76 November 2014 www.womanthismonth.com The Best Fit Established in 1997, The Children’s House is the first Montessori nursery school in Bahrain. Its exceptional approach motivates children to acquire intellectual, personal and social skills required to develop a confident, competent and compassionate learner for life. Maria Montessori pioneered the Montessori Method of Education (MME) early last century by combining a philosophy with a practical approach based on the idea of freedom and independence for the child within a structured environment. This method takes into consideration the child’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social abilities, and develops these in a specially prepared environment. A unique feature of MME is the emphasis given to sensorial experiences, developing the five senses and providing a solid foundation for speech, writing and arithmetic. “It is recognised that children want to learn; it is vital that they are taught how to learn. Through the Montessori Method, children gain this ability; thus creating a solid base on which they can build for their future learning,” says Kim Ferreira, principal at The Children’s House. “We want to help your child become a balanced, well-mannered and confident individual. We believe the Montessori education system will give a flying start at their next school and for life.” The Children’s House is a unique feature of the ‘prepared environment’; every object in the classroom has a specific place and purpose. Although the curriculum is structured, each child moves through it at his or her pace. The children are free to choose activities which capture their interest. New activities are introduced as each child is ready for them. The Children’s House believes that children who are encouraged to ask questions become independent thinkers, innovative leaders and lifelong learners. The Montessori Method Finding the school that is the best fit for your child and your family can be stressful and overwhelming. Here’s a checklist for you to understand why you should consider Montessori at The Children’s House: • Do you want your child to love to go to school? • Do you want your child to develop a relationship with his or her teacher that is collaborative, strong and long-term? • Do you want your child’s innate curiosity, imagination and naturally inventive and exploratory instincts to bloom and flourish at her own pace? • Do you want an environment that acknowledges the differences in your child’s personality and rate of learning? • Do you want your child in a nurturing environment based on mutual respect, empowerment and self-reliance? If your answer to one or all of these questions is ‘yes’, know that your child will experience all of these at The Children’s House, the flagship of Montessori education in Bahrain.
