This is the first thing a potential family will see. This collection is designed to tell the story of Hastam Montessori, showcasing our core values of community, focused learning, independence, and our gentle, nature-filled environment.
A Gentle Start: Our Community Welcome
I believe starting preschool should be a gentle transition. Parents are welcome to stay during the first few days, creating a bridge of trust between home and school. It's also heartwarming to see older children and alumni naturally guide the younger ones, fostering a true sense of community.
Hands-On Learning: The Montessori Method in Action
Here, learning is an active, joyful process. I provide a rich environment where children follow their own curiosity, working with materials that teach everything from practical life skills to complex math concepts. You'll see children deeply focused on activities like pouring, building, sorting, and preparing their own snacks.
Our Prepared Environment & Learning Materials
Our classroom is intentionally designed for children. Everything is at their height, inviting them to explore independently. I have curated a wide range of classic Montessori materials for sensory development, mathematics, language, geometry, and cultural studies, all crafted to be beautiful and purposeful.
Active Bodies, Active Minds: Play & Movement
Physical development is just as important as intellectual growth. Our safe, dedicated play area includes a custom-built climbing wall, a trampoline, and other age-appropriate equipment. These activities help children develop gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and strength, all while having fun.
Our Connection to Nature
I believe children are spontaneous observers of nature. Our campus is a living classroom, with a terrace garden, visiting sunbirds, tiny snails, and beautiful flowers. Children get to see life cycles up close, from watching a bird build its nest to harvesting vegetables from our garden.
Our Philosophy & Your Child's Next Step
My approach is guided by the wisdom of Dr. Maria Montessori, focusing on the critical early years from birth to six. I partner with parents to ensure the foundation built here prepares children to thrive in the next stage of their education, and I am proud that our alumni go on to some of the best schools in Bangalore.
