Integration of 2 well-known early childhood methodologies was the key factor. Merging Self-learning Montessori method into the traditional kindergarten was possible after many trail and errors. Working with materials that are self-correcting give children with seamless boundaries.

As Dr Maria Montessori says – “The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn”.

Hands on activities with self-correcting sensorial materials like pink tower, brown stairs, colourful play blocks and EPL activities to introducing phonics and rote method of learning for language and math all comes within this new pedagogy. This approach encourages a holistic learning experience, allowing children to engage with academic content in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

Every child is unique.

• Much importance is given to sensory play and block play for all classes makes way for better social and emotional grounding. These help children remain calm and open extend their comfort zone. While on the other hand these block play is the most effective way of stimulating logical thinking and spatial awareness in little minds.
• Keen observations of children by respective affectionate class teachers make them connect to the soul of the child. This works on strengthening social and emotional skills. Eventually builds self-concept and self-respect. In the words of Dr. Montessori, we call this as spiritual development - where child learns about self then connect with nature through logical consequence. Eg: life cycle of butterfly or germination of seed compare to how they grow. Hence we have special birthday walks to explain this concept.
• Its just not enough if we work with children alone. Every child grows up to be a responsible respectful individual of this country. So the role all stake holders, mainly parents and family dynamics have a greater impact on child development. Sharing the care – is the mantra for successful Preschool education. Parent support is the key to this.
