Montessori Education- Learn and Play

Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) dedicated her entire life to understanding how children develop spiritually, socially, physically, and intellectually. She was an Italian anthropologist and physician. After carefully observing the children, she developed Montessori education methods that include fun learning and play simultaneously in association with self-directive activity. Children work individually and, in the group, to explore and even discover the sea of knowledge and develop the individual’s utmost potential.

She encouraged an experiential learning approach in the classroom that provides a deep understanding of arts, language, science, mathematics, and social interactions. Following that footstep, Mayoor School also brings Experiential Learning Approach into their classrooms, leading to faith-based programs.

The classrooms are specially designed as Montessori classrooms where child development is the primary focus. The classroom perfectly matches a child’s age-appropriate interests and the available learning and playing activities.
