learning at wonderland

creating a platform for global learning & teaching practices

At Wonderland, our learning and teaching practices have been based on the Montessori philosophy. With a focus on developing life-long learners and life-skills, Wonderland has decided to enrich their excellent Montessori teaching and learning practices by introducing the Enquiry-based curriculum, the International Early Years Curriculum, IEYC while maintaining to keep the best of the Montessori philosophy. 

Maria Montessori developed a range of age-appropriate activities designed to enhance children's fine and gross motor skills, language skills, spacial awareness, mathematical skills, along with developing skills and values like, task completion, focus, and independence .

 

The classrooms are fully equipped with Montessori materials and we are adding a range of materials to support the IEYC.

​

                       the IEYC is an innovative research-based curriculum, recognising global best practice and the developmental needs of 2-5-year-olds. It supports key areas of learning through holistic enquiry and play-based approaches encompassing all curriculum areas including personal, social and emotional development.​

there are 8 Learning Principles that underpin all practice in the IEYC, developed from the research undertaken by the developers of the curriculum.

​

​​

1. The earliest years of life are important in their own right.​

​

2. Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace.​

​

3. Play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development.​

​

4. Learning happens when developmentally-appropriate, teacher-scaffold-ed and child initiated experiences harness children’s natural curiosity in an enabling environment.​

​

5. Independent and interdependent learning experiences create a context for personal development and are the foundation of international mindedness.​

​

6. Knowledge and skills development lead to an increasing sense of understanding when children are provided with opportunities to explore and express their ideas in multiple ways.​

​

7. Ongoing assessment, in the form of evaluation and reflection, is effective when it involves a learning-link with the home.​

​

8. Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interest.
