The “prepared environment” is Maria Montessori’s concept that the environment can be designed to facilitate maximum independent learning and exploration by the child. In the prepared environment, there is a variety of activities as well as a great deal of movement. A Montessori teacher serves as the preparer and communicator of the environment to the child and is responsible for maintaining the atmosphere and order of the prepared environment. The materials range from simple to complex and from concrete to abstract, catering toward every child’s age and ability.
Montessori classrooms are designed to offer lessons, activities, and tools that match the developmental needs and interests of each child. It is important to note that not every child will be interested in every available lesson. This is why children are allowed to choose the lessons they gravitate toward naturally.

Beyond celebrating the birthday student, the Birthday Walk is also a learning experience for all students. In keeping with Montessori philosophy, the birthday student uses physical props to depict their journey and growth. The process begins by setting up the environment for a Birthday Walk.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy.

Children practiced washing legs with their peers to show appreciation to their parents.
They guide each other on the steps of washing legs and foot care.
Keep it up, children! The day is counting down, and let’s wait for the day!

To let one know about a culture is to let one experience it.
The children had Hari Raya Open House in school. They dressed up in Malay traditional costumes, brought some traditional foods to share with their peers, and learned dance movements! They enjoyed it so much.
Wishing all Muslims who celebrate this festival Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
