Foundations Preschool’s Understanding of Toddlers and Early Learners (CUTE)
In conventional schools, by the time a teacher knows the personality of the child, a lot of time has gone by. This also results in teachers “branding” children of specific behaviour, which in reality might be ignorance in understanding the child. But Montessori school in Fulshear, Texas are different.
C.U.T.E (Foundations Preschool’s Understanding of Toddlers and Early Learners) is an initiative of Foundations Preschool to enable the teacher to understand the children even before the academic year has started. C.U.T.E is a collaborative effort that involves the parent as well as the teacher.
Instead of relying on brief notes of an admission form, our teachers spend time with each parent individually in an effort to know the child, his favourite TV programs, his fears, what makes him laugh, what word he uses for water or food…… little things that will help the teacher handle the child in a way which is optimal to his learning. Every little detail learnt from you will be preserved for the whole academic year. Over the month the teacher will add her observations and record anecdotes that shape your child.
At the beginning of the next academic year, the previous class teacher sits with the new class teacher and shares each child’s progress and personality individually, helping her gain a prior understanding of each pupil’s attributes. And this process continues till the child is in school, ensuring that the teachers spend most of their time in the child’s learning & not in trying to understand the child.

AwSTEM
We know that a child’s interests can lead to exploration, discovery and understanding of the world. That’s why our Balanced Learning approach integrates science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM ) throughout the day to make learning fun. Also, our specially designed AwSTEM program caters to the science concepts which the child learns in the classroom setup. Concepts rather than being taught are experienced by the children in an activity-based manner
