Parents as Partners

We aim at making Ayelet a ‘child’s happy place’, this can only be achieved when the child feels loved and secure in his/her school. This also requires team Ayelet to partner  with the child’s primary caregivers. It’s essential parents, children and people at Ayelet work as a community for the best of the child. 

This partnership starts with the admission process, where we are extremely clear about what Ayelet offers to the child and about the admission process. We don’t ‘interview’ the child, but we interact with the parents to understand how well they are aligned with the Montessori method and with Ayelet. We also encourage prospective parents to spend some time in Ayelet to understand us better, before taking an informed decision. 



We, as a school believe in being as open and transparent about the child to the parents. Our regular parent information sessions ensure parents are informed about the Montessori method and parenting, for them to partner with Ayelet. These sessions have been highly appreciated by Ayelet parents. Besides the bi-annual parent-teacher conferences, Ayelet also hosts parent evenings and open houses. Our conferences ensure the discussion is open, clear and focused on the overall development of the individual child.  Parents are encouraged to connect with the Guides and Directress for any queries/discussions/suggestions. We take the feedback seriously and be as true and clear in our responses as possible. Our weeklies and our online school management/communication system ensures parents do not need to wait for conferences or sessions to get informed about their child. 

This partnership is based on mutual respect for each other and for the 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. When we celebrate a festival, its about the customs, the clothes and the traditional food. As a Montessori school, Ayelet believes in celebrating all holidays with equal enthusiasm. 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...

🚨 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...
