Shanghai Utsukushigaoka Montessori Kindergarten assists in the growth of children by the educational idea of Montessori

The teachers decorated the concert hall and prepared the opening program book to welcome the new students on the first day of school. The upper grades children prepared cheerful songs and dances to welcome their new friends warmly. It was the beginning of a new journey in life for the children. Teachers presented blessings and bouquets to the new students, wishing them an unforgettable and fulfilling time at Utsukushigaoka Kindergarten. After the ceremony, a group photo was taken to record the moment.

By using Montessori materials and completing the exercises during the Montessori Morning Work Time, children’s sensorial ability and logical ability can be well developed. It is also a free time which children can get teachers’ support individually. During the mixed age play time, the older children warmly welcomed and played with the new students, reflecting Montessori kindergarten’s emphasis on cultivating children's ability to care for others.

On the sunny days, the teachers took the children outdoors to play sports and exercise. We emphasize on the development of children's physical fitness. In terms of exercise, the teachers taught the children rhythmic movement classes in the concert hall, where the students made movements according to the rhythm. These movements refer to Pilates and Yoga, exercising the children's hand and foot coordination, endurance and balance abilities.
