Vision & Mission

The goals of the St. Nicholas Montessori Centre are to make available from our ongoing and developing knowledge base, the appropriate educational programs, teaching methods, and pedagogy to help develop our nation’s human resources beginning at the most fundamental level, our children.

Only through proper fundamentals can children be equipped to have the self-confidence, motivation, and determination to continue to drive Malaysia towards long-term national goals. As society, education, and technology continue to change, children must be equipped to respond, adapt, and lead change as they mature.

It is our vision that through continuously providing superior academic, social, and moral programs, St. Nicholas Montessori Centre’s Intellectual Properties will:

• be the program of choice for enlightened parents searching for a preschool to form their children’s core foundation


• be the preschool of choice for teachers and educators seeking employment or a reliable benchmark in progressive Early Childhood Education


• be the investment of choice for dedicated and committed entrepreneurs interested in Early Childhood Education as a business format

Guiding Principals of St Nicholas Montessori Centre

The guiding principles of St. Nicholas Montessori Centre are based on the combination of the learning components, and learning outcomes of the following complementary Early Childhood Education philosophies:

• Montessori-Methods:
  Dr Montessori's fundamental concept is that the learning environment should be designed to facilitate maximum independent learning and exploration by the child.





• Developmentally Appropriate Practices:
  Contemporary educational principals rooted in classic Montessori fundamentals: the frameworks of normal child development are based on individual strengths and deficits reflective of each child's overall learning and needs, not just on narrowly defined basic skills



• Malaysia National Preschool curriculum:
  The Malaysia National Preschool Curriculum is based on 4 principles:
  
  
  1. Overall & Integrated Self-Development:

  2. Cheerful Learning:
