At ANC-MMI Pre Schools, our programme objective is to develop characteristics in a child that will enable her to thrive in the future cosmopolitan world. That includes developing a child into a divergent thinker who can adapt and assimilate into cultural diversity, an independent thinker who has love for learning and an individual who has good characteristics and embraces social grace and courtesy, fulfilling the need of a holistic education. Our philosophy is that all children want to learn. With the freedom to investigate the world around them, they will become active learners. Children have the freedom (within limit) to choose their own activities. With this freedom of choice, children become enthusiastic learners and this will also aid them develop self-discipline.

We also understand that each child is unique and develops at his/her own pace through development stages and different learning styles. Our environment is child-centered. Lessons will be given on individual basis or in a small group. Children will progress at their own pace. Children develop best in a caring environment where they are allowed to express themselves and where learning experiences are part of their world. Our programme is designed to meet children’s need for self-construction. Our environment is responsive to the continually changing needs of your growing child. Expression is encouraged through art and craft, speech and drama, music and movement etc.

Also a positive self-concept is the foundation for learning and success. Your child self-esteem is central to our education. We believe in helping children to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.

Our programmes consists into the following categories

1.   Montessori Programme

2.   In-house developed programmes e.g. Passport to the World

3.   Enrichment programmes e.g. Art and Craft, Speech and Drama

4.   Physical development programme such as playground activities, swimming

5.   Outings and events such as field trip, annual concert, birthday and festive celebrations

Our Montessori classrooms are equipped with Montessori materials for the 5 areas of Montessori education i.e. Practical Life, Sensorial Education, Mathematics, Language and Cultural Subjects

Montessori Practical Life

The practical life exercises provide a wholesome range of activities that allow your child to develop control and coordination of movement, awareness of his/her environment, good work habits, responsibility, concentration, attention, independence, order and a positive self-image through spontaneous and purposeful work.

Montessori Sensorial Education

Sensorial exercises help prepare for intellectual development in an orderly manner. Sensorial materials introduce the concept of colour, weight, shape, size, sound and smell in an enjoyable way. It lays the foundation for the understanding of the world.

Montessori Mathematics

The Montessori curriculum is firmly based on learning through experience. Our children are exposed to the world of Numbers and Arithmetic through the Montessori hands-on Mathematics materials. Children are led to understand numbers, basic operations and gradually they are moved towards an abstract understanding of concepts such as Geometry and fraction.

Montessori Language

The Montessori language programme is phonetic based approach to reading. The development of language pervades the whole classroom as children shared their discoveries, learn new songs, listen to stories and work with a variety of Montessori language material to learn to read and write.

Montessori Cultural Subjects

The cultural area introduces the child to the world beyond the classrooms. Nature and global awareness is taught in the classroom through the use of globes, land forms, puzzles and the study of animals. Simple experiences on Zoology, Botany, Geography and History are presented to the child at an age appropriate level.

Our programme is delivered by our Montessori Directresses who are MMI qualified and supported by Subject Specialists such as language, music, art and craft, etc. Our dedicated team of teaching staff work with your child to ensure his/her optimal development.
