At Li’l Einsteins, the Montessori approach is more than a teaching method—it’s a philosophy. We aim to center the child in their own learning journey. Every aspect of our programming promotes hands-on learning, enhances social interaction, and nurtures independence while cultivating a genuine love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully designed with natural light and open spaces to create a beautiful, accessible environment where children direct their own learning. Using carefully crafted, hands-on materials, young learners explore complex concepts at their own pace, developing concentration, coordination, and academic skills through independent exploration.
Montessori classrooms group children of different ages together, promoting peer-to-peer learning and natural growth. This mixed-age setting encourages children to learn from and teach each other, fostering life skills like inclusion and acceptance.
Montessori education fosters confidence, independence, and creative freedom by encouraging self-directed learning. This approach helps children develop an entrepreneurial mindset, equipping them with strong self-management and independent thinking skills.
The Montessori approach builds a lifelong love for learning, encouraging curiosity about people and the world. Montessori students see learning as a joyful, ongoing journey, helping them connect with diverse ideas and individuals throughout their lives..
We are dedicated to providing children with an environment where they feel respected, supported, and motivated. The Montessori method aligns with our mission to nurture whole-child development, focusing not only on academics but also on social, emotional, and practical skills.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully divided into five key categories, each offering unique opportunities for growth and learning:
Practical Life
The Montessori curriculum incorporates exercises and activities that children experience in daily life. These activities help to build independence, concentration, and fine motor skills.
What this might look like:
Sensorial
Sensorial activities help kids engage their 5 senses to help them organize and understand their impressions of the world around them. Sensorial activities help teach similarity and difference, dimensions, colours, and shapes, and distinguish between smells, taste, and sound. These activities help prep children for future learning in math, language, and more by teaching them how to classify and sort.
What this might look like:
Math
The Math curriculum focuses on helping children learn abstract mathematical concepts and relationships through hands-on learning experiences. We teach how to count, identify, and match numbers to their quantity, relate decimal quantities and symbols, and help kids understand the functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
What this might look like:
Language
The Montessori Language Curriculum provides the knowledge and skills for kids to build their vocabulary and understanding of language. We use Montessori language materials to teach the fundamental skills needed for reading, writing and speech. Children learn letter sounds (phonics), letter identification and formation, how to combine sounds to make words, how to build simple sentences, and how to properly hold a pencil. Speech skills are developed through daily social interactions, group time experiences, and lessons in grace and courtesy.
What this might look like:
Culture
The Culture Curriculum covers a wide range of subjects, including Geography, Botany, Zoology, Science, History, Music, and Art. By exploring culture, children begin to understand their community, their world, and their social responsibilities. Children learn how to respond with respect, appreciate music and art, and develop awareness of sustainability.
