Amazing Star
Montessori Curriculum

A child-centered approach that fosters independence, confidence, and a love for learning.

Amazing Star Montessori fosters a love for learning by focusing on intrinsic motivation rather than rewards and punishments.

While they enjoy the freedom of choice, Amazing Star Montessori emphasizes a structured routine that fosters concentration and a sense of order.

 

A Proven
Educational Philosophy

Amazing Star Montessori curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child by focusing on intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development, building a strong foundation for lifelong success. Montessori-inspired education not only cultivates academic skills but also fosters emotional intelligence, empathy, and respect for others. Through carefully planned activities, children develop teamwork, communication, and a sense of responsibility for their peers and environment. The self-correcting nature of Amazing Star Montessori materials empowers children to recognize and learn from their mistakes independently, promoting resilience and problem-solving skills. Our learning environment is thoughtfully designed with child-sized furniture and logically arranged materials placed within easy reach, fostering autonomy and encouraging independent exploration and organization.

Exploring the Core Areas
of Montessori Learning

Amazing Star Montessori classrooms are designed to promote independence and exploration. They are organised into different areas, such as:

Practical Life

Practical life activities equip children with essential life skills that foster independence, responsibility, and confidence. Tasks such as pouring, buttoning, and sweeping build fine motor control, concentration, and coordination. These activities align with children's natural interests, encouraging self-discipline and preparing them for more complex academic challenges with confidence and precision. Ultimately, they help children become masters of their own environment and self-care.

Sensorial

Our sensorial curriculum refines children's senses, enhancing their ability to observe, compare, and classify the world around them. Using carefully designed materials such as color tablets, sound cylinders, and touch boards, children develop their sensory perception and lay the groundwork for future learning, particularly in mathematics. Sensorial activities help children sharpen their visual, auditory, and tactile skills, fostering deeper cognitive development.

Language

Language development is nurtured through a phonetic-based, multi-sensory approach that builds strong literacy skills. Children are introduced to phonetic sounds through materials like sandpaper letters and movable alphabets, gradually progressing to word-building, grammar, and writing. Through storytelling, reading exercises, and structured phonics lessons, children develop a rich vocabulary and effective communication skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Mathematics

Montessori mathematics introduces children to numerical concepts through concrete, hands-on materials that make abstract ideas more tangible. Using number rods, bead chains, and other specialized materials, children grasp foundational concepts such as quantity, sequencing, and problem-solving. The Montessori approach ensures a natural progression from concrete to abstract thinking, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships.

Creative Expression

Art, music, and movement play an essential role in reinforcing learning and self-expression. Children participate in creative projects, engage in rhythmic activities, and explore artistic techniques that stimulate their imagination and build their confidence. Additionally, cooking experiences and field trips provide hands-on learning opportunities that enrich their overall development.

Chinese Language

Our Chinese language program is specially designed to build a strong foundation in a fun and immersive environment. Through songs, rhymes, reading, and storytelling, children develop confidence in speaking Mandarin while expanding their vocabulary. A language-rich setting encourages exploration and provides children with the key to understanding Chinese culture.

Daily Routine &
Structure in Montessori

A Typical Day at Amazing Star Montessori

Morning Assembly: Building Community

Each day begins with a morning assembly, where children from mixed-age groups (ages 3-6) gather to sing the national anthem and recite the pledge. This shared experience encourages a sense of community and collective responsibility. Older children serve as role models during assembly, demonstrating appropriate behaviors such as where to stand and how to participate, while younger children learn by observing and emulating them. This collaborative environment builds leadership and respect while fostering peer mentorship.

After assembly, children transition to their respective classrooms, where the rest of their learning activities take place.
