A Day at Neev Montessori School Chennai-Older Primary(4-6 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.
Children between the age 4 and 6 years are considered Older Primary. While they were living in a dazed, dreamlike state in the previous stage, by age four, they slowly start waking up to and making sense of the world around them. They are now able to sense differences in the objects around them in terms of colour, sound, taste, smell, weight and dimensions. The primary environment is prepared with the Montessori materials that help reinforce the innate sensory wisdom of their body. A keen observation of a child working with scientifically designed sensorial materials shows how they can differentiate even slight differences accurately. This is precisely the reason why children below 6 years of age can grasp and learn multiple languages simultaneously. They can differentiate between the words, accents and pronunciations of all languages spoken in their surroundings accurately.
Young children have a great affinity towards language. It’s also a sensitive period for language. Their absorbent mind helps them learn many languages effortlessly. At Neev we take great care to make the environment rich in language; content, meaning and context. We follow the phonic method of reading and writing. By using appropriate materials, children come to learn that letter sounds are the building blocks. They learn to read and write by decoding and encoding individual sounds, and this opens up a whole new world to them. Mathematics is an integral part of a Montessori environment. Thoughtfully designed concrete materials for shapes, sizes, dimensions, patterns and numbers help young children gain a sequential understanding of concepts from concrete to abstract.
Another crucial characteristic of children below 6 years is that they cannot sense that they are different from their surroundings. They live vividly with their senses, and like a sponge, soak in all the impressions they perceive. Therefore, they identify very strongly with their surroundings and are capable of sensing the emotional undercurrents around them. Ergo, Negative emotions and attitudes affect them deeply. At Neev we ensure an environment filled with genuine love, kindness, compassion and truth. Love for nature, compassion for all beings, freedom, fearlessness, responsibility and mutual respect for each other is an integral part of Neev Montessori School. By instilling these essential values early on, we strive to shape these young people into responsible human beings.
Last but not the least, this is a period of rapid physical growth and development. Children like to undertake new challenges with their physical body. This builds their self-confidence, and gives them a sense of achievement. The outdoor play area at Neev Montessori is carefully designed to offer the physical challenges they crave whilst ensuring safety for their well being as well.
