Practical Life

The Practical Life area teaches children self-help skills, care of their environment, coordination,
fine motor skills, attention span, and a sense of order. These activities are the foundation for
​future learning - especially reading, writing, and math.

Sensorial

Sensorial Materials help the children to use their senses to learn concepts of size, color, and shape, while improving eye and hand coordination. The child compares heights, weights, colors, sounds, smells, shapes, and textures. ​

Math

Math is presented using tangible objects which represent quantities. Children move at their own pace from these objects to symbols and functions. This process includes the introduction of numerals and association of quantity and symbol, sequencing, addition and subtraction, and the decimal system. ​

Language

Language includes written and oral expression. This is initiated using patterns, association, rhymes, and opposites, and progresses through vocabulary enrichment, control of pencil, recognition of letter shapes, names, and sounds. The child works at his/her own pace to build reading and writing skills. ​

Culture

Culture area provides a basic knowledge of culture, science, and geography, and builds
an awareness of the world in which we live.
