Preparing Children for Primary School

Preparing Children for Primary School Transitioning from preschool to primary school is a significant milestone in a child's life. At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we understand the importance of preparing children for this transition and ensuring that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in primary school. Here are some key aspects of our program that focus on preparing children for primary school: Language Development: We believe that strong language skills are essential for effective communication and academic success. That's why we offer Mandarin and Malay classes to preserve students' mother tongues and prepare them for primary school. By providing a solid foundation in these languages, children will be better equipped to communicate effectively in a multicultural society. Communication and Social Skills: In addition to language skills, we emphasize the development of communication and social skills. Through collaborative group work and hands-on activities, children learn how to express themselves effectively, work with others, and develop positive relationships. These skills are crucial for building friendships, participating in classroom discussions, and navigating social situations in primary school. Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Our curriculum is designed to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Through inquiry-based learning and engaging activities, children learn how to ask questions, think critically, and approach challenges with enthusiasm and creativity. These skills are essential for tackling real-world problems and adapting to the academic demands of primary school. Academic Foundation: We introduce English, math, and science in a fun and engaging way, laying a solid foundation for academic success. Our curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between preschool and primary school, ensuring that children have a smooth transition. By making learning enjoyable and interactive, we instill a love for learning and a curiosity that will serve them well in primary school and beyond. Character Development: At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we believe that character development is just as important as academic success. Our inquiry-based learning approach encourages children to develop a love for learning, ask questions, and think critically. We also prioritize cultural competence, exposing children to different cultures and perspectives to foster empathy and understanding. These values and qualities will shape their character and contribute to their overall success in primary school. Parental Involvement: We recognize that parents play a vital role in their child's education. That's why we actively encourage parental involvement and maintain open lines of communication. We provide regular updates on their child's progress and actively involve parents in their child's learning journey. By working together, we can ensure that children receive the support and guidance they need to succeed in primary school. At Tiny Treasure Montessori, we are committed to providing a unique educational experience that prepares children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Our comprehensive curriculum, emphasis on language development, communication and social skills, problem-solving and critical thinking, academic foundation, character development, and parental involvement all contribute to preparing children for primary school and beyond.
