In our Montessori environment, children have the freedom (within limits) to choose their own activities. With this freedom of choice, children will become enthusiastic learners and this will aid them to develop self-discipline.
Here the child masters the skills he / she will need to begin both reading and writing. Children will spend individual time with Montessori Teachers in learning to correctly pronounce single sounds of the letter, thus preparing the child for reading and writing.
In this stage, the child can assemble words using the Large Movable Alphabets letters to describe pictures or objects and still able to read these words. The Language materials further prepare the child to read words quickly and easily enough to be able to comprehend short phrases or short sentences.
Through work and play, using Montessori didactic apparatus and other teaching materials, the children develop:• Practical Living Skills
- Care of the environment : sweeping, cleaning and polishing • Sensory Motor Skills - the five senses
- sight : knobbed cylinders, pink tower, broad stairs, long rods, knobbles cylinders, color tablets, identifying environmental colors • Early Language Skills (3 Languages)

The Montessori environment is child-centred. Children progress at their own paces. Lessons are given on individual basis or in small groups. This enables the teacher to discover more about each individual child and their inner development.
Our programmes are fun filled, systematic and more effective to help children develop listening, speaking, reading, writing and thinking skills. The contents are in line with the latest revised National Preschool Standard Curriculum (Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan [KSPK] 2017). Infusions of contents that help build Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to encourage children to think critically and creatively.
The child will enjoy himself / herself, for there is interesting and attention grabbing learning in K1 through lessons such as cultural studies, cooking, science-based water play, sand play, shops, art and crafts, blocks play, role play, poem, story-telling sessions and many others.
To start off, where the learning was more concrete and indirect in Pre-K1, it becomes more abstract and direct in K1. Your child is expected to carry out a task to completion, demanding the child’s concentration and ability to stay at task.

The child’s self-esteem is central to Montessori education. The first six years of life lay the foundation for many of the knowledge bases and skill required for successful school adjustment and later adult competence. Making sure all young children enter school healthy and prepared to succeed, and that all schools are ready to help every child succeed, are critical to the future success of our community, religion, and nation.
Children who have successful preschool experience are better prepared to start school. At Tadika Suria Aman, we believe in providing an all round learning environment which will help the child to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. All these skills are important to enhance children’s transition into Year 1 of the elementary school. Children with higher level of school readiness experience a smoother transition with satisfactory progress during the early years of formal schooling.
At Tadika Suria Aman, we recognize the importance of having the right tools and resources that can guide children through the process of defining the student readiness for Year 1 elementary school.
