“Follow the Child” or What we do and how?

Whenever someone talks about the Montessori Methodology, you are bound to hear the term “Follow the child”. What does this term exactly mean and how we work at individualizing the curriculum?

At Ayelet Montessori, we promise to offer complete and total development of each Ayeletian. This means all-round development, academics and beyond. Each aspect is given as much importance. Like in a Montessori environment, at Ayelet, we pay attention on a child-focused approach. An authentic Montessori environment encourages love for learning, curiosity and emotional good health of the child. We at the ‘Child’s Happy Place’ know these traits will help the child grow into the best version of him/herself. 



This is possible due to our individualized programs. It all starts each academic year when the Montessori guides discuss the students who are continuing from the previous year/s and the new students as well. The month of June and most of July goes in understanding the students (new as well as continuing) and analyzing /planning each child’s path. This doesn’t just include academic planning but also strategies to help the child face problems if any.

Throughout the year we tweak the plans based on how each child is moving ahead. Our guides observe each child on an almost daily basis and track all relevant information. In Ayelet, we take the help of an amazing Montessori software where everything is tracked. Our weekly staff meetings ensure everything goes as per plan. Obviously, each school day starts with a brief team interaction so that everything moves smoothly. 



Our parents are regularly informed about anything they need to be aware of. We work at counseling parents if needed as well. We truly believe parents are our partners for us to work with children. 

Every authentic Montessori environment will follow an approach where they work towards the optimum and complete development of every child. We have here highlighted how we work at Ayelet Montessori.

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?

The first step wouldn’t be complete if you don’t understand the method, hence you have to take out sometime and understand the Montessori Method.

Starting a Montessori House of Children

When I decided that I will start my own House of Children in 2013, I knew how I wanted it to be; but reality is different. When I launched Ayelet few weeks back, I realized that I have achieved what I wanted to, not exactly but close to what I wanted. The realization didn’t sink in completely and I got busy with ‘spreading around the word’, that is the toughest part of the journey till date. As I wait for those parent tours and registrations, I still know,soon, this place will be buzzing with little ones. What I set out to create? I set out to create a ‘Montessori House of Children’ in the true sense of the word. A warm space where each child gets a respectful, nurturing, joyful, creative, safe, exciting and inspiring environment.  When I meet some parents who do not have any knowledge about Montessori education, I try to show them the various aspects of Montessori education, which make the method so beautiful. It isn’t an easy task, but it is challenging. Then I meet pa
