Bangalore... Montessori Hub of India???

Montessori Method is a globally accepted method, and India not only welcomed it with open arms, but made the Montessori Method of education its own. Namma Bengaluru can easily be crowned as the Montessori Hub of India (along with Chennai maybe). The place is buzzing with old and new Montessori House of Children, thanks to the increased awareness about the method among parents.

When parents look at the impact of Montessori Method in the long run, they obviously get attracted to the method. With this rise in the interest of parents in the method, many Montessori schools are now looking at offering elementary Montessori education as well.

Thanks to the people in Bangalore who are ready to accept an approach which promises to be the best for their children, Bangalore has Montessori House of Children spread across the city.

As parents, we need to be extremely careful when we choose a Montessori for our child. Do check our post on Choosing the Right Montessori for your Child.

Celebrations and Festivals in Montessori

Ours is a land of diversity and that is the beauty of our country. The harmony and love with which a large part of our society lives, embracing all the uniqueness and differences is what makes India truly amazing. We have so many customs, festivals and rituals in our country. We should should help our child be a part of these celebrations. Montessori is a method which is extremely adaptable and embraces all rituals. In a Montessori, festivals and holidays form an integral part of our cultural curriculum. For us, festivals are cultural celebrations and not religious. Children focus on traditions and rituals while celebrating.

We try to avoid accepting one and ignoring another important festival. All festivals hold equal importance for us. We share stories and ev...

Not Mere Words... But Experiences!

Montessori learning is unmatched because children are empowered to explore at their own pace, follow their natural curiosity, and build deep, lasting understanding through hands-on experiences in a thoughtfully prepared environment. Introducing language to young children at the right time and in the right way can truly shape their entire learning journey. In the Montessori approach, nothing is random — every lesson, material, and experience is carefully thought out to support the child’s natural development. And yes, we mean materials — not toys. Each one is a gift from Dr. Maria Montessori herself, designed after years of observing how children actually learn best. One such gem is the Large Moveable Alphabet . It’s a beautiful, hands-on material that does so much — from building phonemic awareness to strengthening early writing skills, spelling, and even confidence. Here's something we often say in Montessori: writing comes before reading . And the Large Moveable Alphabet...

Developing independence in children

If your child goes to a Montessori school, you would know, one thing which sets them apart is their independent streak. One of the most common question parents at Ayelet ask “How to ensure we don’t kill that spirit of independence?” Some parents also complain that children are too independent and don’t understand when parents are in a hurry. The 2 nd situation only arises when parents are in a rush. Let’s deal with the 2 nd situation first, if you know you’re in a hurry tell your children so, that’ll help them prepare in advance. Young children don’t understand rush/hurrying. Fostering independence in children is something we work at Ayelet every single day, as parents there are a few things you can involve children as young as toddlers/preschoolers with: Let them set their own table for meals, once finished keep their own dish back in the kitchen. After play, children can clean up their rooms. Involv...
