Question 1

What do you mean by 'Integrated'?

Accepted Answer

At Kids Company we believe in the best of both worlds which is why we have chosen to integrate the two methodologies. In the child's day they have a portion of their day assigned to a Montessori work cycle and another portion of their day assigned to group work prepared and delivered by the class teacher. Our classes are of mixed ages. This unique integration is what ensures that the children in our care are fully prepared for the demands of future schooling.

Question 2

Is Montessori for all children?

Accepted Answer

Montessori education can benefit children of all backgrounds and abilities. The individualised approach allows each child to learn at their own pace, and the emphasis on hands-on learning and self-directed exploration can help children develop a love for learning.

Question 3

What happens 'after' Montessori?

Accepted Answer

Children who attend Montessori schools are well-prepared for traditional educational settings. They often exhibit strong problem-solving skills, independence, and a deep understanding of abstract concepts. Many Montessori students excel in their future academic pursuits.

Question 4

How does a Montessori classroom work?

Accepted Answer

Our classrooms are designed to foster independence and self-directed learning. Children have the freedom to choose activities from a carefully prepared environment, which includes hands-on materials that promote exploration and discovery. Teachers act as guides, observing and supporting each child's individual learning process.

Question 5

Is Montessori Unstructured?

Accepted Answer

While Montessori classrooms may appear unstructured to an untrained eye, they are actually highly organised and purposeful. The prepared environment and the use of specific materials provide a structure that allows children to develop concentration, self-discipline, and a sense of order.

Question 6

Why mixed age groups?

Accepted Answer

Mixed age groups in Montessori classrooms promote social development and collaborative learning. Younger children learn from observing and interacting with older peers, while older children reinforce their knowledge by teaching and mentoring younger classmates. This arrangement fosters a sense of community and respect.
