Ayelet Montessori

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.

Our regular parent information sessions ensure parents are informed about the Montessori method and parenting, for them to partner w...

Meeting new parents is something we do on a daily basis, and we find meeting prospective parents an enriching experience, more so, when we discuss the person in question – the child. We also love   sharing the wonderful benefits of a Montessori House of Children, like ours. Many parents are usually aware of the Montessori method of education; and then there are few parents who need to be informed about Montessori. Some parents do tend to compare their options, especially the fee structure. As a new House of Children, we try to make Ayelet affordable without compromising on the quality & the authentic Montessori offered. Having said that, it’s unfair to compare an authentic Montessori to a conventional pre-school environment. The latter can decide on what to offer to the child and the fees can be decided accordingly. In case of an authentic Montessori set-up, we need to ensure a lot of Montessori elements are offered to the child. The main...
