At Four Seasons Montessori geography is an integral part of the curriculum. The children gain an awareness of the world around them by exploring other countries, their customs, language, music, art, people, animals, flora and fauna, and climate. This helps to raise their consciousness about other people, to gain an understanding and tolerance and, therefore, compassion for all people in the world.
Children begin with the study of the globe, then the land and water forms, followed by the continents and individual countries. The materials include colour-coded wood puzzle maps, flags of the world, geography folders with pictures for each continent, and small animal figures.
