Redwood Montessori Nursery - Khalifa City A



At Redwood, they believe that children are capable of learning more in the first five years of their life than at any other time.

 

Unless children are offered the opportunity to learn during this period, they will never reach their full potential.

At Redwood, they aim to provide that opportunity by offering children the chance to develop in a cutting-edge, yet nurturing environment and learn from an innovative curriculum.

Redwood Nursery School follows the Montessori learning method, founded by Dr. Maria Montessori and is part of the Kids First Group.

The Montessori Method provides a pleasant environment with carefully devised materials that meet the child’s natural needs and of course, nurture his or her absorbent mind. The Montessori teaching method is a sensible balance between freedom and structure specifically designed for a young child in a nursery or school environment.

Montessori is used in many nursery schools around the world and provides a unique and stimulating educational experience for young learners. It enables the child to develop self-confidence, security, a sense of order and social relationships, creative intelligence and imagination. It also sharpens the ability to discriminate, make judgments and build up a child’s concentration span.

Dr. Maria Montessori developed a method of nursery education in Italy, which has spread across the globe. Children pass through sensitive periods of development early in life. Dr. Montessori described the child’s mind between the time of birth and six years of age as the “absorbent mind”. It is during this stage that children have a tremendous ability to learn and assimilate from the world around them, without conscious effort. During this time, children are particularly receptive to certain external stimuli.

A Montessori teacher recognizes and takes advantage of these highly perceptive stages through the introduction of materials and activities, which are specially designed to stimulate the intellect and feed the child with the necessary information needed for further development.

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed – Dr. Maria Montessori

The secret of the Montessori Method is to identify what stage each individual child has reached and introduce activities to suit that stage. It gives children the opportunity to discover the environment at their own individual pace. In each Montessori activity the steps are carefully graded and done in such small increments that they lead, in a very short time, from the very simple to what, to many people, seem extremely complex concepts for children. It is by no means unusual for a four year old child in a Montessori nursery to be reading books, competent at addition and subtraction, as well as being able to dress and undress him or herself, prepare a snack and wash their plate and cup up afterwards.
