“The senses, being explorers of the World, open the way to knowledge.” - Maria Montessori
There are five senses – sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. Our senses help us to understand what’s happening around us.
Nursery students at MIS explored smelling and tasting different fruits like lemon, mango, bitter mellon, etc. It was an amazing sight to see the little ones completely engaged in the sessions.

It is fun to watch our kindergarten students peel and cut their carrot. In Montessori, this is considered a Practical Life activity. Why is this necessary in the Montessori environment? The direct aim of Montessori Practical Life activities is to help develop social skills and independence and to adapt to society. Indirectly, Practical Life activities develop fine motor skills, as well as strengthening intellect, life skills, concentration, and personal will.

Children are curious. They want to find out how they can change and affect people and things around them. Children learn by trying things out, and by observing and copying what others do.

"The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn" - Dr. Maria Montessori

The best gratitude for us is to see our students coming to school happy every day. It happens gradually, with time, and requires hard work and devotion from the Team.
When the adaptation period is past, the trust is built, and the balance is reached, the child concentrates her full energy on acquiring new knowledge, absorbing it like a sponge. The "prepared environment" just helps them to reveal their inner talents and needs. Each child is different and finding the right path to everyone is what we focus on the most in our work. This joint work brings significant results. And we are truly proud to be a part of their happy childhood!

"The training and sharpening of the senses has the obvious advantage of enlarging the field of perception and of offering an over more solid foundation for intellectual growth. The intellect builds up its store of practical ideas through contact with, and exploration of its environment. Without such concepts the intellect would lack precision and inspiration in its abstract operations."
- Dr. Maria Montessori

“We observe that a child occupied with matters that awaken his interest seems to blossom, to expand, evincing undreamed of character traits; his abilities give him great satisfaction, and he smiles with a sweet and joyous smile. ” - Dr. Maria Montessori, Citizen of the World, p. 96

One of the most enjoyable activities for young children is caring about plants. Plant care, like all Care of Environment activities, encourages young children to appreciate and enhance different aspects of their environment. When learning to care about plants children perceive that plants are living and understand how important it is to be loving and caring for nature.
Not only they practice how to water plants properly, they also learn how to wash the leaves of a plant, improving their fine motor skills and developing a sense of accountability and purpose. It also helps to develop patience and confident expectation.

“Repetition is the secret of perfection” - said doctor Montessori and this is very true, as in early childhood, repetition forms the basis for learning, skill development, and accomplishment. Basically, the repetition refers to any form of work that provides the child with opportunities to practice a skill or knowledge area. It may come in many forms. First of all it comes from routine and the environment. Knowing the routine, and having things happen in an ordered way, helps children to know what to expect and feel at ease. When the environment is predictable, a child feels safe and secure, which establishes the optimal environment for learning.
Learning itself requires electrical energy to create neural connections, and in young children, these neural connections are only beginning to be formed. Repetition is a necessary building block that allows them to strengthen the connections in the brain that help them learn.
In we pay much attention to the consistency and the free choice of work, so the child can return to the same activity with frequency, repeating it until she have perfected it.This sustained period of repetitive activity encourages children to develop the concentration and self-discipline required for more advanced work.

Hands-on learning or learning by doing
The process of learning which takes place through action. Hands-on learning is a vital part of childhood because it’s how young children start learning skills informally before entering formal learning. When the hands are busy, the brain is active and this stimulates its growth. The right side is stimulated through visual stimuli, creativity and using the imagination; the left side through problem solving, spatial awareness, sorting and organising.
The senses are engaged through physical participation in learning. Not only hands-on learning improves fine motor skills, it helps to develop critical thinking skills and create learning opportunities to use all seven senses.

