At iKids Montessori Academy, we strive to deliver unique and stimulating learning experiences that enhance our students’ physical, mental, creative and intellectual development. We provide the daycare service and early childhood education in Markham and Richmond Hill. Our program follows the Montessori philosophy and play-based learning model.
Many may ask, what exactly is the Montessori philosophy and how does it work?
The Montessori methodology was introduced by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Italy. Through research and development, Dr. Montessori came up with this model to meet the progressive needs of developing children. This education model is children-centred and is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
In a Montessori classroom, students have the freedom to be creative and independent. Children are given the opportunity to make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Students in Montessori classrooms tend to work in groups and individually to discover and explore the knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potential.
Given the freedom and support to question and be creative, Montessori students tend to grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners. They can think more critically when compared to their counterparts. These students are also able to work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity.
If you would like your kid to attend a Montessori classroom or you're looking for daycare service in Markham or Richmond Hill area, please contact us, we would love to chat more with you about our curriculums and different programs.
