We have a strong foundation in "Dr Maria Montessori's philosophy",
and through our 'Prepared
Environment', we, provide unique learning programs that incorporate all aspects
of traditional Montessori teaching methods.
Our mission is to provide a high-quality Montessori
environment that enables children to begin their learning journey through life.
Our undertaking is cultivating a life-long love of learning in our children,
inspiring them to realise their full potential. Our children will grow to be
confident and knowledgeable learners who are healthy in mind, body, and spirit
so that they go on to make a valued contribution to the community and the wider
world.
Dr. Maria Montessori, medical doctor and educator, made the
child not only visible but central in her development of a method which evokes
and strengthens the child’s highest potential. Every child moves through
successive phases of physical and mental development, identified by Dr.
Montessori as “Sensitive
Periods.”
According to Montessori, each child has an inner-guide
that leads them to the work in the classroom that they most need at that moment
to further their own development. “The guide exists within them from the first
moment. To care for, and keep awake, the guide within every child is a matter
of the first importance”. Key to the Montessori approach is respect of the
interests of the child to allow them to choose the work they are most
interested in and provide the opportunity to explore materials at their own
pace with guidance and support from the teachers.
Deeply rooted in Montessori education is the
importance of helping children to build confidence and develop a sense of
independence and self-motivation both within the classroom as well as in their
lives outside of school. This approach has been successful for over 100 years
because it encourages and draws its principles from the natural development of
the child regardless of his/her level of ability and learning style or pace.
Montessori children grow to be kind, responsible, patient, cooperative, eager
to problem solve, self-motivate and with a love of learning.
Our curriculum follows, ‘The Montessori Method of
Education’ that guides the curious minds of children helping them to
gradually make sense of the world around them. The 'Montessori Environment’ are
beautifully designed where children work with child-size materials and learn to interact and
work with others as they explore concepts of learning with confidence and
ease.
"Montessori Method" aspires to shape young minds and nurture their
souls. Education at 'Kilkari Montessori School’
goes beyond books and exams. Our school environment provides both physical and
mental space to grow,
explore, discover, think, question and reflect. We believe in our motto of Inspiring Lives with
Meaning.'
Our trained and experienced
qualified teachers observe each child's interest and developing skills. They
plan and implement an individualised programme that allows each child to
actively engage in learning and develop cognitively, socially, emotionally and
physically.
At 'Kilkari Montessori School’, keeping
in mind Dr. Maria
Montessori's philosophy, which is 'Peace Education', an organized and a beautiful
'Prepared
Environment' is prepared to help the child achieve their highest
potential like, concentration,
normalization, freedom within limits and social cohesion, building a
mini-community.
Our goal is to help the child
learn joyfully all areas of learning, social, emotional, critical thinking, problem solving,
hands on learning, to increase attention span and concentration.
The focus is not on marks and
percentage. We are here to build all the skills required for lifelong learning not just for
schools, an environment in which the child will succeed bringing peace and harmony for themselves and to the community they live.
Children in the 'Montessori Environment'
spend days in intentionally 'Prepared Environment' which nurtures and
support to develop theirinner potentials to the highest. We nurture the seeds of
tomorrow and build a future that reflects the limitless potential with every
child.
This 'Enriching Environment’ supports the child's 'Independence and Will' with utmost joy.
Furniture’s are made child's size and spaces for peaceful rest to create an ideal environment for the first steps towards independence and autonomy.
The tools are made non -toxic, colour coded, sensory stimulating which supports creativity.
A 'Prepared Environment' which is enriching can have a long term positive impact on the child's cognitive abilities.
Founder and Director
Chikkla is an ardent supporter of education and holds the Montessori Method in high regard for its enormous capacity to deliver quality education.
She had worked in the financial industry before becoming a teacher, but she soon realized that the work she was doing did not gave her satisfaction. Later, she took a leave of absence from her work to care for her father, who was ill and suffering from dementia. It was during this period that she learned about the Montessori approach to education via a family member. And from that point on, no turning around.
For a couple of years now, Chikkla has worked with children’s ranging in age from 12 months to 6 years old. She enjoys learning from the children’s around her, which is why she adores becoming a Montessori teacher. She finds great satisfaction in watching them grow into self-sufficient individuals and in the way they happily pick up new skills in various contexts without feeling compelled.
She graduated from the University of Mysore with a degree in Economics and from Indian Montessori Training Center in Bangalore with a diploma in Montessori primary education (2.5–6 years).
