According to Dr. Maria Montessori, “the period of infancy, is undoubtedlythe richest. It should be utilized by education in every possible and conceivable way. The waste of this period of life can never be compensated. Instead of ignoring the early years, it is our duty to cultivate them with utmost care.”

One of the special features of the Montessori Environment is the mixed age grouping, where children learn to live and work together representing cohesive community. The older members in the groups help the younger ones when needed and this helps them to recollect and reinforce what they have already learned. It helps to cultivate individual responsibilities and responsibility to the community at large.

It had made a curriculum, which is mainly based on the inner requirements of the child which helps him to develop socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically at his own pace. The Montessori play school and the pre-primary curriculum consists of five areas of exercisees – Practical Life, Sensorial Life, Language, Mathematics, Arts and Cultural.

This forms the basis for all the other activities in the class room. These activities are designed in such a way that helps the child to grow in motor skills, cognitive development, self-confidence and development of personality. It prepares the child for life, rather than school.
