About Jardim das Criancas de Maputo; JCM Schools

JCM uses a play-based approach and activities for its early childhood development program. These activities and practices we draw from Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia pedagogies. The program builds gross motor skills, fine motor skills, self-confidence, logic, problem solving, language, self-regulation, social intelligence, emotional intelligence and love of life-long learning. We believe that for children to achieve the best in their learning they must feel actively engaged and empowered in their learning environment. Rather than viewing the role of the teacher as the instructor or lecturer our teachers act as guides, facilitators or coaches in children's learning. Every child determines their own investigations and curriculum path, actively seeking knowledge and becoming self -directed learners. The "teachers" also assist the children to ensure that they are achieving strong foundations in literacy and numeracy in line with international standards. Our priority for JCM students is to empower them with the 21st century skills of communication, creativity, collaboration, reflection, and other “human skills."
