Little Feat Montessori House Of Children

ABOUT

Overview

We have specially designed the Montessori environment for our children. It is a world scaled down to a child`s size with low shelves that showcase a wealth of learning materials. The adult-in-charge move unobstrusively through this child-space, working with individual children or small groups, assisting each according to their needs. Within a flexible schedule, the day is spent as follows: a long block of time used for individual or small group activities with the Montessori material, periods of time for play; a time for snack; a time for large group activities where the children enjoy music, dancing, singing, sports activity, art and craft, and story telling. Each day is special. We have art, story-telling, drawing, painting, dancing, sports activities etc., field trips, development of vocabulary, science experiments, activities in geography, history, botany, zoology, looking after self and environment, conversations, picture reading. All the above activities are conducted with the child`s active involvement. This is possible because the child chooses the activity himself and thus is self-motivated to complete what he has chosen. The child is free to move around, express his opinion, choose the activity or just simply hang around and observe other children at work. Started in 1995, we at Little Feat are passionately committed to Dr Maria Montessori's philosophy and method of helping young children grow. Little Feat is situated on 3700 square feet of land. The red and white school house is a newly renovated, bright, airy, and safe space consisting of classrooms, bathrooms, separate visitors center, snack corner, and craft and music room. Little Feat, in keeping with its commitment to the best quality of instructions and care using the Montessori method, is perhaps the only school to have a large shaded play ground for your child's use. Fitted with a swing, see-saw, slide and related equipment, this space offers a unique opportunity for children to exercise, play and interact with others outside of the classroom. Special classes for Music and Dance are organized to cater to the needs of the child of two to six years of age by qualified Montessori trained teacher with special qualifications in the respective field. Little Feat has also tied up with Jump Bunch India who provide sports and fitness activities which are age appropriate. These activities help build confidence and encourage team play. We insist on a close relationship with parents and parent-teacher meetings are held at regular intervals throughout the year. Half-yearly reports are prepared to help the parents be informed on their child's activities and development. There are no grades, or other forms of reward or punishment, subtle or overt. Assessment is by portfolio and the teacher's observation and record keeping. The test of whether or not the system is working lies in the accomplishment and behavior of the children, their happiness, maturity, kindness, and love of learning and level of work.
