Why Ayelet Montessori promises to be a beacon of learning?*

If you’ve chosen the Montessori method of schooling for your pre-schooler but are wondering which would be an appropriate school, you’ve come to the right place.

Tucked away in a cozy nook of Mico Layout is Ayelet Montessori founded by an experienced educator and a passionate advocate of the Montessori pedagogy, Falak Randerian.

What makes Ayelet Montessori stand out from the rest of the Montessori schools?

1. Education and care right next doorToddler-hood is when your little ones first step out of their protected environs of home to gain knowledge in a formal space. It is natural for parents to wish for a preschool that is closer to home. They also need one in which their precious ones feel welcomed and loved.

Ayelet Montessori is situated in the midst of a residential sector in South Bangalore making it extremely convenient for children to commute.
2. A non-commercial institutionSmall set-ups exude a feeling of warmth, have a flat hierarchy and are thus able to maintain, to a large extent, transparency in their transactions. Since the number of students is lesser in comparison to the bigger institutions, the kids receive the much needed personal attention. The teachers are easier to approach too.

Ayelet seeks to remain a small unit and retain these vital advantages without falling prey to expansion undertaken purely for commercial reasons.
3. An authentic Montessori environs
The core principle of a Montessori is to allow the child to learn and grow at his/her pace. The environment fuels a child’s innate curious nature. This enables him/her to learn through observation and experiments.

Ayelet incorporates all the teaching aids and methodology of a pure Montessori: from having a mixed age environment to using the best educational materials.

The mixed-age learning environment is perhaps one of the earmarks of a classic Montessori. It helps kids to grow by observing the older ones. It also fosters the natural instinct to nurture and care for the younger ones.
4. An experienced and passionate head of institution
Ayelet has been conceived by Falak after almost a decade of being an involved teacher at the MLCB language school of reading and phonics, her debut venture.

She has, over the years, successfully turned young children into readers who have mastered the language of English effortlessly. More importantly, she has earned the reputation of instilling in little kids a passion for reading and learning; we all know that is a valued attribute in today’s technology ridden world.

These heartfelt testimonials from parents of the MLCB alumni are proof enough. They speak of their faith and trust in Falak as their kids’ guide and in Ayelet as a worthy institution.
Ritu Mittal:  Falak takes no shortcuts to teach her children. She is easy to talk to and is extremely patient with children. I know my child is in safe hands & my LO has no looking back as I can rest assured she has a strong base now. Thank you, Falak.
Kalyani Rajesh: Falak’s passion and enthusiasm for her job make her an ideal teacher for the children. My daughter loves her classes and that says a lot about the teacher.  I’m sure Ayelet will be a sought-after Montessori House of Children in the near future. Here’s wishing you all the very best!

An educational institution born out of a genuine interest to shape the future generation in the right way is rare to find and Ayelet Montessori promises to be one such abode of learning.

What is Normalisation?

‘Normalisation’ a term which you will hear often in a Montessori environment. This very term at times confuses parents, specially the ones who don’t know much about the method. Normalisation doesn’t imply that a child or set of children aren’t normal, we are no one to say that. Then what does normalisation mean? Normalisation is a very special process in the overall development of a child. When a child is able to concentrate on an activity, when s/he works freely in their Montessori environment. These children are self-deciplined and peaceful. It is a stage where the child's will, intelligence and coordination of movements work together.   It is a very important stage of development. A child in this stage of development enjoys his/her work.  In The Absorbent Mind, Dr. Montessori says the following about normalisation “the most important single result of our whole work.” Children go through 3 stages of normalisation in a Montessori environment: A child w...

We love going out and explore!

"When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him." - Maria Montessori In a Montessori environment, and according to Dr. Montessori herself, exploring the outdoors is a very important extension of the indoor environment.  Every Friday, is scheduled for a visit to the park at Ayelet. We not only play on slides and swings (that is a very important part of our time in the park), but we explore the environment around. We pick flowers and leaves, spot creepy-crawlies, observe, listen to stories, discuss and enjoy.  On one such visit to the park, children collected rocks and stones, back in Ayelet, we learned how to clean these stones. We followed it with discussing about the colours, shapes, size, etc. Once, we spotted a butterfly in our porch (which is such a rare sight now-a-days). We went on to read Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and discussed the life-cycle of a butterfly.  A child picked flowers on one such v...

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...
