Quality Education is a right of every child. While the term quality can be interpreted in different ways, proven methodology and educational philosophy like Montessori System of education can work wonders anywhere in the world irrespective of the social background of a child. After having worked in schools from cities, semi-urban and rural areas for several areas now, we are completely convinced to take this wonderful philosophy of education to rural areas. Starting Montessori Resource Centres is our first step towards taking Quality Education to children in villages.
A resource centre is a place where children spend their time in a meaningful way. Unlike play-way method, a Montessori resource centre starts teaching life skills to children at a young very age to make them feel confident about themselves. The methodology adopted is scientific in nature where fun is quite natural rather than imposed. A trained adult takes care of the holistic development of every child in the environment. A child who comes to a resource centre, experiences freedom with responsibility and is also provided with adequate opportunities to reach his/her full potential.
These resource centres provide education of the contemporary kind, relevant and holistic starting with the toddler age groups who will attend Montessori sessions along with their parents. On completion of 3 years of age, they will continue in a primary Montessori classroom in the same premises. The group of children and families will continue to grow with us in our efforts to plant progressive education and responsible living. The next plan is that, it will expand to be a centre for community dialogue and development as well. From our past experience, we have developed a model that works with all stakeholders in a child's education, in order to make learning useful and a lifelong experience for the entire community. We have started two model Resource Centres in two different districts in Tamilnadu.
