Stage I : 0 to 1 yr 6 months
The first three years of life are the most significant ones in the development of the potential of human beings.“The small size of a newborn and its inability to take care of itself invokes our loving attention. The infant’s physical development is phenomenal and apparent and inspires our care and attention. Yet a more profound but less obvious development takes place within the child.” This period is known as the ‘Spiritual Embryo’.

Stage II: 1 year 6 months to 3 years
The idea is that the second embryonic period occurs after birth during the first three years of life when the child’s intelligence is formed, when the child acquires the culture and language into which he or she is born. It is a period when the core of personality, social being and the essence of spiritual life are formed. It is widely recognized, that as adults we are largely the product of our first two years of life, a time of which we have no conscious memories.

Stage III: 3 years to 6 years
The 3 to 6 year old child undergoes a process of self -construction. The application of the Montessori philosophy and the specifically designed Montessori equipment aids the child’s ability to absorb knowledge and continue on this path of There are four main areas in the Pre-primary program: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Mathematics. MMA also emphasizes on Creative Arts, Music, Science, Geography and Cultural Studies. Assimilation of one’s own culture is the child’s central developmental drive in the first plane of development. MMA’s Pre-Primary environment serves this drive. abundantly, bringing the world to the child. Globes, maps, songs, land forms, collection of pictures of life in different cultures and much more is offered at MMA with the aim of helping the child to grow as an individual appreciating the larger context of his or her world. Auxilary: With the guiding principle of all-round development, MMA lays equal emphasis on, out of classroom activities.

The children are exposed to life around them in a practical manner, so that they are not limited to theoretical and ‘bookish’ knowledge. Our approach stimulates the minds of children that will help them to think and act independently.

Keeping in line with our approach several class trips, house visits, practical demonstrations and other out of the classroom activities are organized on a regular basis.

House visits are organized to various classmates’ houses to develop social skills. These visits help to nurture concepts of social etiquette like how to behave; share and care for each other while having friends over or visiting their peers.
