Bahādurābād, Sindh2 Montessori schools near you

It is possible to work with a Montessori training, but it may be preferable for your employability to have a State Diploma (Youth Educator, CAP in Early Childhood, Pediatric Nurse, Teacher...) as a complement. Montessori training primarily delivers certificates that attest to "competences", but only very rarely do they provide titles that legally allow access to certain types of positions. That being said, most institutions that welcome children (schools, nurseries...) claiming innovative teaching methods (such as Montessori schools, for example...) will require you to have at least a certificate of training related to Montessori pedagogy in any case. This type of document and qualification is obtained by completing a Montessori teacher training course. In general, it is important to understand that the Montessori method requires that the teacher adheres to the basic philosophy that underpins the pedagogy that is advocated, otherwise the difference with traditional teaching (public school) may be too great. If you wish to teach in a particular institution that adheres to the precepts defended by Maria Montessori, the easiest thing to do is to make a phone call or contact them by mail or email so that you can know exactly what the profile of the teachers sought by the institution is. From there, you will know exactly which field of study or which training course to follow. To be completely comprehensive on the subject, we would like to provide you with this email address, which could be very useful to you: https://www.montessori-france.asso.fr/page/167407-devenir-educateur-montessori. By following this link, you will have access to a complete database of schools and training courses that are not only available but widely acclaimed. In addition, you will also find on this address frequently asked questions that will allow you to clarify many of the uncertainties you may have, links to news, and a lot of other diverse and varied information on the theme of Montessori pedagogy or institutions.

When we talk about the Montessori pedagogical method, we often tend to think that it revolves around complex concepts, finely articulated with each other. Although this is not entirely false for the second part of this assertion, let us recognize that it is not entirely true since, ultimately, the Montessori method relies on basic foundations, which are not only simple, but also naturally legitimate. These are the 5 principles that can be considered as the framework of the Montessori method: 1 - Respect for the child above all else Montessori believed above all that children should be respected, which was not yet a common practice at the beginning of the 20th century. This famous respect is demonstrated to children by not interrupting their concentration. Furthermore, respect is also shown when students are offered the freedom to make choices, to do things for themselves, and to learn on their own. In the Montessori context, the teacher is a model of respect for all students, emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution between students, and teaches them the ability to observe without passing judgment. 2 - The mind is a sponge, which needs to be taken care of In the Montessori method, the idea that the world is an infinite source of learning and knowledge is emphasized, and every healthy and curious mind should be able to draw inspiration from it and learn from it at every moment of life. Constantly staying connected to the world by absorbing the information it communicates is a way of giving meaning to one's existence, as a conscious and thinking being. 3 - Respect for critical periods The Montessori pedagogy defines certain critical periods during which children are more inclined to acquire certain knowledge and skills. According to Montessori, these sensitive periods last only as long as the child needs to acquire the said competencies. Generally, there is a sensitive period for writing in all children, although upon closer inspection, it varies for each of them. Through observation, Montessori teachers have the mission of identifying sensitive periods in their students, and then providing the resources, knowledge, and skills so that children can flourish during this specific period and make the best of it. 4 - The environment is a factor of learning not to be neglected The Montessori method assumes that children integrate knowledge and lessons better when placed in a prepared, constructive environment that allows the child to do things on their own. Systematically centered around the child, the learning environment should simply promote the freedom of children to explore the materials of their choice. 5 - Self-education, a foundational principle to always keep in mind Self-education is the ability of a child to learn on their own, and is one of the most important fundamental pillars of any Montessori approach. From this principle, it must be understood that Montessori teachers provide the environment, inspiration, advice, and encouragement for children to educate themselves "on their own."

There are many reasons why you might choose to opt for a Montessori education, and that is precisely what we will explore now... - Building a strong bond of trust with your child The Montessori method requires an adult to let go to some extent, as they need to understand that children must take certain risks in order to make progress. This means trusting them, letting them repeat an activity if they are passionate about it, etc. - Independence and self-sufficiency above all else The Montessori method emphasizes the idea that children should become independent and self-sufficient as early as possible. "Teach me to do it myself" rather than "Do it for me" is the idea. The aim is to let children do things themselves as soon as their psycho-motor skills allow it, from kindergarten to high school. You may be surprised to see how much a child is capable of doing at an early age... - Practical awakening, not just sensory stimulation, should start in early childhood At the beginning of the Montessori journey, activities focus mainly on practical life skills and sensory activities. Thanks to their ultra-absorbent minds, children learn, experiment, understand, and deduce... Self-experimentation is at the heart of everything, and without this foundation, which is too often forgotten in traditional daycare or kindergarten, they will have more difficulty being interested in important things such as reading or math. - Learning should be natural and adapted to each child The key is your ability to observe how your child evolves because their behavior gives many clues as to what they need to learn. When you identify a sensitive period (during which the child is particularly inclined to learn a specific thing...), then, if it is properly exploited, progress will be rapid; conversely, if this period is ignored or skipped for some reason, the child will likely have difficulty integrating the knowledge and skills associated with it. - Motivation is personal, internal, and does not come from outside The Montessori method is based on compassionate education and, therefore, excludes any punishment or reward system, as it assumes that children do an activity or make progress for themselves, not just to please anyone... This implies a greater degree of freedom for children, as well as greater self-confidence, and it should also be emphasized that the child's motivation to do this or that must come from within, not be pushed from outside. - Greater serenity for children and the home In general, the Montessori method is considered to bring serenity to the home, especially as it applies to absolutely all types of children (although it should be noted that originally, the method was created for children with cognitive problems; its concrete and sensory approach to abstract concepts allows all children to progress at their own pace). Children learn at a young age to concentrate on their activities, and therefore, they are less likely to be distracted, and they focus their energy on constructive projects. In short, the autonomy they display daily relieves parents who are sometimes overwhelmed by the work to be done in a house that pulsates to the rhythm of the children who live in it! Alternative teaching methods suggested by Montessori have already proven successful with a broad audience of children, in kindergarten, elementary education, preparatory classes, international high schools (particularly for language learning), during extracurricular activities, and for all fundamental learning.

