Nurturing Lifelong Learners: Your Child's Montessori Journey Begins Here
At Nurture Childcare, we provide an exclusive Montessori environment for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. We integrate a nurturing atmosphere with a rigorous educational foundation to stimulate curiosity and foster independence.
Our unique, child-centric approach cultivates a profound love for learning.
Situated steps from the University Hospital, our Montessori nursery cultivates a love for learning in children under 6. We blend intellectual growth, physical development through weekly swimming lessons, and convenience for parents, creating a unique childcare solution that shapes confident, curious, and independent lifelong learners.
The Montessori Curriculum
Montessori education is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. View the key areas below.
Areas of the Montessori Curriculum
These areas provide a comprehensive, holistic approach to education that encourages children to learn independently and at their own pace. They are designed to spark curiosity and a love for learning in a supportive and prepared environment.
Cultural Studies
This area of study encompasses a wide range of topics, including geography, history, biology, botany, zoology, art, and music. In a Montessori environment, these subjects are not taught in isolation, but are interwoven to provide a comprehensive understanding of the world.
Science
Practical and hands-on experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology, along with nature studies and gardening, form the basis of the Montessori science curriculum.
Peace Education
Montessori curriculum also emphasizes the importance of peace education. This is incorporated by teaching children about respect for others, conflict resolution, community-building skills, and fostering an understanding and appreciation of diversity.
Physical Education
Physical activity is integral to the Montessori method. This can range from fine motor skill development to outdoor play and more formal physical education.
Practical Life
This is often the first area a child is introduced to in a Montessori environment. It includes tasks that are familiar to the child (such as washing hands or setting a table), which help to develop motor control, coordination, concentration, independence, and a sense of order.
Sensorial
These activities are designed to help the child refine their senses and understand the world around them. They include materials that help children differentiate size, shape, color, sound, texture, and weight.
Mathematics
The Montessori math curriculum is very hands-on, using concrete materials to introduce concepts of number, symbol, sequence, operations, and memorization of key facts.
Language Arts
This area includes oral language development, written expression, reading, the study of grammar, creative dramatics, and children's literature. Early writing skills are cultivated through manipulating letters while early reading skills are developed through phonetic recognition.
