Knowledge Tree+ Montessori Kindergarten, Desa ParkCity

The Kindergarten

Conveniently located in the Plaza Akardia development in the heart of Desa ParkCity in Kuala Lumpur, Knowledge Tree + Montessori Kindergarten offers progressive educational programmes that underscore hands-on learning and self-directed activities on the part of the child. Benchmarked against the century-old, science-backed philosophy and principles developed by Dr Maria Montessori, the kindergarten’s intrepid approach to its early education is nothing short of exemplary.

Good early education provides children with a solid academic foundation for their future learning. As such, Knowledge Tree + Montessori strongly believes that Montessori education provides the best possible learning opportunities for children. Children are eager learners and are highly self-motivated to learn and teach themselves when placed in a carefully designed learning environment. Their first few formative years are just as critical. To stay true to these ideals, Knowledge Tree + Montessori continuously strives to provide a calm, stimulating child-centred learning environment with an emphasis on personal responsibility.

Beliefs And Visions

In conformity with the Montessori Method of education, Knowledge Tree + Montessori educational philosophies are deeply rooted in the following aims.

a) To develop social, spiritual, personal, physical and intellectual growth of a child.

b) To influence behaviour patterns.

c) To drive children to the quest for knowledge.

d) To spark educational interest which is to last a lifetime.

A Family Of Experienced Teachers

Teachers play a key role in a child’s development, be it cognitively or academically. Knowledge Tree + Montessori places a great emphasis on the quality of the teaching and learning experience. Only qualified teachers with relevant teaching experience are thus recruited. Ergo, all teachers at Knowledge Tree + Montessori kindergarten are diploma holders in Montessori at the least, or degree holders in the field of early childhood education. Series of training programs for teachers are organised from time to time at the kindergarten where education experts are occasionally invited to conduct such training workshops. To ensure all children aged between 3-6 years old at Knowledge Tree are able to develop their potential through the educational standards of Dr Maria Montessori more effectively, the teacher-student ratio is purposely kept small.

Knowledge Tree + Montessori offers age-appropriate, progressive educational programmes and numerous after school enrichment activities that are individualised for each student. All classes and programmes are carefully segmented into several levels and are true to the visionary educational philosophy of Dr Maria Montessori. The following essential skills are taught:
