Maadhurya - A Montessori House of Children for the economically backward
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008The Indian Montessori Centre and the Hindu Seva Pratishtaana established a Montessori House of Children called Maadhurya in a weavers colony called Nele on Banerghatta Road, Bangalore in 2006. Maadhurya was set up with the intention of making available the Montessori Method of education available to the economically backward sections of the society of this area. The Indian Montessori Centre strongly believes that the Montessori Method of Education is not the domain of the affluent only. In fact, in the long term the Montessori Method of education is just as expensive as conventional education and generally more effective and humane.
Maadhurya has been well received by the people of this area. The Indian Montessori Centre and the Hindu Seva Pratishtaana is thankful to the Montessori Community which helped in the setting up of this House of Children by making generous contributions.
