Description
Dr. Montessori passed a deep love for the world of nature on to thousands of children through a programme of outdoor education and gardening experiences.
We see this as the foundation of a lifelong interest in the sciences and want our children to be fascinated by the universe and to honestly enjoy the process of discovering its secrets and interrelationships. We want them to observe, analyse, measure, classify, experiment, and predict and to do so with a sense of eager curiosity and wonder. Science is an integral element of our curriculum. Among other things, it represents a way of life: a clear thinking approach to gathering information and problem solving. Our programme is designed to cultivate our children's curiosity and determination to discover the truth for themselves. We teach them how scientists go about their work. They learn how to observe patiently, analyse, and work at each problem. They eagerly engage in field trips and experiments, and respond with delight to the precision of measurement, gathering data, classification, and prediction. With encouragement and a solid foundation, even very young children are ready and anxious to investigate their world, to wonder at the inter-dependence of living things, to explore the ways in which the physical universe works, and to project how it all may have come to be. The scope of our science curriculum includes a sound introduction to botany, zoology, ecology, chemistry, physics, geology, and astronomy.
The Montessori Stepping Stones is nestled within an ideal laboratory for first-hand nature study. Our children visit the community's environment to study i.e. the lake/ wet areas and the ecology of the area. Our children study the water, the native flora and fauna and help maintain a healthy and clean environment in the area. It is also an opportunity for our children to learn how they can enjoy and contribute to the preservation of our planet.
