5 Areas of Montessori

Montessori curriculum offers freedom of movement and freedom of choice. Materials are self-correcting allowing the child be in control of their own learning. Materials provide each child with the vocabulary needed to start out life with. The montessori environment is the building block and the materials are the tools. The Montessori curriculum comprises of five groups.

Aister / Siolta

Siolta’s standards and principles, and Aistear’s National Curriculum framework guides our practice. Through Positive relationships, two way communications and consultation with parents, family, other professionals we aim to ensure each child is provided the best possible support and opportunity to reach they full potential.

Mixed Age Groups

Our Montessori approach to education supports and encourages mixed age grouping of children. This allows siblings to be with each other and younger children to learn from older children. It promotes empathy, social and emotional development. Each child develops at their own pace without feeling they are under/over achieving in relation to peers.
