Student Well-being at The River House Kindergarten!

 Grace and Courtesy

Simply put, grace and courtesy are all about helping children to understand polite social norms. As a Montessori school, we understand that even very young children are capable of much more than is traditionally expected of them. At The River House Kindergarten, children are introduced to social skills (as part of their practical life activities) they will use throughout their lives, for example, saying “please” and “thank you,” interrupting conversations politely, requesting rather than demanding assistance, and greeting guests warmly.

Napping

At The River House Kindergarten, we understand that naptime is an important part of the day and an exercise in practical life experiences. It allows children a time to recharge and process the experiences of the day. This restful period also prevents the child from becoming overly worn-out.

Children are not forced to sleep during this time. They help set up their sleep area and are encouraged to rest quietly here. They can fall asleep if they want to. If they are done resting, they are free to choose a quiet activity that will not disturb the other children who are still resting.

Toilet Learning

What makes Montessori toilet learning different is that it follows the development of the child and is respectful of each child. Montessori teachers are able to recognize signs of toilet readiness that most children exhibit. There are many steps we are trained to take before and after your child starts to show these signs. The children are gently encouraged and guided on this journey to independence in the River House Kindergarten. It is gradual and at the child’s pace.

Method of teaching children to become familiar with the Alphabet

  How a Montessori kindergarten teaches children the Alphabet The Montessori method – a way to help children get familiar with the Alphabet. Children learn to read and write unconsciously. By holding toys, children learn how to hold a pen. And children learn to write from a doodle on paper. Also, by listening to the first sounds of words, your child will learn how sounds combine to form a word. With the Montessori method, children learn to read and write in a very natural way. They can study on their own time budget, without any constraints. Movable Alphabet As Dr. Maria Montessori once said: “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” ” What the hand does, the mind remembers.” It is quite common in the Montessori teaching method when children begin to learn from the most concrete things and gradually move to more abstract concepts.

  Sensitive Periods and the role of the Montessori method for children from 0 to 6 years. Sensitive Periods and the role of the Montessori method for children from 0 to 6 years. The Sensitive Periods, a phenomenon occurring in young children worldwide have been studied by Montessori educators for over 100 years. Each sensitive period, first identified by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a particular kind of inner compulsion. These compulsions encourage young children in the community to explore objects and relationships. These are used for children to expose their full potential. Nevertheless, the Montessori experience suggests that if we provide children with three conditions, they can achieve more development in their unique capabilities. The three conditions are: Firstly, we, adults, need to understand children's development and their sensitive periods. Secondly, a qualified and fully equipped classroom that can satisfy children during their sensitive periods. Thirdly is a well-trained ...
