TrottersStop Montessori School
Our Curriculum

Our Programs

Six carefully designed learning areas that develop the whole child — intellectually, sensorially, emotionally, and physically.

Practical Life
Building independence from day one

Practical Life

Practical Life activities form the cornerstone of Montessori education. Children practice real-life skills — pouring, spooning, folding, and caring for the environment. These purposeful activities develop concentration, fine motor control, and most importantly, independence.

Care of self (dressing, hygiene)
Care of the environment
Grace and courtesy
Control of movement
Social behaviour and relations
Sensory-Based Learning
Learning through all the senses

Sensory-Based Learning

The Sensorial materials are designed by Dr. Montessori to refine the child's senses. Through exploration of size, colour, texture, sound, smell, and taste, children build a rich vocabulary for the world around them and lay the foundation for later academic learning.

Visual — discrimination of size, shape, colour, dimension, and patterns
Auditory — recognition of sounds, pitch, volume, and tone
Tactile — texture, smoothness, roughness, and touch sensitivity
Olfactory — identification and differentiation of smells
Gustatory — recognition of tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami)
Baric — perception of weight (heavy vs. light)
Thermic — recognition of temperature differences
Stereognostic — identifying objects by touch without seeing them
Proprioceptive (Kinesthetic) — awareness of body position, movement, and muscle control
Vestibular — balance, spatial orientation, and coordination
Mathematics
Numbers you can touch and feel

Mathematics

Mathematics at TrottersStop is anything but abstract. With globally recognized Montessori math materials — from number rods to the bead chain — children physically handle quantities before they ever write a number. This concrete-to-abstract progression makes mathematical thinking natural and joyful.

Counting and number recognition
Quantity and symbol association
Operations (addition, subtraction)
Introduction to place value
Geometric shape exploration
Phonetics & Language
Words that open worlds

Phonetics & Language

Language development at TrottersStop follows a rich, multi-sensory phonics pathway. Through sandpaper letters, moveable alphabets, and carefully selected books, children progress naturally from spoken language to reading and writing at their own pace.

Vocabulary enrichment
Phonemic awareness
Letter recognition (sandpaper letters)
Blending and word building
Emergent writing and reading
Art, Music & Drama
Creativity is intelligence having fun

Art, Music & Drama

Creative expression is woven into every day at TrottersStop. From finger-painting to storytelling circles, from rhythm instruments to puppet theatre, children explore the arts as a language of their own — building emotional intelligence, confidence, and imagination.

Free and guided art creation
Rhythm and movement
Singing and music appreciation
Dramatic play and role-play
Storytelling and narrative development
Movement and physical confidence
Strong bodies, sharp minds

Movement and physical confidence

Movement is learning. Our outdoor spaces and physical activity programme are designed to develop both gross and fine motor skills through structured and unstructured play. From slipper slides to bouncy balls, from running games like relay, dodge balls to musical chairs, every movement is joyful.

Gross motor coordination
Fine motor precision
Balance and spatial awareness
Outdoor free play
Movement and unstructured play
