Curious Minds Stimulation Centre

Curious Minds is a pre-school which is run on a balance of traditional
and Montessori teaching methods and principles. We
have, through trial and error as well as experience chosen various
areas of both methods for our very own unique and
effective stimulation program. We also incorporate the methods and
solutions of Dr Melodie de Jager.
This high quality educational facility offers services to learners
from 1 year of age.
We focus on the cleanliness and hygiene of the surroundings,
appropriate stimulation of the child and most importantly,
the happiness and contentment of each and every child. “A persons a
Person No Matter How Small!” (Dr Seuss)
Our program is designed to allow children to learn through play while
encouraging (and noticing) individual interests. By
promoting independence and developing an emerging awareness of social
behavior, we help young learners expand their
world beyond the home to the school community.
Teachers support growing independence by providing opportunities for
classroom jobs: putting things away, washing
hands, and choosing materials and activities. Many opportunities are
provided to increase a child’s ability to communicate
by developing active listening and expressive language skills.
Throughout the day children make self-directed (but carefully guided
choices), participate in small groups, take part in
circle time, and build the confidence needed to try new things.
Children enjoy free play to allow creativity and imagination
to flourish. Teachers facilitate opportunities for children to engage
in reading, writing, listening, and speaking using poems,
finger plays, puppets, singing, and rhyming.
We promote the entitlement of each and every learner to become a
strong child, a skillful communicator, a competent
learner and a healthy, well balanced and all rounded child.
