Ayelet's Parent Meet

We, at Ayelet work closely with our parent community and we intend to grow in the same direction.

We are blessed to start our Montessori journey, with parents who genuinely care for their child's education. We believe it is essential for parents and Montessori adults/guides to form a partnership of sorts, which works best for the child. We try to keep our parent communication extremely open. Our parent meet is an important step in this direction.

A week back, we had our first parent meet; and what an experience it was. Parents and older siblings took a back seat and saw their children work independently. Since, right now, we have a small group of parents, we hosted the meet together with both the parents attending the same. From next year, we plan to host a separate parent night for mums and dads.

We started with the circle time, our guests loved our welcome song and the weather song (which is a favourite with the children as well). We took the parents around. And then, just like magic, children took their work and parents watched with a big smile on their faces. We also had our art corner ready for children... painting with parents, is such a joyful experience!

It was soon time to leave and children refused to do that, they stayed back and so did the parents.

All in all, it was an amazing experience.

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...

🚨 Why authenticity in Montessori education is important

If you are a parent of a young child and exploring preschools in Bengaluru, you will notice many schools claiming to be Montessori. But here’s the truth: calling yourself a Montessori school and being an authentic Montessori environment are two very different things. Unfortunately, many preschools use the Montessori label as a marketing strategy. But a visit to the classroom often reveals something else: Substandard or imitation Montessori materials Locked shelves with limited child access Untrained teachers directing instead of guiding A lack of observation and individualized learning Traditional practices like punishments and rewards When a school is not Montessori, these practices may simply reflect its chosen method. But when a school claims to be Montessori while not following the philosophy, it becomes a serious concern. 🚨 Why authenticity in Montessori education is important because Montessori is more than materials or mixed-age classrooms—it is a philosophy of respect, in...

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...
