Curriculum planning
|
|
We offer an emergent, project-based curriculum that combines the Montessori pedagogy with the Reggio-Emilia Approach. As educators, we are committed to providing our students with positive learning experiences where the environment plays a key role in stimulating discussions and ideas for learning themes. We recognise that each child is unique and capable of expressing their understanding and creativity in multiple ways. While the Montessori pedagogy enables children to have strong leadership and life skills, the Reggio-Emilia approach focuses on developing functional citizens of the world. Our child-led curriculum combines the best of both worlds; we believe that children thrive through positive relationships, meaningful play and hands-on experiences.
|
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
We base our work with children on two educational philosophies, Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Both of which are inherently child-centred and holistic in their approach. Montessori educators celebrate individuality and respect the child's innate capacity for learning. We follow the Montessori Method in highlighting five main areas of learning; Practical life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language and Cultural. The materials in our classrooms have been carefully selected to engage interest and cultivate mastery in these subjects.
Crucially, Maria Montessori emphasised the importance of mixed-age grouping as a tool for social development and peer-led learning. We have a dedicated classroom for toddlers but also create regular opportunities for children across ages to work together. Younger children benefit from being exposed to more advanced work. Older students demonstrate leadership and care toward others. Our classrooms have a free-flow quality and children can move between activities of their choosing.

|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
Mulberry Tree International Kindergarten follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is a framework used in the United Kingdom to assess children’s development. The EYFS appreciates that every child is a competent learner, they can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. It puts emphasis on positive relationships and enabling environments where children can learn and develop well. It also understands that children have individual needs and that they learn in different ways and rates.

|
School vision and mission
|
|
We recognise children as active learners with an immense capacity for problem solving and decision making. Our learning through play programme fosters your child’s instinct for enquiry and exploration of the world around them. We aim to nurture independence and cultivate curiosity, whilst developing confidence and social skills. A facilitator works in partnership with the children, helping to guide their interests and imagination. Unlike in a traditional school the unique environment we have carefully created plays a crucial role as a “ third teacher ”, providing much inspiration for learning.
