Benefits of early childhood education revealed

Being afraid that the child is too little and too weak, and teachers might not be able to handle the child well enough, many parents decide to take care of their children at home instead of sending them to the preschool. But don’t you know, 15 months is considered “the golden age” for children to establish their personality and social communication. Therefore, sending young children to nursery school yields some significant benefits:

1. Children are educated formally from an early age: With the Montessori program of international standards, the learning pathway for each child is individualized based on their developmental needs and characteristics. According to that, each child will have his or her own pathway, and s/he will intensively care for optimum growth and development.

2. Independence is established: Children are encouraged to do what they can, from putting on/taking off their shoes, putting away backpacks, hanging their coats, to getting their own food for lunch; they are also given a wide range of Practice Life tasks along with various extracurricular activities. The teacher acts as a “guide” observing and supporting when needed and helping children do things themselves.

3. Active communication and interaction with friends and teachers: Each multi-aged classroom at Sakura Montessori resembles a small society with various interesting learning activities. Here, children have the chance to experience different roles to practice their teamwork, cooperation, responsibility, and discipline.

4. Children’s desire for exploration is encouraged with a wide range of activities such as field trips, theme-based learning projects, extracurricular activities.
