Transitional Primary at Montessori Reggio Academy

At Montessori Reggio Academy, we are dedicated to nurturing the curiosity, independence, and confidence of our youngest learners. Our Transitional Primary program lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning by blending the Montessori philosophy, Reggio Emilia principles, and the Cambridge International Early Years curriculum. Through a carefully prepared environment and child-centered approach, we foster self-paced, self-led exploration while ensuring each child receives the guidance and support needed to thrive.

In the Classroom

Our students engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences, working both independently and in small groups. Under the guidance of our highly trained Montessori teachers, children develop essential early academic and social-emotional skills. The classroom environment is thoughtfully designed with natural lighting, calming colors, and organized materials to encourage focus and creativity.

The Reggio Emilia approach enhances our curriculum by embracing children as active participants in their learning journey. We encourage students to ask questions, share ideas, and express themselves freely, helping them build confidence and communication skills. Each month, our students explore Reggio-inspired themes and projects, deepening their understanding through hands-on, creative experiences.

Our Cambridge International Early Years curriculum is tailored to meet the developmental needs of young learners, focusing on:
