Montessori-Inspired

Our Values & Learning Environment

Education philosophies evolve over time and we like to keep our minds open for best practices. With that said, we draw a lot of inspiration from Montessori education and its focus on the child’s holistic needs. Our director and curriculum designer, Sue-Lynn, is certified by Montessori Centre International (MCI), London - one of the largest teacher training organizations in the world.

​

The Mandarin Schoolhouse Approach:

• Mixed-age classroom (where children learn from and teach each other).

• Hands-on learning and collaborative play.

• Focus on practical life activities: care of self, care for the environment, control of movement (fine-motor and gross-motor skills), grace, and courtesy.

• Activities that support Montessori’s philosophy in sensorial, math, literacy, geography, etc.
