Guidelines for Parents

There are many ways in which you as a parent can help your child develop independence, concentration, willpower, motor control, self confidence and a sense of judgement.These principles are especially important when supporting your child’s Montessori learning journey.Learning can take place anywhere as it is a continuous process. In addition to the school, learning also takes place in the child’s first two environments – the home and the neighborhood.

Tips to enhance learning:

Love and respect your children.
Spend more time and communicate with them.
Help them participate in school activities and events.
Take stock of their skills and interests and provide ways to develop their skills and interests.
Comparing your child with others and their own siblings is not advisable.
Try to exhibit only positive emotions in front of them.
Establish a routine for meals, bedtime and study.
Allow them to do things on their own under guided supervision.
Study with the child as often as possible.

Help your child to:

Converse in English to enable and feel comfortable in the school environment.
Read short stories with values in clear and simple English.
Colour and scribble to refine fine-motor skills.

These simple practices complement the child-centred learning approach of Montessori education and help children build independence at home.

Remember, the child’s motto is “Let me do it myself”

Learning Through Play!

The advantage of being your child’s first teacher is that you know and understand your child better than anyone else.

Dear Parents,

The birth of your child is a very special and exciting time!

You want the best for your child and are eager to help them reach their full potential. Research on brain development suggests that experiences during the first three years of life have a major impact on your child.These early experiences also form an important foundation for early childhood education.

All children are special, with their own unique personality and abilities. Developing and guiding these abilities begins at an early age. Research shows that children who experience a variety of stimulating play activities have a greater chance for success in school and in life. Play helps children learn new skills, build confidence and develop healthy relationships. Together, you and your child will discover many exciting ways to “Learn Through Play”.

Each area is equally important and plays a significant role in a child’s total capacity to learn. In teaching, it is important to remember that every child is different from every other child.This individualised, child-centred approach is an important part of the learning philosophy described in these Montessori guidelines. Teaching skills doesn’t require a rigid schedule or a large block of time. In fact, readiness skills are best taught in small doses, with repetition overtime and without pressure.

The goal is not to speed up development, but to ensure that each child has the best possible opportunity to learn and grow at each level of development.

Opening the door to learning:
The early years are a wonderful time; a special time for parents and children.
We at Heartfulness International School, Omega Branch adopt a Montessori-informed curriculum and learning approach that sets the child on a path of inquiry, observation and understanding.
