About this employer
We set up a beautiful Bilingual Montessori Home Nursery. We have a spacious area downstairs equipped with child-sized furniture, well-arranged Montessori materials, and high-quality toys. All these toys and materials cover the seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). These resources help children develop fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, language, math, literacy, and more. At the same time, they encourage children to be confident and independent.
I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role as a childminder. Over the past eight years, I have worked as a nursery teacher, nurturing and educating young children in their crucial early years. My commitment to early childhood education is backed by a Master’s degree in Pre-school Education, which has provided me with a deep understanding of child development, educational psychology, and effective teaching strategies. In addition, I completed Montessori Diploma Course with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) in London. This prestigious training has equipped me with specialized skills to create a stimulating and supportive learning environment based on the Montessori principles of independence, hands-on learning, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.
We tailor the environment to meet each child’s needs, regularly rotating materials and toys. Children are encouraged to independently choose their activities. Our teachers observe the children, creating plans to introduce new challenges gradually to support their development. We share daily observations with parents weekly and provide children’s reports twice a year. Additionally, we hold an annual parents’ meeting to discuss your child’s development and how to support them at home.
Our large, enclosed garden is filled with outdoor toys and activities that children love, such as riding bikes, tricycles, planting, and sensory play.
We also offer a bilingual environment in English and Mandarin, giving children a strong foundation in both languages. Research shows that bilingual education can enhance communication skills, improve cognitive development, and provide cultural awareness and sensitivity. Being exposed to multiple languages from a young age can lead to better problem-solving skills, creativity, and multitasking abilities. Children in bilingual environments often show greater flexibility in thinking and a better ability to focus and switch attention between tasks.
