Montessori Homeschooling

Developed from the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, this style of
teaching aims at duplicating natural laws that a kid faces in
life. Thus the aim of the teacher is to control the environment
& not the kid. It was observed that kids who are left free
to interact with their surroundings developed an innate
self-discipline, love for order & natural curiosity.

The Montessori method of teaching is suitable to the
preschooler who wishes to do everything by himself. Finding ways in
which your kid can participate in the cleaning, washing,
cooking, gardening & other 'adult' activities sets the ideal
backdrop for the learning experience. By providing such
opportunities for independence, the kid's self-esteem also gets
a sizable boost.

Artistic, cultural & scientific activities abound in the
Montessori 3-6 class. There is no TV, junk food, or computer.
Material is selected carefully. The kid is never forced to work.
In lieu he is encouraged to do things that interest him, & the
teacher picks up the teaching from cues given by the kid. The
Montessori method focuses on the kid's inborn ability to learn
from his surroundings. Thus the teacher aims to encourage the
natural curiosity of the kid. He is never forced to learn or
explore. When the kid understands why he needs to learn
something, he will love the learning method.
