Dr. Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori was Italy’s first lady doctor. She, a medical doctor by profession, turned out to be one of the world’s most influential educators of all times. Her scientific bent of mind drove her to observe the children and discover their pedagogical and developmental needs. She found out that traditional education is incompatible with natural developmental and learning patterns. It is oppressive and a hindrance to the wholesome development of the faculties of the mind and the body.

She opened her first Casa dei Bambini (House of Children) in 1907 in Rome.

Like a scientist, she observed her children and developed materials and teaching strategies, which were compatible with their natural urges and drives. She tested her findings and shared them with a good group of friends who would verify and report back. It took her nearly twenty years to say that she had developed a system of educating children. She believed that her method of education could cause complete regeneration of mankind.

She got many recognitions for her work. She was asked to represent Italy in many conferences and occasions. She was nominated thrice for the Noble Peace Prize. She was pictured on 1000 Lire note and a 200 Lire coin of Italy. Leaders, educators, scientists, scholars and people from all fields of life praised her work. She wrote many books on her method and conducted Montessori training programs all over the world. Thousands of Montessori schools opened globally and even after the lapse of more than a hundred years, Montessori system still proves to be superior than other educational systems in every research. It is right when people say that she was “a woman much ahead of her time”.

Why Montessori?

Research has proved that children in Montessori classrooms develop their capabilities in unique ways, and outperform children studying at conventional schools, not just in academics but also in other areas of life. Montessori children seem happier, are less demanding and are easier to live with than the other children of the same age, who have not had similar assistance in their development. Visitors to a Montessori House of Children are amazed to see little children, barely out of their diapers, working with concentration and purpose on activities of their choice. There is order and peace. The sight of a 22 months old, spreading dough with a rolling pin and using a cutter to form the shapes or putting on their own aprons, gathering materials, carefully holding the brush, making a painting that pleases them and attaching it with a clothespin to the drying rack – all with minimal need for assistance, comes as a surprise to adults.

Children are also seen spontaneously cleaning up for each other when accidents happen. They learn to wait their turn, walk around each other without bumping and share the attention of the adult. The look of pride and self satisfaction on the child's face after each accomplishment is a clear indication that inner development is taking place. There is no fatigue in these children. Sense of accomplishment fills them with renewed energy. They seem to be as fresh as they were in the morning, when their parents come to collect them in the afternoon or evening.

4

Montessori vs Traditional Montessori philosophy differs from traditional schools in many ways.

Children enjoy complete freedom of choice and select their own activities from the scientifically prepared environment. Children are grouped in multiage groups spanning two to three years. Multi-age classrooms serve to encourage cooperation, minimize competition, provide opportunities for indirect learning for younger students as they observe older peers, foster self-confidence in students who serve as role models, and provide long-term child/adult relationships. Educational materials are concrete to aid the child to learn order, to discriminate physical dimensions, provide opportunities to teach responsibility, coordination, and interdependence, and to indirectly prepare for complex abstract concepts. Each child initially responds to an inner urge to develop both knowledge and build identity through spontaneous activity which starts the course for individualized lessons.

Montessori with Distance Learning Why Distance Education?

“Whatever man knows today was discovered by someone for the first time outside the classroom�.

By quoting the above statement, we do not intend to undermine the importance of classrooms or learning in conventional setting. Instead, we hope to make a point to those, who believe that learning can only take place in the classroom in the presence of a teacher only, that they may need to reconsider their point of view.

Flexibility The world is turning busy day by day and our distance education programs are designed to serve the needs of busy but success oriented individuals.

Our ready-made fully coloured and highly illustrated training manuals save you hundreds of hours of dreadful work spent on preparing Montessori albums and taking notes of dictations given in conventional Montessori training programs. You can start or finish the course according to your convenience at your own pace.

Quality Our comprehensive, fully coloured and highly illustrated premium quality Montessori training manuals are a life time resource for you.

The manuals are portable, can easily be placed at an accessible location and consulted whenever required, rather than the handmade bulky traditional Montessori albums... carrying which requires enormous muscle power, and consulting them requires a week of mustering up courage as they are heavy, big and normally stored out of sight where they just get dusty.

Affordability Similarly, you save hundreds of thousands of rupees which normally well-reputed Montessori training institutes charge along with travelling and dressing up expenses. Above all, it saves you the most precious thing... TIME... which you may spend positively on important things better known to you.

