Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The Montessori toddler community nurtures the child7s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs in a safe and loving atmosphere. The adult is available for the child and listens to his needs, creating a relationship of trust that supports confidence and self-esteem. The childrenbs house (3-6 years) provides a multi-age environment that helps children become socially responsible. The environment is rich in material and meets physical, emotional, and intellectual needs, fostering freedom, trust, satisfaction, and mutual respect. Language development is integrated into daily learning, with a tri-lingual environment (English, French, and Arabic) that supports communication. Independence and self-discipline are cultivated through carefully prepared activities that promote concentration and a positive approach to learning.
