At GVM, we believe in helping children learn and grow through fun and meaningful activities right from the start. Our preliminary activities are designed to introduce young learners to important skills and ideas in a way that feels natural and exciting.

‍

Preliminary activities in Montessori education are the first steps in a child's journey of discovery and learning. These activities are designed to:

• Develop Independence: Children learn to complete tasks independently, such as putting on their shoes, pouring water, or setting the table, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-reliance.
• Refine Motor Skills: Activities like using small tongs to transfer objects, threading beads, or pouring rice help children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
• Build Concentration: Through activities that capture their interest and engage their senses, children learn to focus their attention for sustained periods, laying the groundwork for future learning.
• Introduce Order: Montessori environments are carefully organized to help children understand and appreciate order in their surroundings, from arranging materials on shelves to following routines

‍

Preliminary Activities we do at GVM:

• ‍Practical Life Exercises: Children engage in everyday tasks such as sweeping, washing dishes, and folding clothes, promoting independence and care for the environment.
• ‍Sensorial Exploration: Activities with sensorial materials, such as sorting by color or size, matching shapes, or exploring textures, stimulate sensory awareness and cognitive development.
• ‍Language Development: Introduction to phonetic sounds, vocabulary enrichment through storytelling and conversations, and early writing activities pave the way for language proficiency.
• ‍Mathematical Concepts: Through hands-on materials like number rods, counters, and bead bars, children begin to understand basic mathematical concepts such as counting, sequencing, and simple arithmetic.

‍

Our preliminary activities are all about helping children enjoy learning and discover new things. By doing fun activities that fit with how kids learn best, we help them grow smarter, more confident, and ready for school.