Demand Montessori trained educators are in critical demand not just in Pakistan but all over the world. Due to a recent wave of parents' increased concern with the education of their children, competition among private schools and a series of researches proving Montessori children to be performing better have soared up the demand for this system and individuals trained in it. There are just a few Montessori training institutes in Pakistan, fewer are the ones who genuinely train people in Montessori and whose diplomas are recognized. They are confined to big cities only and majority of the population interested in becoming Montessori educators does not have access to them or cannot afford them because of the expensive nature of these training centers or other hindrances. Thus, Montessori distance education is the need of the hour in Pakistan.

Our distance education training programs don't just allow you the freedom, flexibility, convenience, cost effectiveness, time saving and better learning but also lead you to a recognized diploma at the successful completion.

Montessori Schooling Solutions

The future of the world lies in the hands of the children. They are seedlings of men and women who will determine either to make this world a wonderful or an dreadful place to live. The early years in the life of a child are crucially important as very rapid development of the faculties of the body and the mind is taking place. Most educationist agree that 70 to 80 percent of the personality is determined during birth to 7 years of age. Numerous studies have proved that undue restrictions and hindrances in exercising the will, caused by elders at home and schools and inappropriate environment (which is usually designed according to the adults needs) cause serious damage to the child, restricts development and future possibilities. Dr. Maria Montessori said, “There is no problem as universal as the oppression of the child." Her system, based on years of scientific observation and experimentation, encourages freedom, creativity, better socialization and wholesome development. The children follow their inner urges which drive them to particular activities at specific times. Only those tasks and activities, which attract the child naturally and bind him to work on those repeatedly with concentration are the ones which are best for him to achieve maximum development.

In short, our children have been suffering at homes and schools due to the ignorance of parents and schools, or due to the unavailability of the suitable environment. After thoughtful examination and consideration of the current educational situation in Pakistan, PMC has formulated the following three plans / solutions to deal with the problem of the oppression of the child. Educators and parents can choose from the options that suits their circumstances.

New School Affiliation Policies 2013 Even at the lapse of more than a hundred years of the development of Montessori Method by Dr. Maria Montessori, as sad as it may seem, the Pakistani schools, in general, are still ignorant of this highly successful and internationally acclaimed system of education.

Ÿ expensive nature of Montessori training keeps administrators from getting their teachers trained in Montessori methodology. Ÿ unavailability of relevant school books and curriculum guidelines is another major factor for schools to stick to conventional methods. Ÿ

The enormous success of our Affiliation Program, during the last three years, has encouraged us to add into the list of affiliation benefits to make this program even more helpful for new and existing Montessori schools that want to start with Montessori or convert from conventional systems to Montessori system of education respectively.

Home School Bundle Offer Protect your children from the horrors of conventional schooling

= Time-tested Teaching Methodology — Our home-school bundle is amazing! Before your child goes to grade 1 (i.e. during 2.5 to 6 years of age), he will learn to read and write; to add, subtract, multiply, and divide; and to explore and discover history, geography, and the sciences. Montessori method has been thriving over a 100 years. Hundreds of modern pedagogical researches have proved Montessori to be a superior and more effective education system than the conventional systems.

A Perfect Homeschool for your own children and those of the neighborhood.

Children are hand-minded — In Montessori almost all learning is through concrete materials and relevant abstract experiences later as we understand that children learn best by doing.

Character development — A respect for self, others and the environment are imbedded in Montessori curriculum, which develops your child into a peaceful and caring citizen of the world.

20 Days Montessori Training — The 20 Days training equips you with the science behind Montessori education, its philosophy, curriculum areas and the skills to use Montessori materials and resources effectively.

Comprehensive program — Step-by-step curriculum, 20 days practical training, hands-on Montessori materials, Montessori inspired syllabus books and resources & templates available on the CD cover the full, three-year curriculum for 3–6 year olds.

Why Home-schooling — Home-schooling young children is an emerging new trend around the globe, and every year more and more parents are deciding to home-school their children during the early years.

Birth to 6 years of age is developmentally the most important period of ones life. Conventional schooling emphasizes mostly on academics, while ignoring the laws of ECD (Early Childhood Development), which seriously damages children for life by hindering complete development.

Montessori, on the other hand, offers the perfect solution to cater to child’s all developmental and academic needs as it is the product of years of scientific observation and experimentation of children by Dr. Maria Montessori. As it is hard to find true Montessori schools in Pakistan, providing children Montessori environment at home is the second best option where you and your child learn and enjoy together.
