A day at Neev Montessori School Chennai - Younger Primary(2.5-4 YRS)

Neev Montessori School in Injambakaam,Chennai is founded with a firm belief that the most important quality of human development is that it strives to optimize itself.
We follow Montessori method of education, but our quest to improve ourselves has brought us the magnificence of Waldorf education.
Younger Primary children, typically aged between 2.5 and 4 years, are enticed by every little thing they see; a spider spinning a web, a caterpillar munching on a leaf, and so on. Everything is a sight to behold and delight in. At Neev, we ensure a lot of free time for these children so that they can play or engage with nature uninterrupted, without interference from the adults.
Children at this age are always absorbing the environment around them through all their senses, like a sponge. They become so fully engrossed that all else ceases to exist around them. This single-minded focus is the biggest power of this age, and here at Neev, we take great care to prepare their daily activities such that this 'power' is fully utilized.
The younger primary children learn best from imitation. Hence, our daily schedule includes ADL (Activities of Daily Living) such as cutting, pouring and rolling chapatis so that they get the opportunity to imitate what their parents do at home. Carefully designed sensorial materials help them use the innate wisdom of their body and senses to recognise even slight differences in height, weight, volume, colours, sound, taste and smell.
The younger primary age is a highly sensitive period for language development in that it provides a highly effective window for natural and effortless language acquisition. At Neev, we offer language rich activities (stories, rhymes, songs, dialogs, and narratives) in English, Tamil and Hindi to best utilize this potential.
This is also a period of rapid physical growth and development. At Neev, our environment is thoughtfully designed to make the best use of any opportunity for movement and coordination. These include carrying chowkis, rolling mats, sweeping, washing, and so on. A variety of basic physical activities such as running, hopping, crawling and spinning are also incorporated in their daily routine to help enhance their physical strength and balance. The outdoor play area has a lot of open space and scientifically designed play equipment to encourage children to take on new physical challenges and to overcome their inhibitions.
