Cultural Day
Todd2Teen Montessori School welcomes children from the age of 2 to the warm and caring environment of their kindergarten. Coming from many different nationalities and backgrounds, much emphasis is placed on language learning. In addition, by the time they go to Nursery 1, students will be confident in counting, recognizing all of the English letters and their sounds, and beginning to read phonics-based books.
Kindergarten is the ideal place for young children to develop social skills as well as be prepared academically for primary school.
A typical day in Kindergarten 1 is as follows:
- Free Activities <> The start of the day is used as time for free activities, where children can socialize, verbalize and interact with each other.
It is also a time when the children can play with natural materials (i.e. sand, water) have creative activities.