In this particular part, we will take the time to go back over the chronology of a baby and child's life so that we can, by period, go back to the positive points of the Montessori method. Often, we are a little unsure about what is good for a baby, what will be good for them in a few months, and what, on the other hand, is no longer good for them, now that they have grown and developed other psychomotor skills. - From the first few days after birth: it is important not to waste time as soon as the child is born, as you can establish routines and a secure framework. Above all, it is important to understand that infants need a lot of listening. - Around 18 months: at this age, the Montessori method will allow you to accompany the toddler in their independence and the construction of their ego. - Early childhood, around 3 years old: at this stage, the main goal of the Montessori method is to meet the child's needs to develop, gain autonomy, and start apprehending major skills such as writing, reading, and math. - Childhood, between 6 and 12 years old: the Montessori method continues to guide children's growth during this crucial pre-adolescence period, reviewing basics, addressing difficulties, and strengthening autonomy, concentration, and attention. - Adolescence: Montessori understood that at this age, it was time to envisage larger, more ambitious projects, become part of a larger social group, and the method therefore accompanies teens in this direction. We hope that after this general and specific overview of the Montessori method, you now have a clearer and more definitive idea of this particular pedagogy, which, let's admit it, has been increasingly successful in recent decades. However, it is also important to keep in mind that recently, there has been a slight caveat to positive education, as it may have negative effects on the child when not appropriately balanced, such as the development of an oversized ego and an inability to hear or integrate criticism.

Montessori schools are scattered throughout France, with a greater presence in the Parisian, Bordeaux, and Lyon areas in the southeast. Here is a link where you can see the locations of these establishments: https://www.montessori-france.asso.fr/page/381441-choisir-une-ecole. Note that every year, similar or related structures are established, so the map may not be up to date, and a phone call may be a good idea. Additionally, we also invite you to consult a website such as StarOfService, which lists all professionals in a given field, based on where you are searching and where you live. With this very comprehensive and regularly updated directory, you will be able to locate all establishments that meet the standards and pedagogical philosophy of Maria Montessori. This can be done with just a few clicks, and the site will then provide you with the contact details of the establishment (school, college, or high school) which you can use to get in touch and ask any questions you may have.

Before even discussing prices, rates, and anything related to amounts, it is important to note that Montessori schools are indeed more expensive than traditional education, and often even more expensive than many private schools or institutions, and this is perfectly accepted. To conclude this small introduction, we would also like to point out, as it can sometimes be surprising, that the cost of schooling in a Montessori school is not the same everywhere and is subject to variation depending on the school's capacity, its location, etc. It should be noted that the vast majority of Montessori establishments are what are called "hors contrat" schools, meaning that they do not benefit from government assistance and must therefore self-finance, particularly through tuition fees paid by parents each trimester (which justifies a good part of the total price...). We cannot address individual cases, although this would be the best solution, but roughly speaking, to benefit from Montessori pedagogy: - At the very minimum (in regions where fees are the least expensive, often in schools that enroll many children), you can expect to pay 180 Euros per month and per child. - You should expect fees ranging from 200 Euros to 350 Euros for the majority of Montessori schools, noting that most of the time, prices are reduced for siblings or for families that have serious financial difficulties (in order to ensure a certain social diversity within these schools). - You should expect to pay between 400 Euros and more for the most expensive regions (often the Parisian region, but more generally urban or peri-urban areas, such as Lyon, Bordeaux, etc.). In these regions, with such prices, let's not hide it, social diversity is an old forgotten dream that simply no longer exists... Please note that most of the time, in case of half-board, the canteen fees are not included in the rates communicated to parents, so don't make the mistake of assuming that everything is included and ask the question, it will save you from bad surprises.

It is often through word of mouth that we get a precise idea of the value or reputation of a particular establishment, whether it be educational or not. That's why we would tend to advise you to start by asking your friends, family, and acquaintances, as it's very likely that at least one of them has heard of a Montessori school in the area that has a good reputation and whose parents and students have nothing but good things to say about it. If that's not the case, then you can turn to the internet. Some professional directories like StarOfService group lists of schools, colleges, or high schools in your area, as well as many reviews and comments, so don't ignore them, as they can be extremely important in getting an idea of the quality of a particular establishment. Once you have found the right address, make sure to check the fees that are charged, discuss the conditions, and find common ground.

- How long has the establishment been in existence? - What initial training do you and your teaching team (teachers, educators) have? - What are the school fees per term and per year? Can I have a breakdown of the costs? - Is it possible to get a discount if we enroll multiple children? - Will you provide a formal quote before the start of the school year? - What are your availability to meet and discuss all the details?
