Early Years

At Leap years, we integrate several methodologies and approaches drawing upon Montessori philosophy with the ultimate aim of helping every child become school - ready.

Leap Years program is a well-rounded process to inculcate fundamental skills of language, arithmetic,daily living, grace and courtesy.

We also have a small kitchen with a stove to teach simple cooking. Exercises in practical life, Integral to a Montessori environment, will be extended to field visits to supermarkets, parks and other public places of relevance.

Multimedia equipment such as android and tablets are used sparingly to enhance the learning experience of the child.

Young children with autism are required to attend multiple therapy sessions.

Leap Years is open to co-ordinating with other therapists to develop a comprehensive IEP and ensure holistic learning..

Regular consultation sessions between parents and teachers ensure a continuity of learning experience across school and home environments.
