Ayeletians: One Big Community

When we work in an authentic Montessori environment, we see magic in front of our eyes every single day. We not only see these children grow taller, more confident, loose their first tooth; the best part is to see them evolve into individuals with their distinct moods, personality traits, behaviour… in short seeing their entire self develop in front of us. It’s amazing to see little Ayeletians become such an integral part of the Ayelet community in their journey spanning over more than 3 years.

During the time they spend at Ayelet, they take up different roles. From being unsure little toddlers to being confident, caring, aware leaders.

They work, play, help, celebrate, support, share, talk, analyse, understand together as a community. Working together and learning from one another.

The time they spend at Ayelet Montessori, they spend being together as one big community. The care, compassion, love they share for one another is at another level. It is beautiful to see them evolve in front of our eyes and we feel blessed to have serve them.

Montessori: Choosing the Right School

Choosing the Right Montessori for your Child It is an extremely daunting task to choose the right Montessori for your child. Fortunately, Bangalore is buzzing with Montessori Houses of Children around the city. There are a few problems associated with the same as well. The term “Montessori” has now become an adjective to attract parents. There are some great Montessori schools out there and a few which have attached the term Montessori for namesake. Before you decide you’d be choosing a Montessori, you will have to do two things: You have to ask yourself a question: Is the Montessori Method right for you and your family?

6 Tips on managing the dreadful Initial Days

What do you think of your child’s first day of school? Dreadful, sad, full of tears, anxiety? As a parent, you start feeling anxious the moment it dawns upon you that your little one will be in another environment without you. If you are a first-time parent, the feeling is worse. Well, one thing we need to understand is that these are normal feelings. Here are a few tips which might help you to deal with those dreadful initial days. Discuss it with your child and treat those initial days as a fun ride. Plan your day ahead, develop a fun routine around it, which belongs to you and your child. A walk from school to home, discussing about what s/he will wear, etc. Plan and go with the plan, the person who drops the child to school ideally should be someone who the child isn’t the closest to. Say a quick good bye, develop your own quick drop off routine and leave. Your child might cry, try to cling on to you, but try and not hang around there where your child can se

Positive Parenting at Ayelet Montessori

What drew me to the Montessori method in the beginning was the respect a child gets. When we talk about children, who form our world at Ayelet, we have to talk about parenting in the same breath. 'Parenting' for most of us has become a challenge to say the least. Unfortunately, we cannot compare our parenting styles to what our parents followed. A workshop on 'Positive Parenting' was organized by Ayelet last week, it was conducted by Gayathri Ananth. This session was aimed at trying to figure out how we as parents can improve our relationship with our children. Gayathri is a very renowned children and adolescent counselor based in Bangalore. The workshop was a beautiful experience, thanks to the trainer for customising it based on the people who attended the workshop. We talked about the basic challenges we go through as parents; tantrums, whining, sulking, screen addiction, etc. We also looked into conventional ways of disciplining like hitting, scolding and
