In Beta 4, we had a fantastic time exploring numbers and quantity with the help of our ocean friend, the pink octopus! The kids had so much fun using their pincer grip to pick up the pom-poms and gently place them into plastic cups. We all counted how many pom-poms we collected and compared the cups to see which one had the most. What a wonderful way to learn through play!

We turned everyday kitchen items into musical instruments! The kids had an absolute blast creating their own rhythms using spoons, pots, pans, and other utensils. This fun activity not only let their creativity shine, but also helped them explore sound, rhythm, and coordination. From loud bangs to gentle clinks, we discovered that music can be made anywhere—no instruments required! It was a fantastic way to develop listening skills, motor coordination, and teamwork while having a great time!

This spider web fine motor activity was so much fun! To set it up, we strung yarn back and forth through the holes of a basket to create a web, then placed spiders at the bottom. At first, we struggled a bit, but we didn’t get frustrated. Instead, we focused harder and really concentrated on holding the tweezers tightly as we worked to pull the spiders out of the web. We were so proud when we successfully removed the spiders and counted them. Not only was it a fun activity, but it also helped strengthen fine motor skills, concentration, and hand-eye coordination!

Our Beta 2 class at the Oakville-Iroquois centre had so much fun with a hands-on science experiment! 🧪 We used milk, food coloring, and toy cows from our farm animal bin to explore colors and textures. The children stirred the food coloring into the milk, watching in awe as it changed colors—an exciting way to enhance their fine motor and cognitive skills! We love how curious they get during these random science experiments. #HandsOnLearning #EarlyScience #FineMotorSkills #CuriosityInAction #SimplySmartChildcare #STEMForKids #MontessoriInspired #ExploringThroughPlay

Our Casa children at our Brampton centre enjoyed a fantastic bowling activity! It was wonderful to see them waiting patiently in line and sharing with their friends. This fun experience not only helped enhance their gross motor skills but also fostered important social skills like turn-taking, cooperation, and communication. What a great way to learn and play together! #Montessori #GrossMotorSkills #SocialSkills #LearningThroughPlay

Here inside our Breslau Montessori classroom, the students explored the farm animals Classified cards. While exploring the cards, the children got introduced to the different types of animals and their characteristics. Once familiar with the different animals, they explore the farm felt board. The students enjoyed working with the felt board and creating their own farm with all their different animals.
