A Word From The Director.
Hello! I am Inoka Jayasinghe, the founder of Creative Minds Children's House.I was inspired to start my own program as it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow. As a AMI teacher with 18 years of experience, I believe that Child’s mind and is equipped with considerable knowledge to nurture and enrich their minds that are constantly curious and ready to grasp new events that unfold in their environment. Rather than being instructed what to do, a child is provided immense freedom to make decisions, a liberating experience for a little mind that paves the way to unleashing so much hidden potential. Art is an experience that requires free thinking, experimentation, and analysis which is all part of creativity.
Creative Minds Children's House Montessori Preschool
in Irvine
At Creative Minds Children's Home, our curriculum is comprised of five subject areas: Exercises of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math and Culture.
A child in the AMI Montessori Method of Education acquires “Total Development" which is concerned about the Development of the “Total Child." That is to help your child develop physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and psychologically.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Creative Minds Children's Home in Irvine, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by exploring the world around them. It is our goal to provide an environment that helps prepare children to thrive in school and the broader world. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learning. We welcome all multicultural children to the program as we strongly believe that accepting and respecting each other's cultures allows us to grow more. Having an open mind on all cultures from different parts of the world under one roof gives us an opportunity to learn from each other better.
I hope the information provided will enable you to decide on a quality preschool education for your precious child. A well-organized preschool or Montessori should necessarily offer an accepted curriculum and a developmental program. Creative Minds Children’s house upholds the principles and philosophy of the AMI Montessori Method of Education.
