The Seven Areas of Learning

At British Oak Montessori, our commitment to holistic development is reflected in our curriculum’s foundation, which encompasses the Seven Areas of Learning. This comprehensive approach ensures that your child receives a well-rounded education, fostering growth across various dimensions of their development.

1. Personal, Social, Emotional Development

We recognize the significance of cultivating a strong foundation in personal, social, and emotional skills. Through engaging activities, positive interactions, and a nurturing environment, children learn to manage their emotions, build relationships, and develop self-confidence. Our approach empowers them to become resilient, compassionate individuals who can navigate the complexities of social interactions.

2. Physical Development

Physical development is nurtured through active play, movement, and the exploration of the world around them. Our carefully designed spaces and activities promote gross and fine motor skills, helping children build physical strength, coordination, and spatial awareness. This area ensures that children are equipped with the physical capabilities to engage with their environment effectively.

3. Communication and Language

Effective communication is essential for personal and academic success. Through rich language experiences, stories, conversations, and exposure to diverse forms of communication, our curriculum promotes language development . This foundation enables children to express themselves, understand others, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning through language.

4. Literacy

Literacy is a cornerstone of education, and we empower children with the skills to navigate the world of written and spoken language. From Storytime to phonics activities, our curriculum ignites a passion for reading, writing, and effective communication. Literacy forms the basis for academic growth and self-expression.

5. Mathematics

Our approach to mathematics goes beyond numbers and calculations. We foster a deep understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on experiences, problem-solving activities, and real-life applications. By engaging with mathematical principles in a meaningful way, children develop critical thinking, logic, and numerical literacy.

6. Understanding the World

Our curriculum encourages children to explore and make sense of the world around them. Through cultural studies, scientific exploration, and exposure to the natural world, children develop a sense of curiosity, wonder, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of our global community.

7. Expressive Arts and Design

Artistic expression is celebrated as a crucial avenue for creativity and self-discovery. Through music, drama, visual arts, and creative play, children explore their imagination, develop their artistic skills, and learn to communicate their ideas in innovative and diverse ways.

At British Oak Montessori, our commitment to the Seven Areas of Learning ensures that your child’s development is nurtured in a comprehensive and well-rounded manner. By embracing these dimensions, we provide a solid foundation that prepares children for future academic success, social engagement, and a lifelong love for learning.
