About Mon1 | Genius Kids International Pre School

1. There should be an understanding of the child as they are taught, despite the socio-economic environment from which they have originated.

The research and innovative programs developed by Maria Montessori are of value to anyone living and working with children. Many parents are using Dr. Montessori’s discoveries to educate their children and help them develop the skills needed for living in today’s global environment. At Genius Kids, our ideals revolve around a mutually exclusive community of children, all of whom strive for their personal best and are given every means of achieving their goals in the process.

2. Children are to be respected as individuals with special attention to be given to them depending on their individual needs and aspirations.

Dr. Maria Montessori (1870 – 1952) developed a philosophy of education, which enabled children to develop and learn naturally, through spontaneous and self-directed activities. She recognized that during the first six years of life, children experience a series of sensitive periods.

At Genius Kids, we take advantage of these sensitive periods by helping the children develop the five senses and assisting them in perfecting these natural learning tools. To do this fully, new students must start school before the age of 4,

preferably by 3 years of age.

3. The most important years of growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is gradually brought to the conscious level.

According to Maria Montessori, a six-year-old child has moved from the stage of the absorbent mind to the second plane of development. This stage is characterized by:

The need for increasing independence
The development of the concepts of justice and morality
The need to establish and define a social identity
The use of the imagination as a tool for understanding the universe, humanity and the history of both

4. The child possesses an unusual sensitivity and mental powers for absorbing and learning from his or her environment that is unlike those of the adult, both in quality and capacity.

Montessori program to ensure that children could see and understand how interconnected and interdependent all living things are. Human beings are hardwired to learn by doing and the curriculum Maria Montessori designed as a model for an interconnected and integrated curriculum:

The mind thinks with ideas and connections, not just with information and facts.
Educating children is to teach young minds how to deal with ideas and how to adapt them to new ones.
The skill of the teacher is to ask the right questions so that the student is able to investigate, experiment, and find their own answers to make the connections.
