The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.
— Maria Montessori
Why MLC Kindergarten
Choosing an environment in which children spend a greater part of their day is one of the most important decisions made by parents. At MLC Kindergarten we recognise that each child is a unique individual that deserves a safe and loving setting fulfilling each of their growing needs – physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. We maintain a strict age-based ratio of adult to child to ensure your growing child receives all the individual attention required for their best possible development within our care.
Through structured freedom we facilitate development and refinement of various skills that enable them to be the best possible version of themselves! We thrive on the happiness and all rounded progress of each member of the MLC family and aim to provide a foundation for balanced, humble and mindful beings that are equipped to positively contribute to our changing world every day.
Our Curriculum
The Montessori curriculum was passionately created by Dr Maria Montessori with each child’s best interest at heart. She observed that no two children are the same, and might require different exposure to learn similar concepts. The Montessori curriculum is therefore tailor-used for every individual child to be able to learn in their own unique style at their own developmental pace.
Unique Environment
Montessori focuses on the importance of a carefully prepared environment in which children are able to reach their maximum potential – broadening their capabilities with each passing day. The key elements that are maintained in our prepared environment are
- Montessori Materials
- Reality & Nature
- Freedom
- Order
- Beauty & Atmosphere
- Community Life
Passionate Teachers
One of the concepts in Montessori philosophy that is emphasised on greatly is the role of a teacher. We take pride in each of our qualified, handpicked members of teaching staff. Each teacher and assistant teacher upholds the high standards of leadership and mentoring skills necessary to maintain the quality of holistic education provided at MLC. We appreciate and celebrate the diversity of personalities, strengths and cultures that each member brings to our institution.
We consistently invest in the personal growth of our teachers and assistants to ensure our environment remains positive and professional year round.
Our teachers are trained to observe and facilitate all that is necessary for the development of every child – allowing children to be themselves under the guidance and care of a loving adult.
