PEACE MONTESSORI

"After we have shifted living from oversea, here is my daughter’s first school in India. We joined this Peace Montessori(“Peace”) when she was 2 years old. At that time, we were looking for a small scale school in order to make her settle down smoothly with expected kind treatment by teachers and other children. Frankly we had visited& inquired many other schools nearby before we decided the Peace, and then finally in the Peace we felt very good inside atmosphere. Of course we had struggled to make her settle staying here at the beginning honestly, however teachers at the Peace have been very perseveringly treating with her and made it by child led. This was very impressed for me and would be purely followed by the educational method of Montessori. Now she does demand to go school, and is very happy to work at the Peace. Relating this point, she got India friends here and started understanding English and local language a little with local song etc., which I wish she to feel local culture as well. In my eyes, with the Montessori philosophy the Peace has, children work individually mainly in addition to separate circle time with all children, which means training to become their independence. And also the Peace has the parent community meal for lunch and it’s great concept for our kids to provide the healthy and safe homemade food items. Additionally, even though I mentioned the Peace is small school, they have many field trips nearby and special events such as Sport day, Sleepover, etc. Finally I would recommend the Peace for not only Indian but also foreign children as international Montessori school, and we appreciate the team of Peace very much !"

"My son goes to Peace Montessori. We relocated from the Philippines where he attended a montessori school previously. He transitioned very smoothly, thanks to Peace following the Montessori methods quite accurately. The teachers and helpers help kids adapt to the new ambiance very easily. Apart from this, there is the community meal plan which helps kids adapt to different cuisines (vegetarian meals) and children learn to not only eat independently but also a wide variety of nutritious foods. Peace does field trips, outdoor classes, and many activities which have been great. I am looking forward to my son exploring more with Peace. Keep up the good work Team Peace."

"We were looking for an alternate method of learning (Montessori or Steiner) for our 2.5 years daughter and found Peace Montessori school (after searching extensively) in Hiranandani, Powai. We are quite happy and satisfied with the overall growth and development of our child after she started attending the Peach Montessori. The school follows genuine Montessori method and does not mix up other methods of teaching (like many other schools that run on the name of Montessori). Our child actually looks forward to going to school everyday. Some of the advantages we found with going with Peace Montessori are listed below: 1) Since the school follows purely Montessori method, it provides a natural and self learning environment to every child 2) The teacher student ratio is good and they don't take a lot of students just to increase numbers. Personal attention to each student is commendable 3) Emphasis on practical learning rather than just mugging numbers and alphabets 4) There is ample arts and craft activity that the child is exposed to and we really like this approach as it nudges the creative mind of the child 5) Teachers at Peace are also very experienced and passionate for their work. We also feel completely safe to send our daughter to the school 6) Above all, the school method teaches the child to be independent in all aspects, which will really be helpful in the long run for the child as they grow up to be more confident and independent individuals We would be happy to recommend peace Montessori to anyone looking for a genuine Montessori school.🙂"

"Peace Montessori did a great job in moving to online teaching environment. We could really see the amount of effort the teachers put in to move everything online, including providing necessary materials to each student. We could not remember even a single day where there was any kind of hiccup, everything was managed pretty smoothly. It was our daughters last year in Peace Montessori and we were pretty concerned how the transition will take place for her since we had to move online, but the school made sure that she had complete support and attention to transition to Grade 1. It is amazing that Montessori syllabus was actually covered so well in the online mode. The teachers at peace are extremely adaptable and accommodating to child's need and we are so happy that our daughter got the opportunity to start her educational journey at Peace, be in offline or online. Special thanks to Jyoti and Deepali for giving more than 100% for students' sake."

"My son is in peace in his final year. We joined peace when he was 3 years old and we had just moved from London. I was looking for a school which would mean a smooth and easy transition for him. When I saw peace I was instantly impressed with the environment. Although the space looks small, it's well organized and very peaceful. It's an intellectually stimulating and a genuine Montessori environment and the teachers are warm, friendly and confident leaders. The school being a Montessori is truly child led. My child always had the freedom to choose activities laid out without any pressure. He was allowed to explore, ask questions and develop at his own pace. The last 2 years have transformed him into a very creative, patient and independent individual. He takes great pride in doing self-care & household work independently. Practical life tasks like cleaning, dressing, cooking, chopping, ironing, caring for nature, recycling are usually perceived as chores but they form the foundation of Montessori in the early years. it has not only helped increase his concentration span but also inculcated a sense of responsibility. As regards academics, there's a lot of material:- scientific and Cognitive for language & math. My son has learnt to perform many complex tasks due to exposure to the Montessori materials & the way of teaching. Children in this school are treated with respect, Grace & courtesy that are the essence of the Montessori philosophy. The school not only encourages freedom for kids but also for parents. There is so much transparency between the parents & school that any & every concern is put to rest. My parenting got a completely new perspective. They are an ocean of knowledge and upbeat with contemporary teaching techniques & modern parenting challenges. Jyoti, Gauri, Deepali & the team are extremely dedicated and passionate about their work. They have a special relationship with each child and personally work on every child's progress. The school truly believes in working together with parents in the interest of the optimum progress of the child. They don't have an outdoor play space but they do arrange outdoor field trips quite often when possible. And personally, for us the other benefits of Montessori methodology & the school outweighed the space issue. We have developed a great bond of trust over a period of time. I'm so thankful & grateful to have found a home away from home for my son. We'll miss them sorely."
