Children learn better and more naturally through direct experience with the environment than through formal textbook-based lessons.
Montessori & Malaysian National Curricula
We focus on promoting the growth of the child in all areas of development – Physical, Social, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual (character building/ moral education). Therefore, the curriculum’s focal point is to develop a whole child. Tadika Tunas Didik has adopted Montessori method of preschool education alongside with the Malaysian National Curriculum.
The children are exposed to the 5 aspects of Montessori curriculum: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Languages (English, Malay, Mandarin) and Cultural (Science, History and Geography).
At the same time, children are coached using the local framework of the national curriculum. As both Montessori and the National Curricula are offered, teachers use the strength from both to enhance learning. Hence, children not only receive knowledge at text level, they are further encouraged to think critically and apply their learning to the real world.
The teaching methods and contents from both systems are merged to motivate children to learn and to encourage their achievement so as to prepare them for the next step of their education.
The Greatest Gifts We Can Give Our Children Are The Roots Of Responsibility And The Wings Of Independence. – Maria Montessori
Children are encouraged to develop independently into a well-rounded individual.
