Montessori School at Annanagar

“Child is the father of man” – the adage is true in all its manifestations. Development is a continuous process and nature has endowed every human being with the intelligence to understand and make progress. Initiating the understanding, for children, and optimizing their potential by preparing them for life, is the fundamental objective of this institute.

“Vatsalya – Montessori House”, created and run by Visharda Charitable Trust is dedicated to early education through the Montessori method. Dr. Maria Montessori, a pioneer in early education through her close observation of children, fashioned a system that is contemporary, scientific, and child centered. The method accords freedom and instills cosmic discipline in a well structured, graded environment and lets the children learn, suiting their needs and age.

The Montessori apparatus is set up, to take the child from known to unknown, concrete to abstract, simple to complex and to understand reality. The child learns by experience and manipulation of devices. This method, believes in drawing on the child’s optimum capacity to learn, facilitates in personality development, and gears it to face life confidently.

This school offers:
Exercises of Practical Life to gain logical thinking, orderliness, co-ordination of hand and mind, concentration, self esteem and self respect. As a result the child becomes independent.

Sensorial Equipments are scientifically designed for sense training programs. A self-teaching process, for learning to correct one’s own errors through auto education.
Mathematics is abstract in concept. The method makes children understand the fundamental concepts in a concrete way. The tasks are offered through various activities in a graded fashion with in-built practices.

Language is by phonetic method in early stages. The child travels through the experience of language development without any pressure.

The school’s curriculum also includes areas of environmental studies, cultural subjects, arts and crafts, drama, music and movement, yoga, field trips, outdoor and structured play.
