In the preschool class, children learn in very small groups with a low child-to-adult ratio of six-to-one. Activities for children of this age group are often focused on language, movement, and functional independence. Children who are enrolled in the full-day or extended-day program take a nap in the classroom after lunch. A nap report is posted outside of the classroom door to inform parents and guardians about how long their children have rested each day.
The kindergarten environment places children in a larger, more stimulating setting that meets their more advanced needs. At this age, children are improving their concentration and cognitive skills and sharpening their problem-solving abilities. Activities for this age range can be divided into specialized categories, which include language (Chinese, English, and/or Japanese), mathematics, geography, science, arts and crafts, and field trips.
In the future, we hope to have three different levels: infant, primary, and elementary. Because we are a new school, however, we currently offer the full-day day Montessori program only for preschool and kindergarten levels.
