Montessori Schooling
Our Schooling Program
​The Environment at Dheeksha Montessori is a nurturing and enriching space for children to spend their important formative years of life. Our prepared environment provides immense opportunities for the children to move freely and choose their own work, fostering the development of independent, self-disciplined, and confident individuals. Our trained Montessori adults prepare and update the environment to meet each child's unique needs.
Throughout this transformative journey, our dedicated guides nurture and support every child providing freedom to make choices within clear boundaries. These consistent and respectful limits offer children a sense of security and help them understand acceptable behavior, aiding in their social development. Older children serve as role models for younger ones, fostering a collaborative and respectful community.​​

Five Areas Of Montessori Environment
Practical Life
Young children in Montessori classrooms learn to care for themselves and their environment through activities such as folding clothes, tying shoelaces, buttoning and zipping, watering plants, preparing and serving snacks, getting dressed, dusting, and mopping. They also learn grace and courtesy, practicing polite interactions and social norms. These real-life activities help children work independently, develop concentration, refine motor skills, and prepare for later work with reading and math. As children grow, they participate in more advanced activities, building on their foundational skills.
Sensorial
In our Montessori classrooms, Sensorial materials offer children hands-on experiences that sharpen their sensory perception. By exploring size, shape, color, texture, and sound, children develop keen observation and problem-solving skills. These activities foster a deep connection to the world around them, building a solid foundation for logical thinking and cognitive development.
Mathematics
Arithmetic materials help children build a concrete understanding of numbers, quantities, place-value and the base-10 system which serves as a solid foundation for more abstract quantities, place-value and the base-10 system which serves as a solid foundation for more abstract concepts. The progression from concrete to abstract ensures that children have a deep and comprehensive understanding of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division through tangible experiences.
Language
Commencing with the absorption of sounds, progressing to the fusion of sounds into words, and further advancing to constructing sentences, and moving on to sharing stories, each step nurtures a love for words. Guided by purposeful conversations, inviting reading corners, and grammar explorations, children progress toward meaningful reading and writing, enhancing their understanding of the world.
Culture
In the cultural part of the curriculum, children learn about many subjects like history, geography, science, art, and music. They explore their own community and the world. By finding out how people and places are alike or different, they understand and respect the diversity of our world and all living things.
