Disaster Preparedness at Learn And Play® Montessori School

by

As parents, one of our primary concerns is the safety and well-being of our children. When it comes to choosing an educational environment for them, safety should be a top priority. Montessori schools are renowned for their innovative and child-centered approach to education. However, it’s equally important to understand how these schools implement crucial safety protocols and drills to ensure the safety of every child.

Fire Drill Preparedness: Learn And Play® Montessori school’s commitment to safety includes regularly scheduled fire drills. These drills ensure that both students and staff are well-prepared in the event of a fire emergency. Children are taught the importance of remaining calm and following exit procedures.

Earthquake Drill Readiness: Our schools have been inspected for earthquake safety, reinforcing the importance of a secure learning environment. Necessary safety measures, such as secure shelving and anchoring heavy items, are implemented. We also conduct earthquake drills to prepare children for this type of emergency. Students learn to drop, cover, and hold on during an earthquake, ensuring their safety.

Teacher CPR Training: Our Montessori teachers often undergo CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training as part of their professional development. CPR-trained teachers can provide immediate assistance to a child or colleague in distress, significantly increasing the chances of a positive outcome until professional medical help arrives.

Partnership with Joffe Emergency Services: We have partnered with Joffe Emergency Services as they specialize in emergency preparedness. This partnership provides us access to expert guidance, resources, and emergency response plans tailored to their unique needs. This also ensures that Montessori schools stay up-to-date with the latest safety protocols, making certain that their safety measures align with the highest standards.

Choosing a Montessori school for your child not only provides them with an enriching educational experience but also prioritizes their safety. Through the implementation of rigorous safety protocols, regular drills, teacher CPR training, and collaborations with organizations like Joffe Emergency Services, Learn And Play® Montessori schools are committed to ensuring a secure and nurturing environment. Parents can take comfort in knowing that their children are not only receiving an exceptional education but are also protected by a comprehensive safety framework designed to keep them safe in any emergency situation. When it comes to education and safety, Learn And Play® Montessori schools aim for excellence on all fronts.

Nurturing Curiosity and Innovation: Exploring STEM in Montessori Education

by

In the dynamic world of education, the Montessori approach stands out for its emphasis on hands-on learning, self-directed exploration, and fostering a lifelong love for learning. When combined with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) principles, Montessori education takes on a new dimension, where children’s natural curiosity and innovative thinking are nurtured from a young age. In this article, we delve into how we implement STEM experiments in our Montessori school to inspire young minds and ignite a passion for discovery.

At our Montessori school, we believe that the core principles of Montessori education align seamlessly with the foundations of STEM learning. Both philosophies emphasize experiential learning, critical thinking, and hands-on engagement. Our classrooms are designed to foster independence and creativity, providing an ideal environment for children to explore STEM concepts in a meaningful way.

Some of the STEM Experiments in Our Montessori School this September:early childhood education can foster STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in Fremont

In the coming weeks, the children will be exploring a few Montessori + STEM based experiments to continue to nurture the child’s exposure to discovering new STEM-related concepts and materials.

  • Electricity: LED Experiment with Playdough – The children will learn about the basics of electricity and how it flows through playdough to conduct electricity
  • Optical: Concave/Convex – They will learn about the basics of reflection and observe how a flexible mirror can distort reflection
  • Chemistry: Chromatography Paper – Through coffee filters, the children will learn about the basics of separating mixtures and observe how different colors of ink separate into their component parts when placed on a piece of paper

Experiments form the heart of our STEM curriculum. We create an environment where students can actively engage with scientific concepts, encouraging them to ask questions, make predictions, and test hypotheses. These hands-on experiences allow children to learn through their senses, honing their observation skills and fostering a deep understanding of the scientific method.

Our Montessori STEM curriculum isn’t just about teaching facts and figures. It’s about nurturing a lifelong curiosity about the world around us. By providing children with the tools to explore, question, and innovate, we aim to cultivate a generation of thinkers, problem-solvers, and leaders who are equipped to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Through the marriage of Montessori principles and STEM education, we empower our students to be curious, confident, and capable learners.

Ongoing Fun Summer Program at Learn And Play Montessori Schools

by

Learn And Play Montessori Schools’ summer marine biology program offers children a unique opportunity to explore and learn about marine life and ecosystems during the summer months. It provides a blend of education, adventure, and fun that can captivate and engage children’s interest in marine life. It allows them to explore their passion for the ocean and learn in an immersive and enjoyable environment.

Explore our daily fun activities!

  • Marine biology puzzles offer a fun and interactive way to learn about marine life. They combine education and entertainment, making the learning process engaging and enjoyable.
  • Sandbox marine biology activities offer a hands-on approach to learning. Children can physically manipulate the sand, water, and model organisms, providing a tangible experience that enhances understanding and retention of marine biology concepts.
  • Matching cards and object activities in marine biology provide a hands-on and interactive approach to learning. They promote memory retention, cognitive skills development, vocabulary expansion, and conceptual understanding while making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging.
  • Using marine-themed counting materials, such as sea animal toys or shells, provides visual representations that aid in counting and reinforce numerical concepts. Children can physically handle objects, move them around, and place them in order, fostering fine motor skills and sensory engagement.
  • Bead stringing involves manipulating small objects, which helps improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Children practice grasping, threading, and manipulating beads, enhancing their dexterity and finger control.
  • Engaging in magnet fishing involves physical activity, including casting the magnet, pulling it back, and reeling in the objects. This activity can contribute to improved coordination, strength, and overall physical fitness.

What else are we doing during this summer program?

A fun under-the-sea activity that our teachers and children are working on every Thursday throughout the summer is a shoebox Ocean Habitat diorama. Each week as we learn more about ocean life, the children will create and add to their diorama
