Child I: 'The Explorer', The Researcher'...fulfilling her innate need to learn more about the plants by engaging her senses.

Adults: 🤫 let these moments unfold without posing any questions or interrupting the natural learning that is taking place.

Take time to observe your child at play and begin

Take time to observe your child at play and begin to peel back the complex layers as they unfold. We honour the child by holding the space to allow this to happen.

Offer lots of unstructured time and space for this to take place without intervention, scheduled activities or entertainment.

In Twinkle Toes, Child L was sitting at the table

In Twinkle Toes, Child L was sitting at the table playing with the wooden blocks. She lined the blocks up next to each other and counted “1,2,3...”. She reached for a block across the table, put it in line with the others and declared, "I’m done”.

In the early years, "observation" 👀 is the lens through which we can assess the child for development, social emotional well-being and to inform invitations to deepen their schematic play.

What can you the parent or educator deduce from this brief observation?

The notion that less is more can be unnerving for

The notion that less is more can be unnerving for most of us living in a "material world" and this is acknowledged, but how freeing is it to know that the environment you create in your home will have a positive impact on your child's brain development? Get decluttering and remember our children really desire 'presence over presents'.

Children learn to expect gifts, toys and other material things when we model the expectation. Notice how, more often than not, children are more fascinated with the wrapping and household items like blankets and chairs they can use to build a den (enclosure schema!) or Tupperware, pots and pans. When we give everything up front, we do a disservice to our children as we don't allow their innate creativity, imagination and innovation to develop.

Then, there's always the great outdoors where children can expand their horizons, just be and observe and interact with nature. Roll down some sand dunes together, splash in the waves, go for a walk or a bike ride, take a picnic to the wadis. Give them plenty of opportunity to explore their world and be in nature...especially at this time of year, when the temperatures are so enjoyable! 🗺🏔🏕🏖🏞🌅

Schemas are described as patterns of repeated beha

Schemas are described as patterns of repeated behaviour which allow children to explore and express developing ideas and thoughts through their play and exploration. The repetitive actions of schematic play allow children to construct meaning in what they are doing and are a part of their essential brain development.

Child A has spent some time lining up a full box of toy cars with each car facing in the same direction. “Look!”, she says to her teacher, “There is a traffic jam. They are waiting”. Prior to engaging in this activity, Child A was seated at a table with a Russian Doll. She proceeded to open the largest Russian doll and take out each one inside. Child A then lined them up across the table, almost in height order. She looks at them closely and then calls to a nearby friend, “Look at this”. The other child comes over to the table and moves as if to pick up one of the Russian dolls. Child A says, “No, this is my work. When I finish, you can have a turn, okay?” The other child nods and sits down to watch.

Lining up the toy cars and the Russian dolls are both behaviours seen in the Positioning Schema. In order to further engage Child A’s need and interest in schematic play, she could be shown an activity such as an introduction to the Number Rods in the Mathematics Area as well as learning how to set the table for a meal and following a simple pattern when threading a necklace in the Practical Life Area. It is important to provide children with resources to support their schema and this will ensure that the child can facilitate their ideas and follow their own particular interests with confidence.

Interestingly, this schema is alive and well in many adults who tend to be neat and tidy and who habitually position objects neatly on their desk, or around the home!

In today's fast paced world, the child has the ability to check out of the chaos around them and enter their own quiet space.

We respect this as a sacred moment in the process of being and learning. We hold space and honour their experience for the children are OUR teachers after all. We have much we can learn from them about presence.

We would like you to meet 14 year old Himakshi Sha

We would like you to meet 14 year old Himakshi Shastri, who once attended Little Land. Her mother was also a teacher here for 17 years!

We are so delighted and proud to share that Himakshi was recently invited to speak at the National Festival of Tolerance, 2020.

We invite you to visit our link in bio for the video! 🔗⬆️

Congratulations Himakshi! We are so happy your journey began with us and we look forward to seeing what's next! ✨

As we enter a new year, receive Maria Montessori's

As we enter a new year, receive Maria Montessori's quote and reflect...

"How much fuller would my life be?"

"Do I see my child in all her greatness and beauty?"

"How often do I find myself focusing on his "mistakes"?"

Before the break, we had been exploring constructi

Before the break, we had been exploring construction toys such as linkers and blocks in Bluebells.

Working with these objects gave the children the opportunity to develop their "positioning" and "connecting" schemas. We observed the children arranging, sorting and placing the blocks and linkers as well as actively cutting paper and gluing the pieces in straight lines.

Through these activities we see the child building the foundation of early mathematical skills as well as positional language and fine motor skills.

This linear fashion arrangement is also seen in our Montessori math materials like the number rods.
In Bluebells some of our children have been taking a lot interest working with the number rods.
Children were able to place the number rods and count each blue and red section from left to right and matching it with the right numerals.
Simple activities of positioning and lining up led to complex concepts of counting and sorting.
