Program
Our Montessori Program
This is a child-centred program where we observe the individual and group needs of each child, and provide for those needs – their play is their work, and this is respected. Free choice of activities within the classroom, and free play time outside constitute the basis of our program. Within the basic Montessori program, there are:
- Individual and group activities;
- An abundance of manipulative materials (self-instructing, self-correcting);
- Activities to enhance creativity;
- Exercises and activities to foster growth in all areas of development;
- Social, emotional, intellectual, physical (sensorial, large and fine motor control and co-ordination).
Island Montessori gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia.
