VIVEK HIGH SCHOOL, MOHALI INTRODUCED THE MONTESSORI TODDLERS PROGRAMME FROM APRIL 2014 under the guidance of. Ms. Meenu Sahi.
The most
important period of life is not the age of university studies but the first
one, the period from birth to age six. For this is the time when man's
intelligence itself, his greatest implement is being formed. But not only his
intelligence: the full totality of his psychic powers… at no other age has the
child greater need of an intelligent help and any obstacle that impedes his
creative work will lessen the chance he/she has of achieving perfection."
- Maria Montessori, creator and founder of the Montessori Method.
World
over, the Montessori method of education is recognised as one which nurtures
self-education through self-discovery and self-correction with purposeful work
to develop the five senses in children through multi – sensory materials that
develop specific skills.
This
blends in beautifully with the philosophy and ethos of Vivek High School which
imparts education by providing opportunities for self-discovery, multiple
channels for self-expression and a larger structured environment which
encourages independence within it.
This
pedagogy is essentially a model of human development geared towards nurturing
children into more peaceful, respectful and thereby helping to create a
gentler, kinder world.
