Touch Internationale Montessori

ABOUT

Overview

We started in 1992, with a small group of young children. Strict time schedules, deadlines, interactions restricted to only recesses, textbook knowledge with little or no exploration, every child on the same page in a teacher driven classroom, limited recognition of individual potential, rote learning, pressure of examinations, loads of homework, where was the fun of early childhood that is meant to explore and learn, thus developing a lifelong love for learning? We need to bring them out of the rigid layers of learning that exist in our society. The Montessori Method of education is increasingly gaining momentum in our country. People are becoming more aware of the folly of depriving a young child of rich and fun learning experiences. Every child has a unique potential and personality that needs to be nurtured in the first six years of life. The Montessori system recognises each child's individuality, thus guiding to reach unique levels of physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual development. Learning becomes fun and exploration becomes the key to everything. The beauty of education comes alive through a natural love to learn all things meaningful and purposeful. SPOTLIGHT : TOUCH INTERNATIONALE MONTESSORI SCHOOL We have over the last 7 years had children with special needs approach us through their doctors and psychologists for a Montessori intervention in their learning. And it has been found beneficial with marked improvements. Mrs Narayanan always felt that keeping aside the Montessori method, a teacher has very little credit to herself when the child who succeeds is an intelligent one, but the credit truly goes to her if she can make a difference in the life of a slow learner or someone with special needs. With the help of the method, we have had great success with children who come in the early stages as border line cases for autism, slow learning, delayed speech, etc. We work along with their doctors and speech therapists.
