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 !

The Montessori way has a systematic way of teaching the children to be able to read independently.

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.

And the best of it all, the children get to eat what they make at the end of the lesson!
