Junior’s Play House Montessori Preschool Johor Bahru

Educational Philosophy

The school follows the Montessori philosophy founded by Dr Maria Montessori, a child-centred approach with more than a century of educational history. Learning is guided through hands-on exploration, self-directed activity and meaningful engagement.

Teachers act as facilitators rather than instructors, allowing children to build concentration, self-discipline and intrinsic motivation through purposeful work.

Programme Overview

The Montessori curriculum is designed for children aged 18 months to 6 years and covers:

• Practical Life – independence, coordination and daily living skills
• Sensorial – refinement of the five senses and cognitive focus
• Language – vocabulary development, phonics and early reading
• Mathematics – number concepts and logical thinking
• Cultural Studies – science, geography and awareness of the natural world

Art, music and physical activities are also integrated to support balanced emotional, social and physical development.

Learning Environment

Classrooms are carefully prepared with Montessori materials that encourage exploration and concentration. Children are free to choose activities according to their readiness and interest, fostering responsibility, confidence and independence.

Outdoor play and group interaction are incorporated to nurture social skills, empathy and respect for others.

Parent and School Partnership

Junior’s Play House values close collaboration with parents. Regular communication, progress sharing and parent engagement help ensure continuity between home and school, supporting each child’s holistic growth.
