I. Overview: The Golden Period of Intellect and Character Development

Between the ages of 3 and 6, children enter a period of remarkable development—referred to as the golden period for shaping intellect and character. During this time, children transition from absorbing knowledge passively and unconsciously to acquiring it with conscious intent, actively seeking and processing information through their senses. Maria Montessori described this phase as one where children explore the world with open hearts, sparkling curiosity, and hands eager to engage.

In a Montessori program, the environment is not merely a place for learning but a nurturing space where children are empowered to explore, discover, and grow. Every corner of the classroom, from practical life activities to sensory materials, is meticulously prepared to ignite a passion for learning deep within the child. Children not only learn to understand the world but also to appreciate it—from small acts like caring for a flower to completing complex tasks with their own hands.

This stage is not only a time for intellectual growth but also for cultivating a strong, confident, and independent character. Through daily learning and experiences in the Montessori environment, children build a solid foundation for future growth, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional development.

II. Practical Life Activities: Independence from the Simplest Actions

1. Supporting Life: Connecting with the World Around Them
Practical life activities in Montessori go beyond teaching everyday skills—they allow children to connect with their environment. By performing tasks such as dressing themselves, washing dishes, wiping tables, or caring for plants, children engage in meaningful work that fosters independence.

Through these activities, children learn to recognize their role in the environment and understand that even small actions contribute to the harmony of the community. These tasks not only enhance fine motor skills but also instill cultural values, a sense of responsibility, and empathy for the world around them.

2. Adapting to Life: Building Self-Reliance
Montessori believes children learn best through hands-on experience. When given the freedom to do things themselves, they not only refine their skills but also develop adaptability. Practical life lessons enable children to experience the joy of completing tasks independently, fostering confidence and internal discipline.

3. Building Character Through Practice
Each activity helps children develop focus and learn to complete tasks systematically. Repeated actions not only enhance skills but also nurture patience, organization, and self-control, laying the groundwork for a strong and balanced character.

4. "Normalization": The Ideal State in Montessori
In Montessori, “normalization” refers to the state in which children freely choose work they love and perform it with deep focus and joy. During this time, children experience satisfaction from the learning process itself, rather than external praise or pressure. In this state, children develop self-regulation, a sense of harmony within their environment, and core values such as order, empathy, and responsibility.

III. Sensorial Development: The Gateway to the World

1. Sensorial Materials: Experience and Abstraction
Montessori features unique sensorial materials that help children explore the world through sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. These experiences gradually build abstract concepts of the world.

For example, children learn about size through the Pink Tower, differentiate sounds with Sound Boxes, and explore textures with Rough and Smooth Boards. These activities not only develop logical thinking but also enrich imagination, preparing children for future studies in mathematics and science.

2. Connecting the Senses: Comprehensive Experiences
While using sensorial materials, the senses operate independently yet harmoniously, enabling children to experience the world comprehensively. This interconnectedness fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and logical thinking.

IV. Language Development: Unveiling the Power of Words

1. Language in Every Breath
From ages 3 to 6, children are particularly sensitive to language. During this period, they not only learn to communicate but also explore the structure, grammar, and deeper meanings of words.

Montessori creates a rich language environment where children expand vocabulary through picture cards, storytelling, reading books, and tactile activities like tracing sandpaper letters. These lessons ignite interest, showing children that language is not just a tool for communication but also a means of creativity and connection.

V. Mathematics in the Montessori Program

In Montessori, mathematics is not an abstract subject but the language of order and logic, closely tied to real-life experiences. Children learn math through materials like number rods, bead chains, and number boards, which make numbers and operations tangible and engaging.

Every math activity is designed to build logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and confidence in understanding complex concepts. Mathematics becomes an exploration of the world’s order and logic, making abstract concepts clear and relatable.

The Montessori Journey: A Foundation for Life

The Montessori program for children aged 3-6 is not just about understanding the world but about discovering themselves. Each day in the Montessori environment offers opportunities for intellectual, personal, and spiritual growth, laying a strong foundation for their future.

Maria Montessori once said: “Education is not something which the teacher does, but a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.” The Montessori program embodies this philosophy—guiding children to explore, learn, and love the world in their own unique way.

Exploring the World Through Exciting Field Trips at Tiny Flower Montessori

At Tiny Flower Montessori Preschool, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom walls. Real-world experiences, immersion in nature, and engaging in community activities are essential components that shape character and foster holistic development in children.

Through field trips, children not only enhance their physical skills but also develop observation, creative thinking, and social abilities. From moments of discovering nature to exploring professions in simulated environments, each experience offers an opportunity for children to broaden their worldview, gain valuable lessons, and nurture a love for the world around them.

1. Field Trip to "Happy Farm" – A Day as a Little Farmer

A child’s journey of growth is filled with colorful experiences, and at "Happy Farm," every moment is illuminated with meaningful lessons.

Surrounded by lush greenery, children immerse themselves in nature, exploring botanical gardens and learning about different types of plants. They engage in traditional farming activities such as walking on monkey bridges, planting rice seedlings, catching fish, and enjoying a refreshing rain shower.

In addition to these adventures, children also participate in creative activities such as making lemongrass essential oil, competing to make coconut cakes, and enjoying sweet cotton candy made by their own hands.

A day as a farmer not only brings the joy of healthy, active play but also helps children appreciate the value of labor, develop teamwork skills, and foster a deeper love for nature. This experience inspires a passion for discovery and a better understanding of the world around them.

2. Visit to “Happy Petting Farm” and Snow Town

The trip to "Happy Petting Farm Saigon" is a fascinating and enriching adventure. Children have the opportunity to meet and interact with adorable animals such as lambs, ponies, and alpacas. They observe and learn from the daily activities of squirrels and North American raccoons, gaining practical insights into the animal kingdom and nature.

The excitement continues at "Snow Town," where children experience their dream winter with activities like sledding, building snowmen, and playing in a magical snowy landscape.

These experiences not only bring joy but also teach children adaptability, creativity, and how to fully embrace each unique moment.

3. TFM Book Day – Unlocking the World Through Reading

Every book is a treasure trove of knowledge, inspiration, and life lessons. TFM Book Day is a special event that invites children to step into the magical world of books.

Through activities such as reading, storytelling, and interactive discussions, children learn to appreciate books and explore how they can open doors to new horizons. Cultivating a reading habit from an early age lays a strong foundation for children to develop critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.

4. Vietopia – A Career City for Children

The visit to "Vietopia" offers children the opportunity to transform into real citizens of a miniature society. Through role-playing experiences, they explore various professions such as doctors, pilots, firefighters, and models walking the catwalk.

Children not only gain an understanding of the value of labor but also develop critical thinking skills, agility, and a sense of responsibility. They enthusiastically participate in activities like making milk, bottling water, crafting bread, and planting small green plants. These experiences help children discover their interests and abilities while sparking dreams for the future.
