Home is a place where a child has a cocooned
life - where he/she is surrounded by near and dear ones,
who shower unfathomable love and attention. From such a
sheltered environment, they come to school at a very tender
age.
Initially the children feel totally lost,
insecure and are in awe of everything around them in school.
They fail to relate to their environment and hence are unable
to adjust and cope up.
Our Montessori House provides the right
skills and knowledge necessary to stimulate the child's
mind. Slowly and steadily the children learn to adjust and
be comfortable. They learn to share, converse, appreciate
and co-habit. They develop as well as improve on their toilet
habits. They learn to break their silence and express themselves.
They value time and get into the habit of coming to school.
They are able to differentiate between the right and wrong
and once they do so, they correct themselves. They shed
their insecurities and inhibitions here.
This is achieved through various learning
methods and constructive activities listed below :-
-
Motor Skill:- The
motor skills are sharpened through coloring, cutting,
pasting, marking with crayons and pencils, zipping, buttoning,
lacing, playing with dough and many other activities.
-
Social and Emotional Development:-
Self-help skills and interpersonal skills enable a child
to develop confidence and independence, necessary to function
independently in a group. These skills include developmentally
appropriate accomplishment, like sharing, interacting
with peers, understanding and following the teacher's
commands, toileting and participation in class room activities
among many others.
-
Visual Skills:- Visual
skills are developed through identification of everyday
objects, identifying objects for shape, for colour, what
is missing? what is different? and so on.
-
Listening Skills:-
Recitation of Rhymes/Narration of stories following verbal
instructions/recognizing sounds of letters and everyday
sounds helps a child to develop listening skills.
-
Language Skills:-
Verbal communication, develops language skills. It helps
the child to communicate with his/her peers to express
his/her desires.
The sole aim of our Montessori
House is to make the experiences of the child, during his/her
stay in the school joyful and pleasurable. When the child
is ready to leave and tread into the world of formal training,
he/she is matured, responsible, disciplined and cooperative.
He/she has already learnt the traits of co-operate living.
The child develops into a complete individual, confident and
brave enough to cope with tests of time. We have been able
to achieve this through unpretentious love and genuine care. |
