Quelles sont les activités Montessori en crèche ?

The Montessori educational approach, developed by Maria Montessori, is a cornerstone in preschool education, providing children with an environment where they can flourish with autonomy. In Luxembourg, KidsCare Montessori nurseries adopt this pedagogy by offering rich and varied activities that stimulate the overall development of young children in a secure and nurturing setting. Discover how our Montessori activities shape children's minds through discovery, exploration, and active learning!

Snoezelen Approach: A Zen Space for Exploring the Senses

One of the key activities in Montessori nurseries is the Snoezelen approach, a concept originating from the Netherlands used to create a relaxing multisensory space:

• A sensory retreat: This space is designed for children to explore freely with their senses. Soft lights, varied textures, and soothing sounds stimulate the five senses without constraints or judgment. Children are encouraged to touch, smell, and listen, helping them better understand the world around them.
• Well-being and energy regulation: This type of environment helps children find a state of well-being while teaching them how to regulate their abundant energy!
   

Multilingual Education: An Asset for the Future

Multilingual education is an essential component of Montessori nurseries in Luxembourg, where Luxembourgish, French, and English are integrated into the children's daily routines:

• Language immersion: From a young age, toddlers are exposed to these languages through playful activities and daily interactions. Our educators use books, songs, and games to gradually introduce vocabulary and linguistic structures in each language.
• Cognitive benefits: Multilingual education offers numerous advantages, such as developing cognitive flexibility, improving communication skills, and fostering better cultural understanding. Children learn to associate different words with objects or concepts, enriching their language and understanding of the world.
   

Plenty of Outdoor Activities: Connection with Nature

KidsCare Montessori nurseries emphasize the importance of connecting with nature, a crucial element for the holistic development of young children:

• Outdoor walks and play: Children are regularly encouraged to go outside and explore the surrounding nature. These outings allow them to discover animals, plants, and natural cycles, enriching their understanding and respect for the environment.
• Gardening: Planting, watering, and observing plant growth are practical activities that develop patience and responsibility in children. By growing their own food, toddlers learn the importance of respecting nature and renewable resources.

Arts and Practical Activities: Developing Creativity and Motor Skills

Art and practical activities play a crucial role in the Montessori program. They provide children with opportunities to express themselves and develop their motor skills:

• Creative arts: Children are encouraged to express their creativity through painting, drawing, music, or modeling. Using their hands to create artwork helps develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
• Practical activities: In Montessori nurseries, practical activities include tasks such as cutting paper, pouring water, or sorting objects by color and shape. These tasks, often presented on trays or in boxes, are designed to be easy to complete. They help children gain independence while developing their dexterity.
   

Montessori Materials: Tools for Awakening and Learning

Montessori materials are specifically designed to support children's learning and development through exploration and manipulation:
 

• Sensory boxes: These boxes contain objects of various textures, sizes, and shapes, allowing children to develop their sensory perception and analytical thinking by comparing and sorting.
• Nomenclature cards: Used to enrich vocabulary, these cards associate images with words, facilitating language learning. Toddlers can manipulate the cards, match them to real objects, and use them to form simple sentences.
• Practical life materials: Items such as clothes for dressing dolls, kitchen utensils, and other everyday tools are made available. Children can imitate the activities of older individuals or adults (at home, in stores, at school), preparing them for future independence.

Montessori activities in nurseries are designed to offer an environment rich in discoveries. The goal is to allow children to explore the world in an autonomous and stimulating way. Whether through the Snoezelen approach, multilingual education, outdoor activities, or practical arts, each activity aims to develop the mind, body, and emotions of children. 

At KidsCare in Luxembourg, we are committed to preparing children for life by providing the best conditions for growth and flourishing.
Offer your children a unique educational experience! Here, every mom and dad can be sure that their little ones are welcomed in a nurturing and enriching environment.
