Unique Montessori Curriculum
Practical Life
Practical Life exercises offer a wholesome range of activities that enable children to develop control and coordination of movement, awareness of their environment, and positive work habits. Through spontaneous and purposeful work, children build concentration, attention, independence, order, responsibility, and a positive self-image. These experiences also nurture character and self-discipline. Embedded within Practical Life is Grace and Courtesy, guiding children to move with care, respect others, and interact with confidence, kindness, and social awareness.
Montessori Sensorial Education
Sensorial exercises help prepare for intellectual development in an orderly manner. Sensorial materials introduce the concepts of colour, weight, shape, texture, size, sound and smell in an enjoyable way. These experiences lay the foundation for understanding and classifying the world around them. “The hands are the instruments of men’s intellectual.” Dr. Maria Montessori.
Montessori Mathematics
The Mathematics curriculum is based on learning through experience. Using hands-on materials specially designed for young learners, children explore numbers and simple calculations in a concrete and enjoyable way. As their confidence grows, they naturally progress from working with materials to understanding more abstract ideas such as geometry and fractions—building strong foundations for lifelong learning.
Montessori Language
Our Montessori language programme is built on a phonetic approach that supports confident reading and writing. Language comes alive in the classroom as children share ideas, sing songs, enjoy stories, and express their discoveries. Through hands-on Montessori materials and rich daily experiences, children develop a strong foundation in literacy—naturally, joyfully, and at their own pace.
Montessori Cultural Studies
The Cultural area introduces children to the world beyond the classroom. Through hands-on materials such as globes, landform models, puzzles, and the study of plants and animals, children develop an understanding of nature, geography, and global awareness—nurturing curiosity and respect for the world around them. These experiences cultivate curiosity, empathy, and a quiet sense of responsibility, guiding each child to understand their place in an interconnected world.

MMI’s News Hour Programme
CHILDREN OWN THE WORLD AND BEYOND THE WORLD OF MMI
MMI’s News Hour Programme invites children to engage thoughtfully with the world around them. Through carefully planned, hands-on experiences inspired by real-world events, children are guided to observe, discuss, and reflect on global happenings in a developmentally appropriate way.
This programme nurtures awareness, empathy, and cultural understanding, preparing children to grow with confidence and sensitivity in an increasingly interconnected and cosmopolitan world.
Passport to the World
MMI’s Passport Programme is your child’s gateway to a meaningful global journey.
Through rich, hands-on experiences, children develop a genuine appreciation for the world as they explore different countries—their geography, people, history, and cultures—in an engaging and memorable way.
Children are immersed in experiences including new songs, traditional crafts, folktales, national flowers and animals, as well as early exposure to new languages—cultivating curiosity, cultural awareness, and a lifelong respect for diversity.
MMI’s Speak to be Heard! Programme
A child’s confidence begins with the freedom to express themselves without fear. In the early years, meaningful experiences play a vital role in shaping creativity, self-belief, and emotional development.
Children are encouraged to explore their ideas, emotions, and experiences within a supportive and nurturing environment. As they create, share, and communicate, they develop a strong sense of achievement and confidence in their own voice.
Creative and engaging experiences inspire imagination, build self-assurance, and provide authentic opportunities for children to articulate their thoughts and express themselves creatively—laying the foundation for confident communication and lifelong self-expression.
Our Travelers’ Palm
The Traveller’s Palm Programme offers children meaningful opportunities to develop writing and communication skills, beginning with simple postcards and letters before progressing to electronic forms such as emails.
This programme serves as an exchange platform where children connect with peers from different centres and countries, using a variety of media to communicate and share ideas.
Through these experiences, children embark on a creative journey—drawing on their imagination, thoughts, and personal experiences to express themselves with confidence and purpose.
TUMOS (Thumbs Up Morning Opening Session)
TUMOS is an interactive, holistic morning gathering that brings children together across age groups. Each week, a child is selected as Leader of the Week in recognition of their ability to serve as a positive role model.
During TUMOS, younger children are inspired to learn from the older children’s positive behaviours, developing focus, self-discipline, and purposeful engagement through the use of their senses. This vertical learning experience nurtures leadership, respect, and a strong sense of community within the Montessori environment.
