What is the Montessori Method?

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that every child learn individually and should be encouraged to work of his or her own pace. The Montessori Method allows children to discover and learn from their own experiences and is based on principles including observation, order, construction and independence in the prepared environment. In a Montessori classroom, teachers observe children as they work, quietly offer guidance and prepare them for their next activity when it’s time to do so. The classroom is designed so that a child can access the Montessori materials easily, freely selecting and replacing them without the need of adult’s assistance.

Pratibha Shende (Academic Director, Shining Stars School)

Hello and welcome to Shining Stars School (Montessori House Of Children) Visitors to our school are often struck by the concentration, excitement, and zest for learning exhibited by our students. Working according to the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, our team of long term teachers and assistants prepare classroom environments tailored to the young child and his unique developmental needs.

They are dedicated to providing a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment for your early learner to grow and learn at his or her own pace. It is our belief that the principles of Montessori enable us to provide a space in which the child’s natural curiosity and joy in learning are allowed to unfold.

Since Shining Stars School was founded by Mr. Samir Shende in 2014, it has been a place where children have been nurtured intellectually, socially physically, and emotionally. Within our mixed-age classroom, the Montessori materials allow for a hands-on approach to learning. The classroom environments aid in the social development of our children, allowing older children to act as ‘’role models’’ for our younger students.

Your precious children are truly our future and this is the time to instill compassion, peace, and acceptance. Most recently, research has shown that Montessori education helps children develop Executive Function; a quality that sets individuals apart from their peers in terms of the way think and function. I look forward to welcoming you personally to Montessori School at Shining Stars School and sharing more of the wonderful opportunities that our school has to offer.
