Foundation Stage
Foundation Stage - Montessori to 3rd Grade
The Foundation Stage, also known as Montessori to 3rd Grade stage (earlier known as pre primary grade) is for the Age Group of 2 to 9 years. This is the age when children learn through their senses, through free play, activities and discovery. Keeping this in mind, Smrti Academy uses the Montessori Method for children in the Age Group of 2 to 6 years. For 6 to 9, Smrti focuses on Activity Based Learning whilst leaning heavily on the Montessori Philosophy. During these years, the approach to learning has to be flexible to adapt itself to the varied pace at which the cognitive abilities develop. As children develop at their own pace, the Smrti Foundation Stage Program follows the Child.
