Apart
from the Montessori curriculum, Brainy Child Montessori also offers
a range of enrichment courses as we believe that
children
should be widely exposed to different fields and subjects.
This
exposure is liken to laying of
different tracks and one
of it may take off - the child can be the next
Mozart or the
next Einstein, you never know !

hour, the teacher will do a presentation of the Montessori apparatus
appropriate to the developmental stage of the child and a craft.
Different areas will be focus in each
lesson - Language
(Phonics), Maths, Cultural & Sensorial. The
next half
hour is spent on story telling, music & movement. Suggestions
will
also be given to parents on activites they can do with their
children at home.
Montessori Workgroup
During
this 1.5 hour, the child will be exposed to the different areas of
Montessori - Language (Phonics), Maths, Cultural, Sensorial, Practical
Life. It aims to give the child a holistic education
by
exposing him to the different areas in Montessori learning. There will
also be story telling, music & movement time, art &
craft
activities included in the curriculum. Recommended for children
currently not already in a Montessori school. This is a unaccompanied
class.
Montessori Phonics
This
1 hour program builds up the child’s foundation in the sounds of the
alphabets and they learn to read by decoding. They are taught to apply
schwa rules and apply phonograms to read longer and complicated words.
After which, they are exposed to sentence making with the new words
learnt. The Montessori way has a systematic way of teaching the
children to be able to read independently.
Montessori Maths
This
1 hour program builds up the child's foundation in Maths.
Math
topics include numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, fractions, graphs, time & money. Teaching includes
using
Montessori concrete learning apparatus to help the child visualise and
understand the concepts.
Japanese for Kids
Children
are ready to learn any language they hear. This ability unfortunately
decreases with age, therefore the best time to learn a language is when
the child is very young. This program introduces
Japanese as
a third language. For children below 3 years old,
emphasis will be placed on listening,
understanding and speaking the language. For older
children, reading and writing Japanese will be
introduced.
Through this course, children will also have a better
understanding of the Japanese culture. The class is conducted by a
native Japanese teacher. The classes are to be accompanied by 1 adult
for the purpose of home practice.
Young Picasso
This
art and craft program develops creativity, aesthetic and art
appreciation. It provides opportunities for self-expression and
experimentation. It exposes children to different art forms– drawing,
painting, printing, crafts, collage.
Young Chef
Children
are given the opportunity to learn about maths (through measurement),
science (properties of the ingredients used) and culture
(different types of food and methods of cooking) through this
cookery program. Furthermore, they get to improve their fine motor
skills eg scooping, pouring, cutting, stirring through the process of
cooking. And the best of it all, the children get to eat what
they
make at the end of the lesson!
Young
Mozart
This program
is specially tailored to arouse children's interest in music, expose
them to different musical expressions and develop in them a sense of
rhythm. This is achieved using the keyboard and percussions. The focus
is primarily on building the child's musical ability to listen, sing,
play and enjoy music in a group setting.
Young
Shakespeare
This
speech and drama program helps children to acquire both confidence and
effective communication skills.Children engage in poetry recitation,
role-play, acting out and performing a story. Available both in English
and Mandarin.