“The training and sharpening of the senses has the obvious advantage of enlarging the field of perception and of offering an over more solid foundation for intellectual growth. The intellect builds up its store of practical ideas through contact with, and exploration of its environment. Without such concepts the intellect would lack precision and inspiration in its abstract operations. ” - Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child, p. 101

The role of Montessori teacher.
A Montessori teacher is more like a gentle guide. The one who leads children in the general direction and gives them the tools they need to find information themselves. Maria Montessori once said, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”
A large part of Montessori teacher's work is an intentional preparation of the classroom environment that is developmentally appropriate, inviting to children, and supports them in their journey to work independently. Montessori are highly trained - not only they know Montessori philosophy and how to use specialised materials, they are also aware of the child development, psychology, and integrating the arts.
teachers give individual or small group lessons. Lessons are hands-on, straight forward, and intended to engage the child so that she will want to continue the discovery on her own. Once the child is engaged, the Montessori teacher steps back, and refrains from correcting, complimenting, or otherwise interfering in any way.
“When the child begins to show interest in one of these, the teacher must not interrupt, because this interest corresponds with natural laws and opens up a whole cycle of new activities. But the first step is so fragile, so delicate that a touch can make it vanish again, like a soap bubble, and with it goes all the beauty of that moment. The teacher, now, must be most careful. Not to interfere means not to interfere in any way.” - Dr. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind.

Leaders are not born, they are grown!
The Montessori environment is one of the perfect places for leaders to be grown specifically because it’s a structure, it’s an environment that encourages accountability and responsibility-taking that we may see inherent in all leaders.
But what leadership is actually nurtured in Montessori classroom? Here are some major points:
- Multi-age grouping;
- Mistake-friendly environment;
- The balance of freedom and responsibility;
- Orientation towards action

Sensitive periods are the periods of intense fascination for learning a particular characteristic or skill, such as going up and down steps, putting things in order, counting or reading. It is easier for the child to learn a practical life skill during the corresponding sensitive period than any other time in her life. The classroom takes advantage of this fact by allowing the child freedom to select individual activities which correspond to her own periods of interest.

All humans come into this world naturally hardwired to learn mathematics. In fact if mathematical learning is a part of the child’s early experience, the numerical part of the mind goes developed and learning math becomes much more easy.
“Children display a universal love of mathematics, which is par excellence the science of precision, order, and intelligence.” - Dr. Maria Montessori said and recent studies confirm this truth - we are born with a core sense of cardinal number.
It is a common misconception that children under the age of four or five years old lack the cognitive ability to learn early mathematical concepts. In reality, the “mathematical mind” of the child, a core foundation of human intelligence, should be stimulated and developed as early as possible.

The Importance of a Simple Environment 20/03/2023

The Importance of a Simple Environment
We all feel better when the environment around us is clean, neat and looks appealing. It is especially related to children.
When their environment is set up appropriately, it helps them to develop independence, coordination, concentration, and an internal sense of order.
Here are some guidelines to help parents create a simplified home environment which will benefit to their children.

The Importance of a Simple Environment Think about how you feel when your home is a mess—unmade beds, toys strewn everywhere, grimy dishes. Compare that to when your home is clean and tidy. Which brings a greater sense of peace and beauty?

We are all part of groups, small and large. At times we lead, at others we follow. Sometimes we are the helper, and often we are being helped. Teamwork is a social activity, where the child must communicate and collaborate with other team members. It is kind of respecting and appreciating each other’s strengths and working together to achieve a common goal. This is actually a great learning opportunity for kids! Teamwork helps in strengthening the child’s social and emotional skills and eventually improves his overall confidence levels.
In we highly encourage any teamwork development in the classrooms and feel gratitude when children show positive cooperation, as team spirit is an important life skill that is essential for both their personal and future professional life.

For a child to be successful, parents and teachers need to work together to support their learning. A preschool progress report is a valuable tool for educators to track each child’s development in key areas and keep families informed and engaged in their child’s learning outcomes. It covers a child's progress in the main developmental areas of language and literacy, physical skills, social-emotional development, and cognitive skills. Montessori teachers keep a regular record on each child's development, providing parents with a detailed description of their work initiatives, interests and gains. Looking at the “whole child,” we focus on the following categories:

- Behaviour and social interaction
- Communication and language skills
- Work habits
- Perceptual and reasoning ability
- Motor skills – fine and gross
- Environment interaction

Monitoring these skills will help support children's growth into well-rounded individuals and successful learners.

Book a tour to the River House to learn more about the benefits of Montessori approach.
