In Pursuit of Excellence...

At Salwan Montessori School, we are dedicated to fostering the overall development of each child through engaging learning experiences both in school and at home. Children are encouraged to learn at their own pace in a nurturing environment, where they have ample opportunities to explore, experiment, and learn through hands-on activities. Their creativity is nurtured through a wide range of carefully designed activities, supported by a dedicated team of teachers who are wholeheartedly committed to shaping the children’s future.

Early Childhood Education : Early childhood is considered a critical period in human development. During this phase, children require a stimulating and enriching environment to thrive. The Montessori section of our school is committed to fostering sensitivity, integrity, pride, and a pursuit of excellence among its students while instilling a love for learning.

Our approach emphasizes the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs to build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and well-being. By integrating life skills and well-being practices into education, we support children’s mental health both now and in the future.

These life skills include happiness, resilience, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, effective communication, relationship-building, self-management, and empathy. Through these, children grow into well-rounded, mentally strong, and resilient young adults.

Instilling life skills and wellbeing skills in school support mental wellbeing in children now and in the future. They instill life skills such as happiness skills, strength skills, resolution skills, emotional skills, skills for being present, interaction skills, relationship skills, self-management skills as well as empathy skills at school. This way children grow up to be whole, mentally strong and resilient young adults.

Scholastic Programme

Language and Literacy: Language and literacy skills are vital during the preschool years as they form the foundation for all social interactions and play a significant role in children’s overall development. At our school, we enhance these skills through engaging activities such as storytelling, rhymes, role-play, drama, puppetry, and songs. Each classroom is equipped with a library containing over 350 books, encouraging children to develop a love for reading. Picture reading is actively promoted, and every Friday, children are given books to take home to foster their interest in reading.

Environmental Sensitivity: Children are sensitized to environmental and global issues through a variety of thoughtfully designed activities, fostering a sense of responsibility and awareness about the world around them.

Numeracy and Pre-number concepts:

Children enter school with varying levels of numeracy skills. To nurture and develop their early numeracy abilities, a range of activities focusing on pre-number and number concepts is conducted. These activities provide opportunities for children to explore, learn, and strengthen their foundational math skills.
