At the Sommer school, we are dedicated to providing a holistic and enriching education experience for our young learners. By integrating the best practices from the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and Play Way methods, alongside the International Baccalaureate (IB) model, we offer a unique and comprehensive approach to early childhood education
The Montessori approach emphasizes self-directed learning and hands-on activities. In our classrooms children are encouraged to explore and discover at their own pace, fostering independence and love for learning. Our specially designed materials and learning environments support the development of critical thinking, problem solving, and fine motor skills.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we view children as capable, curious, and full of potential. Our educators act as co learners and collaborators, guiding children through project-based learning experiences. This approach nurtures creativity, communication and collaboration, empowering children to express themselves in multiple ways.
The EYFS framework provides a structured yet flexible approach to early childhood education. We focus on prime areas of learning and development: communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. Additionally, we incorporate the specific areas of literacy, mathematics, knowledge and understanding of the world.
Recognizing the importance of play in early childhood, our play way method integrates playful learning experiences into daily activities. Through imaginative play, games, and hands on projects, children develop essential cognitive, social, and emotional skills. This method promotes joy in learning and helps children build strong foundations for academic and personal growth.
The IB model emphasizes inquiry-based learning. The IB model encourages children to become curious and active learners in a classroom setting and to develop a love for fearless learning. By incorporating the IB model, we help children develop the attitudes and skills necessary for success in a globalized world.
Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. We provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel valued and respected. Our educators are passionate and highly trained, dedicated to fostering a love for learning and helping each child reach their full potential. By blending the above mentioned diverse educational philosophies.
