Montessori Education Program for Ages 0-3

I. Program Overview

The first three years of life mark a magical journey where children absorb their surroundings like a sponge, taking in every sound, sight, feeling, and experience. This is the period Maria Montessori described as the “Absorbent Mind,” where everything a child encounters serves as the foundation for their long-term physical, intellectual, and emotional development.

In the Montessori program, the environment is more than just a place for learning—it is a space filled with love and respect. Here, children are encouraged to explore and develop in their own unique ways, with unwavering respect for their individuality. Every element, from small tables and low chairs to carefully designed materials, conveys the empowering message: “You can do it!”

Free from the pressure of comparison or coercion, children learn at their own pace in a safe, stimulating environment. The joy of completing small tasks—such as putting on a jacket or tidying up toys—becomes a driving force for children to confidently engage with the larger world.

II. The Infant Community: Building Early Connections

The Montessori classroom for children aged 0-3, known as the “Infant Community,” is the first space outside the home where children experience belonging to a larger community. It is here that they begin their social journey, learning to connect with peers, understand their role within a group, and find joy in contributing.

Each day in the classroom is filled with meaningful experiences. Children are encouraged to care for themselves, from dressing to washing hands to tidying personal belongings. Beyond self-care, they also learn to care for their environment and show kindness to others. Simple acts like sharing toys, helping a friend clean a table, or offering a smile help children understand their value in a community.

These seemingly small lessons carry significant meaning. Children feel safe, loved, and valued as their actions bring joy to others. The classroom becomes a second family, where children receive genuine encouragement to develop their early social skills.

III. Areas of Learning in the Montessori Environment

1. Practical Life: Independence Through Small Actions
The Practical Life area is where children learn to perform everyday tasks independently. Activities such as pouring water, folding napkins, wiping tables, and dressing themselves are performed with focus and joy. Moments like putting on a jacket or cleaning up after a meal not only develop motor skills but also instill a sense of pride in their growing independence.

These lessons are designed not just to enhance dexterity but also to cultivate patience, orderliness, and the ability to self-correct. Children learn polite behavior and graceful movements, preparing them for social and cultural interactions in the future.

2. Language: Opening the Door to Communication
The 0-3 age range is a golden period for language development. Montessori creates a rich environment where children explore and acquire language naturally. Activities like using picture cards, reading books, listening to stories, and learning words through real-life objects expand vocabulary and expressive abilities.

More than just acquiring language, children are encouraged to articulate their thoughts and feelings. The sparkle in their eyes as they name a new object or retell a story is a testament to their progress and confidence. These activities lay a strong foundation for communication and critical thinking in the future.

3. Art and Music: Nurturing Emotion and Creativity
Art and music are essential elements of the Montessori program, where children are free to express their emotions and develop creativity. Gentle melodies, simple instruments like tambourines and drums, as well as activities like drawing and coloring, help children explore their inner world and expand their imagination.

This space is free from judgment or comparison. Instead, it offers joy, freedom, and encouragement. Art and music not only provide entertainment but also teach children that their emotions are valuable and worthy of expression.

4. Sensory Exploration: Discovering the World Through Senses
From birth to age three, children use their hands and senses to explore the world. Montessori offers specialized materials like color tablets, geometric solids, and tactile objects to help children refine their sensory perception.

Children also engage in gross motor activities like climbing and running, which develop balance and physical coordination. These exercises bring joy and support the development of focus, patience, and fine motor skills.

The Montessori Environment: A World of Love and Learning

The Montessori program for children aged 0-3 is more than just a learning environment—it is a world filled with love, where children are valued and encouraged to grow holistically. Each moment in this space is an opportunity for children to develop independence, confidence, and the joy of exploring the world in their own way.

With gentle guidance, the Montessori environment nurtures a spirit of independence, creativity, and social connection—essential elements that prepare children to step into the future with confidence and a strong foundation for lifelong development.

                                       Exploring the World Through Exciting Field Trips at Tiny Flower Montessori

At Tiny Flower Montessori Preschool, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom walls. Real-world experiences, immersion in nature, and engaging in community activities are essential components that shape character and foster holistic development in children.

Through field trips, children not only enhance their physical skills but also develop observation, creative thinking, and social abilities. From moments of discovering nature to exploring professions in simulated environments, each experience offers an opportunity for children to broaden their worldview, gain valuable lessons, and nurture a love for the world around them.

1. Field Trip to "Happy Farm" – A Day as a Little Farmer

A child’s journey of growth is filled with colorful experiences, and at "Happy Farm," every moment is illuminated with meaningful lessons.

Surrounded by lush greenery, children immerse themselves in nature, exploring botanical gardens and learning about different types of plants. They engage in traditional farming activities such as walking on monkey bridges, planting rice seedlings, catching fish, and enjoying a refreshing rain shower.

In addition to these adventures, children also participate in creative activities such as making lemongrass essential oil, competing to make coconut cakes, and enjoying sweet cotton candy made by their own hands.

A day as a farmer not only brings the joy of healthy, active play but also helps children appreciate the value of labor, develop teamwork skills, and foster a deeper love for nature. This experience inspires a passion for discovery and a better understanding of the world around them.

2. Visit to “Happy Petting Farm” and Snow Town

The trip to "Happy Petting Farm Saigon" is a fascinating and enriching adventure. Children have the opportunity to meet and interact with adorable animals such as lambs, ponies, and alpacas. They observe and learn from the daily activities of squirrels and North American raccoons, gaining practical insights into the animal kingdom and nature.

The excitement continues at "Snow Town," where children experience their dream winter with activities like sledding, building snowmen, and playing in a magical snowy landscape.

These experiences not only bring joy but also teach children adaptability, creativity, and how to fully embrace each unique moment.

3. TFM Book Day – Unlocking the World Through Reading

Every book is a treasure trove of knowledge, inspiration, and life lessons. TFM Book Day is a special event that invites children to step into the magical world of books.

Through activities such as reading, storytelling, and interactive discussions, children learn to appreciate books and explore how they can open doors to new horizons. Cultivating a reading habit from an early age lays a strong foundation for children to develop critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.

4. Vietopia – A Career City for Children

The visit to "Vietopia" offers children the opportunity to transform into real citizens of a miniature society. Through role-playing experiences, they explore various professions such as doctors, pilots, firefighters, and models walking the catwalk.

Children not only gain an understanding of the value of labor but also develop critical thinking skills, agility, and a sense of responsibility. They enthusiastically participate in activities like making milk, bottling water, crafting bread, and planting small green plants. These experiences help children discover their interests and abilities while sparking dreams for the future.
