Early childhood education plays a fundamental role in shaping a child’s future, providing a strong foundation for cognitive, emotional, and social development. At Silverlily School, we understand the importance of these formative years and have designed a curriculum that nurtures each child’s growth through a blend of Montessori, British, and Nigerian educational systems.
Why Early Childhood Education Matters
Children between the ages of 0-5 years experience rapid brain development. This is the stage where they begin to form basic cognitive, emotional, and motor skills, which have a lasting impact on their academic and personal success. Providing the right kind of stimulation and education during this phase helps them develop language, numeracy, problem-solving, and social interaction skills.
Studies show that children who participate in quality early education programs are more likely to succeed academically, have higher self-esteem, and are better equipped to navigate social situations.
The Montessori Approach at Silverlily
At Silverlily School, our Montessori curriculum places emphasis on child-led learning. We believe that children should be active participants in their education, guided by their interests and curiosity. In a Montessori classroom, students engage in hands-on activities using specially designed materials that encourage them to explore concepts at their own pace. Our experienced teachers observe and support each child’s progress, providing individualized attention to their unique learning styles.
