“Because the first years of life are forever”
85% of the brain is formed by age 3
EDUCATION FROM BIRTH
If we touch children, we touch humanity. We must educate adults to realize that we can only better humanity through the child. We must realize that the child is the builder of the man.
Consciousness does not exist from the beginning; in every child it has to be built up anew in the first years of life.
The child’s type of mind is an absorbing mind; it absorbs whatever is around it. Children begin to absorb everything of their environment from the beginning of their lives. It is a mind endowed with special psychic powers, which we lose later.
The first years of life are period of huge transformation. They are times of great difficulty, times when character is formed.

GOAL OF THE PLAYGROUP
Support the development of the child by assisting him in prepared Montessori environment.
Children under 3 are going through a stage of rapid brain and skill development. For optimum development, young children need a stimulating environment to play and learn. Playgroups offer babies and toddlers a wide variety of early learning experiences.
Playgroup is a great way for your child to learn about the world, make friends and develop social skills. Playgroup also gives mummies, dads, grandparents and caregivers a chance to share ideas and experiences. Many long-term friendships begin at Playgroup.
Playgroup develops physical skills, teaches problem solving, communication and social interaction and, of course, it’s great fun!
PLAYGROUP LANGUAGE:
The mentor is using English and if it is necessary Russian (Latvian).
The mentor understands Estonian very well but doesn’t speak it.
PLAYGROUP DURATION
The duration of the lesson is 1 h 30 min. Number of participants in the group: 5-6 families.
Each lesson includes:
Free activity in the Montessori environment for 60 minutes.
Individual work in the Montessori environment with materials and toys for fine motor skills and self-service skills, language, sensory skills, coordination of movements and a sense of order.
Music circle in English (15-30 minutes).
We are singing, dancing, playing finger games.
Snack. Your child can sit with others on the table and have some snack
AREAS OF EXPLORATION
Practical life activities. Practical life activities offer the children active participation and collaboration in the aspects of care of self and care of the environment, and preparation of food.
Language. In the language prepared area the children learn the language. All the activities the child engages in become a language lesson, because the child absorbs the language he hears.
Fine Motor skills area. Coordination of hand movements is essential for building intelligence. Maria Montessori called the hand of the child “the second brain”.
Movement. The more the child moves, the more connections neurons make in the brain, so movement makes your child smarter!
Music/Art. Art and music help to integrate both parts of the brain.
