Pure Montessori Preschools
Productive Minds are the only Actual Montessori Preschools in Gurgaon. Montessori is Essentially about Freedom of Exploration and Self Engaged Discovery. Being confined to a small room following a timetable is the Exact Opposite of Montessori.
Our Mission at the time of launching Productive Minds in 2014 was to provide a nurturing and stimulating play school environment for toddlers to develop their social, physical, emotional, communication and cognitive skills. Play school children need space, lots of it, the liberty to explore this space and a mixed age setting while exploring, to learn from and enjoy with. Aligning Early Childhood Education with The Nature of Childhood is the Unique Achievement of Productive Minds; Children are Children, not miniature adults; Childhood is Supposed to be fun, it Needs to be Fun – Productive Minds makes sure It Is Fun. Zero Stress play school environment unleashes the human potential and raises the learning curve exponentially. Over the years we have been witness to Superlative Achievements by our preschool Children, and they (now our Alumni) continue to Excel in Formal Schools, Leading their Cohort.
What is Montessori
Montessori is a word that has commonly come to be associated with the education of very young children. It is very hard to define a good Montessori play school. However a play school with full implementation of Montessori principles will have the following:
- Mixed age preschool classroom
- A full range of Montessori materials on shelves within easy reach of the children
- Free access to the materials at all times based on the choice of the children
- No Timetable for the day
- Montessori trained teachers
Is Montessori Superior
Benefits of Montessori Preschool Education –
On several dimensions, children at a public inner city Montessori preschool had superior outcomes relative to a sample of Montessori applicants who, because of a random lottery, attended other preschools. By the end of kindergarten, the Montessori children performed better on standardized tests of reading and math, engaged in more positive interaction on the playground, and showed more advanced social cognition and executive control. They also showed more concern for fairness and justice. At the end of elementary school, Montessori children wrote more creative essays with more complex sentence structures, selected more positive responses to social dilemmas, and reported feeling more of a sense of community at their school.
Montessori Preschools are Far Superior to Progressive Playway Preschools.
