English language development
 

To have another language is to possess a second soul.”

The lessons give great opportunity to focus on English language development. Native speakers can enrich their growing vocabulary and non- native children can get acquainted with the rhythm and the intonation of the language.

Here are some of the benefits of learning a second or even a third language at an early age. Children have the most to gain from this wonderful adventure. Quite simply, starting early offers the widest possible set of benefits and opportunities. The joy with which children explore their first language makes childhood the ideal time for a second language

The role of the parent during the lessons

- Support your child's individual development.
- Follow your child's own interest.
- Give help to your child to do the tasks by herself/ himself.
- Never correct your child while he or she is playing with a toy
( unless it is inapproproate or dangerous e.g. throwing).
- It is the material that teaches your child.
- BE A QUIET OBSERVER OF YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT.

Leaving your child in the care of the teachers

- We would like to model a regular Montessori classroom environment where children work peacefully on their own.
- We would like children to feel safe and secure in this environment without their parents being present.
-  It takes time to get used to a new environment and to be around new people. It is a very slow process. Please, allow sufficient time to your child and to yourself to go through this phase.
