Mission Statement
“Education As An Aid To Life”. We help your child master the fundamental life skills which are essential in aiding him/her to become a confident, knowledgeable and independent individual.
At Art of Life Nursery and Montessori School, our steadfast belief in the benefits of a Montessori education forms the basis of our school's mission. We are dedicated to preparing our students in learning and coping successfully with life's fundamental skills. We provide a developmentally appropriate and intellectually stimulating programme, which is implemented in an enriched environment that is enjoyable, safe and nurturing.
Our philosophy at Art of Life Nursery and Montessori School is based upon the belief that each child is unique. The child's individuality is demonstrated by the pace through which he/she masters the sequential stages of development.
We believe that each child has different strengths and needs. We implement individual programme plans to assist children with their personal objectives and encourage the success in their areas of strength.
3. are more at ease if allowed to learn at their own pace
4. need as much freedom as the environment can permit
5.respond more readily to positive suggestions and statements rather than commands
6.need to know what behaviour is not allowed because it is unsafe or harmful to themselves or others
7.need to know what limits exist in the use of equipment and materials
8.need to know that you are there to help them in stressful times and encourage them and support them in new situations.
Since the children in our school range in age from 6 months to 6 years, we have a wide spectrum of abilities. Each child needs to be seen as an individual who is learning at his/her own pace and who is deeply involved in finding out about himself/herself and his/her place in the world.
Although we cannot expect all children to be developing at the same rate in any particular area, we have set down some guidelines which help us in working with the children in our school.
1.Encourage the child to contemplate and problem solve for himself/herself, even if may seem that it is a little difficult for him/her or it would be easier for you to do it for him/her. This will enable the child to feel a sense of accomplishment and give the child a feeling of independence.
2.Support the child in his/her efforts to do something and help him/her avoid too many frustrating situations by encouraging the child to play in areas where he/she can succeed and by guiding the child through an activity when he/she seems to be getting discouraged.
3.When something is happening that you know is not best for all concerned, try to direct the child's (children's) energies into some activity which is more appropriate.
4.Children seem less threatened and can relate to us, as adults, if we stoop down and meet them at their eye level when assisting or listening to them.
5.Children enjoy relating funny experiences with teachers and like us to laugh with them when humorous things happened.
6.Children seem to respond better and more quickly to our directions and suggestions if we speak clearly to them, using as few words as possible.
7.In helping the child to know what we want of him/her, it seems best to ignore small inappropriate things (e.g., swearing) and to offer help and praise, rather than disapproval, where possible.
