In the WISE Early Learning Department, we recognize and respect that all children have their own unique learning journey. This fundamental respect for every child’s natural capacity and growth allows us to foster a love of learning intrinsically while encouraging concentration, initiative, imagination, self-confidence and independence. We ensure every child makes good choices and exercises self-mastery/discipline.

Mastery in the Practical Life area ensures mastering self-reliance, independence, confidence and a higher self-esteem. Practical Life activities also help enhance focus, hand-eye coordination and concentration.

Sensorial activities develop and heighten the awareness of the child’s senses. Through repetition, the child will be able to differentiate between the slightest differences and variations. The Montessori Inspired Sensorial exercises isolate one specific sense at a time, maximizing its refinement.

Additional resources and materials are implemented to the Early Learning Department to ensure Common Core Standards are implemented and met.

In the area of Mathematics, children learn to convert abstract mathematical concepts into concrete concepts through the Montessori Inspired materials. Through a specific progression of materials and lessons, methods, children develop a strong and solid foundation in the understanding of foundational mathematical skills and concepts.

Cultural units of study are units which are largely developed to help the child adapt to their own society. They begin with concrete experiences that children might encounter in their environment, and then provide them with an understanding of the more abstract principles through carefully scaffolded interactions with their environment.

Arabic/Islamic lessons are taught through hands-on materials and activities to provide children with concrete knowledge of the Arabic language and Islamic concepts and ideas.
