Hastam Montessori

About

At Hastam Montessori, I believe kids learn best when their hands get busy. "Hastam" is Sanskrit for "hand" - that's our vibe. Young children are all about exploring, not just sitting and listening. If they're messing around with real stuff, that learning actually sticks.

What Happens Here

I don’t do the usual teaching style. Here, I guide kids aged 2 to 6, giving them space to follow their interests. No forcing, no rushing. If a child gets obsessed with pouring water or building towers, I let them. That’s how they figure things out for themselves.

• Our classroom is set up so everything's at kid-height, easy to reach and choose.
• Activities cover practical life (think pouring, cleaning, snack prep), sensory play (Pink Tower, Knobless Cylinders), language (sandpaper letters), math (beads, counting), culture and geometry (maps, shapes).
• Every day is about hands-on learning for preschoolers.

All Ages, All Together

Kids of different ages share one space. The older ones help out the younger - it’s not forced, it just happens. It’s a mixed-age Montessori group, and honestly, it’s amazing watching them learn empathy and leadership naturally.

Gentle Start, Natural Setting

Starting preschool is tough, so I let parents hang out those first days. The campus is safe and has a green vibe - terrace garden, sunbirds, snails, and a play area with a climbing wall and trampoline. It’s homely, not stiff.

Real Talk

The Montessori classroom environment isn’t for every family. If you want strict schedules or heavy academics, this isn’t it. But if you like the idea of self-directed preschool activities and practical life skills for children, you’ll probably feel at home here.
