To nurture the curiosity, creativity, and imagination born within us all.
To give our children a vision of the universe and awaken their human spirit.
Global Children Montessori School is a small, private Montessori School with one classroom, serving children, approximately of age three to six years. We opened in March of 2003, as a Family Day Care with one child. We grew gradually and because of huge need from the community, we moved into a Community building in April 2005. Mrs. Padma Venkatraman is the owner and the head teacher of the school.

Early in the twentieth century, Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy’s first female physician, developed educational materials and methods based on her belief that children learn best by doing, not by passively accepting other people’s ideas and pre-existing knowledge. It was an innovative learning idea and means the active personal pursuit of many different experiences: physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. With the materials Montessori devised, an environment in which such learning takes place can be created. Montessori believed learning should occur in multi-age classrooms where children at various stages of development learn from and with each other. Her developmentally appropriate approach was designed to fit each child instead of making each child fit the program.
