Pre-primary children learning with Montessori apparatus

Pre-Primary & Daycare

Daycare, Nursery, Junior KG, and Senior KG grounded in the authentic Montessori principle to "follow the child", featuring Jolly Phonics and self-correcting sensorial apparatus.

FOLLOW THE CHILD

Where Toddlers Love School & The Process of Learning

JJ School Montessori works on the Montessori Philosophy whose basic principle is to “follow the child”. We understand the need of a child’s mind to open up and grow with analytical ability and logic. Our main goal is to foster and inculcate the process of holistic learning in children rather than forcing education on them.

We provide a fun learning environment to our toddlers that they can enjoy being themselves while learning and growing with joy. In our pre-school, children grow in a free environment where they learn to express themselves and find their unique talents in a warm, conducive, healthy and natural environment.

All items in the environment are scaled to the child’s size, including furniture, shelves, utensils, dish-ware, cleaning implements, and the Montessori materials themselves. There is no focal centre to the classroom; this reflects that the teacher is not the focus, but that all are one community together.

The 8 Core Montessori Learning Areas

Developmentally designed materials that engage the senses, build independence, and lay a joyful foundation for lifetime learning.

AREA 01

Sensorial Learning

Refining the 5 Senses & Geometry

Isolates qualities such as color, shape, texture, sound, size, taste, weight, and smell. Trains sensory discrimination, concentration, and prepares for solid geometry.

Sensory DiscriminationSolid Geometry PreparationTactile Self-Correction
AREA 02

Practical Life Exercises

Independence & Fine Motor Skills

Instills independence through dressing, buttoning, zipping, pouring, and polishing. Builds task sequencing, concentration, and the exact eye-hand muscles needed for writing.

Self-Reliance & DressingWriting Muscle CoordinationTask Sequencing & Focus
AREA 03

Movement & Coordination

Self-Motion & Spatial Awareness

Self-motion is essential to learning and perception. Walking the continuously curving line, carrying apparatus, and spatial balance develop 3D motor control and physical poise.

AREA 04

Language & Jolly Phonics

Explosion into Reading & Writing

Capitalizes on sensitive language periods. Movable alphabet and Jolly Phonics lead to descriptive speech, social courtesy, and the celebrated natural explosion into reading.

Jolly Phonics Early LiteracyMovable Alphabet MasteryRich Descriptive Vocabulary
AREA 05

Geography & Culture

Global Respect & World Habitats

Tactile globes, continent puzzle maps, flags, flora, fauna, and world cultures instill early global awareness, geographical understanding, and deep respect for all life.

AREA 06

Concrete Mathematics

Tangible Operations Before Abstraction

Math is taught through concrete manipulation before abstraction. Children tangibly experience arithmetic operations (addition, multiplication, subtraction, division) and binomial models.

AREA 07

Music, Dance & Art

Creative & Cultural Expression

Tone bells, Manipuri classical dance, vocal music, painting, pottery, and wood carving are woven across daily work to enhance cultural exploration and creative expression.

AREA 08

Science (Botany & Zoology)

Appreciation of the Natural World

Hands-on experiments in Botany (plant life, seed growth, flora care) and Zoology (animals, habitats, eco-systems) cultivate lifelong scientific inquiry and love for nature.
