Hoppers Crossing, VIC – Each child is special and unique, and develops without pre-determined rules, requiring individual educational materials and guidance that promote their strengths. Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre believes in personal growth and offers necessary tools in a home-like environment using Montessori principles and philosophies. The advanced kindergarten program blends the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Montessori curriculum to meet the demands of Dr Maria Montessori’s educational method of spontaneous learning to encourage independent/critical thinking.
The child care centre recognises each child’s potential for learning, and its Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) trained director and educators plan and implement programs that develop a whole child. They have many years of experience in early childhood to cater to children aged 6 weeks to preschool years. Their classrooms have real-life materials accessible to children at all times to give them the liberty to follow their natural flows towards communication, independence, order, exploration, imagination, repetition, and cooperation. The external learning environment has diverse and tactile nature-based play spaces to support the centre’s learning programs.
Unlike traditional classrooms, Montessori programs fit the specific needs of each child’s development stage, allowing them to absorb knowledge, have enduring intellectual capabilities, and continue the part of self-construction. Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre has four main areas in the preschool program to bring the world to a child through songs, globes/maps, landforms, picture collections, and many more. The practical life program comprises everyday activities to give a child a sense of self-care, grace, courtesy, the environment, and moving objects. Children acquire concentration, develop order, improve fine motor coordination, respect the community around them, and take pride in a job well done.
While reading and writing begin in practical life, developing left-to-right movement starts in the language program, where a child distinguishes the sounds that make up language. The educators speak the alphabet symbols to the child and use sandpaper letters to help them reproduce their words, phrases, sentences, and stories. Sensorial materials for the Child Care Centre in Hoppers Crossing allow children to perceive distinctions between similar and different things. The exercises cover sizes, shapes, composition, temperature, textures, weight, loudness/softness, matching, and many more so they can grade a set of similar objects from most to least.
Through cultural arts, a child understands a range of subjects as extensions to sensorial and language programs. The educators use storytelling and visual materials to depict the animal world and natural environment, extending a child’s geography, science, art, and history. The program enables a child to respect and appreciate their culture and those of others, instilling tolerance and empathy. Additionally, the educators use distance, identity, dimension, sequence, graduation, and similarity to introduce functions, numbers, and other mathematical ideas. With concrete material, a child learns geometry, algebra, and arithmetic easily to divide, add, multiply, and subtract. Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre is a digital facility with high-standard meals and late opening hours for safety, health, convenience, and security.
