Smiles Academy plans the exercises and materials in the classroom (inspired by Montessori learning) can be divided into four main groups:
1. Practical Life
-This area develops concentration, co-ordination, social skills,
and independence.
2. Sensorial
-categorize and systemize the vast assortment of impressions
they have already received and will continually go on receiving
at the center.
3. Language
-Through the use of hands on materials, the children explore
vocabulary development, the preparation of the hand for
writing, and the introduction of the sounds of the letters of the
alphabet. This leads the child to reading and writing.
4. Mathematics
-Beginning with materials to understand the concepts of 1 to 10,
the child is then able to move into all areas of mathematics
learning about larger numbers, teens, skip counting, and
fractions all in their concrete form.
