We are currently gathering together all the data that has been sourced from stakeholders, ready to share our findings and dreams for the future with everyone in our community. While we prepare the final document, work is already underway to secure an even brighter future for Forestville Montessori School.
Our rooms are set up to provide your child with a connection between their home life and school, giving them the chance to practice activities they have likely seen you do many times before – such as sweeping a floor or watering plants. These activities help the child learn to care for themselves and others leading to responsibility, self-respect, respect for others, and the environment.
The classroom's sensorial area appeals to the child's five senses, stimulating them to explore the environment using their senses to develop discrimination, order, refinement of movement, and concentration. Tracing a sandpaper letter m with a finger, a child sounds out the symbol m and feels it! Later, their muscles will remember the tracing motion as they write the letter. These and other materials allow for repetition and control of error. Sensorial materials form the basis for mathematics, language, and the arts.
