Ankur Montessori House of Children
Bangalore, 560003
Ankur Montessori was originated in the year 2012. Ankur Montessori believed that children learn best by doing, not by passively accepting other people's ideas and pre-existing knowledge. Believing that the young child had more potential than educators realized, she began to develop this potential by teaching the young child through his natural interest in exploring the world. Her developmentally appropriate approach was designed to individually accommodate each child's unique abilities. The goal of a Ankur Montessori is to help children become responsible, self-motivated learners competent in all areas of life. Ankur Montessori method recognizes "sensitive periods" in a child - especially three to six year olds - when he can absorb information from an enriched hands on environment provided to him. There is a "sensitive period" for all the things a child must learn to become a functioning adult - for learning new words, for counting, for using a pencil, for an appreciation of order and more. Ankur Montessori classroom encourages this natural appetite of the child by offering age-appropriate materials to satisfy his intense desire for knowledge. A child who acquires the basic skills of reading and mathematics in this natural way has the advantage of beginning his education without pressure, boredom or discouragement. By pursuing his or her individual interests.
