Memorable Moments

We touch the lives of little Ayeletians for a few years, but these are the most crucial years of their lives. At Ayelet, we ensure these children learn staying happy, secure, healthy and curious.

We witness so many magical moments in our lives; this makes our work as educators so memorable…

In the recent discussion we had about birds, children talked about their favourite birds. They spoke about peacocks, parrots, pigeons, nightingale, hummingbirds, ducks, geese, etc. After we were done discussing, Falak told all of them, “you all have made us so proud, because all of you worked really really hard and informed us about so many birds. Thank you!”

All children instantly came towards Falak and gave a big group hug. The picture below cannot do justice to the moment we shared. This is just one of many such moments. We absolutely feel blessed.

Choosing the Right Montessori for your Child It is an extremely daunting task to choose 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. 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...

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.
