Building Character Through Inquiry-Based Learning At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we believe that character development is just as important as academic success. We understand that children need more than just knowledge and skills to thrive in the real world. That's why we have created a learning environment that fosters children's physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and moral capacities. Our unique approach combines Finnish education from Helsinki University with a Montessori syllabus, allowing us to seamlessly integrate play and inquiry-based learning into our curriculum. Through games and hands-on activities, we encourage children to explore, question, and think critically. This approach not only prepares them to tackle real-world problems with enthusiasm and creativity but also helps them develop valuable communication, motor, and problem-solving skills. One of the key benefits of inquiry-based learning is that it promotes curiosity and a love for learning. By encouraging children to ask questions and seek answers, we empower them to take ownership of their education. This not only enhances their intellectual development but also fosters a growth mindset and a lifelong love for learning. Inquiry-based learning also promotes important social and emotional skills. By working collaboratively in groups, children learn to navigate the complexities of the real world and develop important social skills such as communication, teamwork, and empathy. They also learn to manage their emotions, solve conflicts, and develop resilience. At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we believe that character development goes hand in hand with academic success. Our teachers, who hold Ph.D. and master's degrees in education, have a deep understanding of children and are skilled at engaging and guiding them effectively. They are committed to nurturing each child's unique strengths and empowering them to express themselves confidently. We also prioritize effective communication between parents and teachers, ensuring active parental involvement in their child's education. We believe that parents play a crucial role in shaping their child's character and values, and we strive to create a strong partnership with parents to support their child's holistic development. In addition to our inquiry-based learning approach, we offer an exclusive STEM program, monthly themed events, and opportunities for children to shape their own lessons. We also recognize the importance of preserving students' mother tongues and offer Mandarin and Malay classes to prepare them for primary school. Our curriculum, which includes English, math, and science, serves as a bridge, ensuring a seamless transition to primary school. At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we provide a holistic and continuous educational pathway for our students. In addition to our preschool, we offer an after-school program, holiday program, and tuition classes spanning primary, secondary, and A-levels. This allows us to support our students throughout their educational journey and further enhance their skills and knowledge. We invite you to visit our website to learn more about our unique educational experience, our qualified teachers, and the additional programs we offer. We are committed to building character through inquiry-based learning and preparing children for a successful future. Join us at Tiny Treasure Montessori and watch your child thrive!
