Our need to nurture our daughters' minds differently led us to discover the Montessori
method created by Dr. Maria Montessori.

Dr. Montessori believed that the first 6 years of a child are the most important and she called this stage the ‘Absorbent mind’ stage where the child
learns everything simply by absorption. (No filters here) and therefore ‘Education must start from birth’ and ‘First the education of the senses and
then the education of the intellect’.

Montessori seemed like education’s best-kept secret! It resonated with us coz we could see that our daughters (like all
children) indeed have an absorbent mind and learnt via their senses.  So, it made sense (pun intended) to give them
natural materials and a learning environment that stimulated their senses.

That’s how we started on our Montessori parenting journey and have never looked
back. Dr. Maria Montessori created the Montessori approach to education over
a century ago. The focus is not on how well a child can memorize or recite, but
rather to encourage the child to think through, understand, and ultimately come up with the solution on their own. Isn’t that what we all want our children to
be able to do as they cruise through life?

But Montessori is known to be expensive with only the elite having access to it and Montessori early learning centres are far and few. Some
childcare centres say they are Montessori aligned but may not be so in spirit. Also, awareness of the beautiful Montessori approach is very dismal that
parents (especially time-poor ones and busy working parents) tend to steer away
from it thinking it’s hard work. And how much can you DIY stuff really? We are
working parents doing full-time jobs, so we get it.

But having practiced Montessori in it’s truest and humblest form  we can see both our daughters’ (who are
distinctly different personalities) unique potential emerge as they become more
self-reliant day by day in their thoughts, words, and actions.

We believe in education being a great equalizer and it is the best inheritance to pass on to
our children. So, we set out with a vision to make Montessori learning easy,
accessible, and most importantly affordable to every child of pre-school age,
so every child has a fair go and is set for success in life in whatever they
do.

Even if you have never heard of Montessori before and don’t have a Montessori early learning near you that’s ok. This is Montessori-at-home, and
YOU CAN DO THIS. You probably do a lot of Montessori ways of parenting
intuitively and with a little nudge from us, you’ll become savvy soon. We are
simply here to be your guide so you can continue to be the expert on your
child.

Love & Light.
