Montessori Online Work Period - Practical Life (Ages 3-6)

Welcome to our Montessori Practical Life class, where students will embark on a journey to develop essential life skills in a fun and engaging environment. This class is designed to foster independence, fine motor control, coordination, and a sense of responsibility in young learners. By incorporating the principles of Montessori education, we aim to provide a nurturing space where children can grow and thrive.

We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada.

Our teaching style is fun, engaging, and productive. We believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience that stimulates curiosity and a love for discovery. By creating a positive and supportive atmosphere, we aim to keep students motivated and eager to participate.

Students will have ample opportunities to interact with the teacher and their peers throughout the class. The small group setting ensures that each child receives personalized attention and has the chance to actively participate in all activities. We incorporate a variety of teaching methods, including hands-on activities, interactive games, discussions, and occasional video clips, to make lessons dynamic and relatable.


What Will Be Taught?

Our Montessori Practical Life class focuses on teaching children the fundamental skills they need to navigate their daily lives with confidence and independence. The primary goal is to support the holistic development of each child by emphasizing practical activities that are relevant to their everyday experiences.


Topics Covered

Care of Self: Children will learn basic self-care tasks such as dressing, grooming, and hygiene. These activities help them become more independent and build self-esteem.

Independence: We will encourage children to take initiative and make choices about their activities, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-reliance.

Fine Motor Control: Through various hands-on activities, students will develop the precision and control needed for tasks such as writing, cutting, and buttoning.

Coordination and Control of Movement: Activities designed to improve balance, coordination, and control of movement will be introduced, helping children to become more aware of their bodies and how they move.

Care of Environment: Children will learn to take care of their surroundings by engaging in tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and gardening. This instills a sense of responsibility and respect for their environment.

Grace and Courtesy: We will teach social skills and manners, such as polite greetings, table manners, and respectful interactions with peers and adults, fostering a harmonious and respectful classroom community.

Focus and Concentration: Through structured activities, students will practice sustaining their attention and completing tasks, which are crucial skills for academic success.


Class Structure

Each class session begins with the teacher showing the materials needed for the day's activity (a list is provided one week prior to class). This demonstration includes a step-by-step guide on how to perform the task, ensuring that children understand each stage of the process. After the demonstration, children will have the opportunity to try the activity independently, while the teacher observes and provides real-time feedback. This approach allows children to learn through hands-on experience while receiving the support they need to succeed.


Join us in the Montessori Practical Life class, where we help children develop the skills they need to navigate their world with confidence and independence. Through engaging activities and a supportive learning environment, we set the stage for lifelong success and fulfillment.
