tree Montessori, we can provide your child with the best possible start to their educational journey with highly experience and dedicated teacher. Recognizing that the child leads the way, our role is to facilitate and nurture their innate curiosity and intellect.
As we embark on this educational journey together, here are several aspects you can expect from the Oak Tree Montessori approach.
Prepared Environment:
Our program is carefully designed with a deep understanding of how crucial the early years are for a child’s overall development. In our learning environment, equipped with Montessori materials covering all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, children engage in hands-on experiences. Our teachers serve as guides, providing seamless support across different learning areas.
A variety of topics will be presented to broaden the child’s interest whilst also creating the opportunity to practice individual skills. Children enjoy both structured activities with their teacher and the freedom to choose their own activities within our prepared environment.
Nurturing The Unique Child:
We embrace a child-centred approach, recognizing that every child progresses at their own pace, unlocking their full potential. Our curriculum encourages exploration and skill-building, fostering both intellectual and emotional growth while supporting each child’s individuality and inner wisdom. With the full support of our key teacher system, children benefit from personalized guidance and attention, ensuring a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
Fostering Independence:
We promote independence by allowing children to freely move between activities. We encourage them to explore independently, from simple to complex tasks, fostering multi-sensory learning and risk-taking. Our curriculum prepares children for writing, reading, and math while offering creative opportunities like painting and play. Activities also include singing, games, role play, and story time.
Empowerment through Vertical Grouping:
Experience our Montessori mixed-age classroom structure, Vertical Grouping, designed for interaction and engagement across ages. Older children serve as role models, while younger ones gain self-confidence and curiosity.
Cultivating a Culture of Respect:
Respect is ingrained in our culture – for teacher-child relationships, families, local communities, the natural environment, and global communities. Placing a child’s personal dignity at the core, we navigate interactions with respect through opportunities and challenges.
