The basic principle of Montessori philosophy is that every child has within him/her the ability to develop their intellectual, emotional and spiritual power to the fullest. It recognizes the potential of the child which is developed and nurtured by means of a Prepared Montessori Environment and working with the Montessori Materials.

The Classrooms have a wide range of activities that bring the world of knowledge concept & skills to the child. When the child works in this environment it helps him to attain a sense of order. Inner discipline & self-control.

Every child who enters Ananta Veda Montessori Environment will embark on their own experience, full of memories from early childhood.

Practical life covers five basic areas to enhance the child’s early development of independence. Care of Person, Care of Environment, Care of plants and animals. Dexterity (small motor control) and Grace and Courtesy. They work on activities such as water pouring, shoes polishing, dressing frames, bead stringing, gardening etc., These activities help to develop concentration, coordination, order and cleanliness.

In the classroom, the child finds materials that are designed to develop the five senses. He learns the tactile and visual discrimination of size and shape. New vocabulary is introduced here (big, little, thick, thin, red, yellow, blue etc.,) This enables exploration and discovery through sensorial impressions. Properly developed, these impressions can bring to the child a sense of order and oneness with his environment.

The Montessori mathematical materials provide a fundamental understanding of the number of functions. The children are first introduced to the quantities and symbols. These are tangible materials so they can actually feel and touch the quantities which are essential tools of mathematics. With these tools they are introduced to the functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They go on to learn the decimal system for reading and working with large numbers, up to at least 4 digits with ease.
