Its that time of the year when one has to run helter selkter to get your kid into school… Me and N have both been discussing it for sometime now and thankfully we have finally come to conclusion that we are sending Ojas to a Montessori till he is 6 and then with 1st he will be going to a school.
This way we also push the discussion between conventional schools/the new age schools some more time… I know its a risk but its a risk we are ready to take after reading up about the Montessori system.
According me the formative years i.e 2-6 are the most important years and its extremely important to be in a good place at this time.
So for us the hunt to a good Montessori has begun, the only -ve point here is that I am not able to find a good one near our house…
So all you guys any suggestions for good Montessori near Marthahalli/ORR/brookefields area? Please mail me or let me know in the comment section…
Even if you know anything is Kormangala/Indira Nagar would be fine because that is our second preference
PS: I met up with lovely girls on Friday…. Iya, Swati, Puja and Pixie… and what a blast was had…
Go read here, here and here about the meet… And anyone who laughs on my pic in Swati’s post… u are banned here 😀 Girls I love u…. we bloggers rock

OMG !!

no I aint laughing at you… I m jealous
What fun you guys must have had… !!!!!
mujhe nahi le gaye…. 😦
he he come come come to blore hitchy we will have a blast
I agree with your theory monu… Hriday also goes to a similar kind… we will look for a better school now next year…
I dont want to pressurise him at all in studies.. I dont even want him to study too much… better off if he can do something that entertains him …. sports, music, art, craft… something like that would be so much better…
ya ditto here hitchy, if he likes studies his choice but I dont want him to grow up thinking thats the only option in life
I am sure my son is going to love studying.. just coz I dont want him to do that..
my mom wanted me to study and i hated… it .. lol…
i guess its natural.. !! lol…
Lol……….on the pic. It’s such a cute on. 🙂
Glad u could reach a decision on the school issue. That’s a tough decision to take & at times we need to fight conventions.
yes very tough indeed
Hehehe…I didnt laugh at the pic! It captures the moment so well……..amazing women meeting up and talking it up and having a nice time!
yes we had a blast ships
All the best to you, on your school hunting mission. Yeah, I do agree with the Montessori method and I think you’ll get a gud one for Ojas !!!
What great fun you girlies had !!! Me very JJJJJ !!!!
thanks uma!!!
yes bloggers rock!

love ya Monu! hugs! 🙂 🙂
pixie u run before i hit haan 😛
yes touchwood

Vibgyor seems to be a VERY popular choice in our complex. Dunno if it is montessori though.
they follow a mixed kind of approach… its in my list though but there is a age problem there with ojas lets see
The pic was too good, a candid camera style 🙂
I believe the same for my kid’s school too !
Atthis age, rather than pushing him into formal studies, I want thim to explore his interests, what he likes, learn to make new friends and talk to people withiut any hesitation. and somehow, in a formal school, I think the kids gets to buried under the pressures to everything they need to learn.
Good luck in your school hunting !!
thanks parul… glad to see so many people thinking like this
I think the pic is superb! Simply superb.
And the only 2 good schools I know of in Bangalore are Cathedral High ( where my nephew studied) and Royal Concord International ( My bhabhi’s son goes there. She claims its a superb school)
let me check on Royal Concord thanks re
I laughed out loud at that picture.
And good luck with the school search
see i told u not to laugh… go away me blocking u 😀
Muahahahahahaha 😈 I am laughing at your picture. Am I banned? Am I? Am I? Am I?
Oju is already ready for pre-school. Aww….chweetie pie! I have no clue about the schools there but I am sure other B’lore bloggers can help you. All the best, Monix.
he he yes u are banned don sols is banned… na now that cant be 🙂
i know its freaking me out… they grow up soo soon na
BTW who took the picture? 😀 Good one!
Of course I did and thats why it featured where it did
the culprit is here 😦
Oooh! its time!!! ((((hugs)))) it makes sense, kids absorb and replicate most till the age of five. it makes much sense to choose carefully right now. i hope u find a nice montessori for darlin Ojas close by!

he he he we were talking abt u A 😉
Lol… Good response me likes 😀 you all the more 😉
My God….so much to think about and decide when you have a kid no?…me frighten…and running away from here……no cents to contribute to this….but i know where to come too for advice when the time is ripe…..oopss right :D……(no, Hitchy…I’m NOT talli….it’s only 4.00pm :D)
But I understand the anxiety and need for a good school….I’m in that process for my sister for college right now and it is a huge task!!!
All the best Monix..I’m sure you’ll find the right school soon.
LOL time is ripe… me likes that
ha ha ha
and ya u are welcome re… u girls plan something soon I am so ready to be a doula
There is so much to start thinking of when you have kids! More than taking care of them at home, guess the outside the home sees more issues.
One of my colleagues sends her son here ” Prerana Montessori House of Children” which is in Indira Nagar.
Good luck finding a great montessori soon for Ojas.
oh yes dear… its the home as well as outside re…
hey thanks that was in my list too with reco will surely check it out
Monika I like IB International World/Schools , although there is a risk that the teachers are still using traditional methods in these schools. If you do find a good one near your place it’s great. Now with CBSE system being over hauled, I feel we will see improvement here too.
I read about the fun you guys had when you met, let me go see the pics at Swati’s. I promise not to laugh 😆
oh yes me likes them too….but they are for the later stage I mean now i am looking for a montessori
and IHM u broke ur promise right????
Okay, I saw the pic, and I am pursing my lips…. not laughing!
You girls are really having fun aren’t you???
u too goofy??????? 😦
and yes we are having total fun
i read the warning and then went ahead and saw the pic and what am i doing?
Laughing 🙂
Hope u find a nice montessori for Ojas..
ufff no one takes me ser…..
Hi Mona! You may consider this too http://www.rootstowings.in/home.html
i know that km and its pretty near to my house too but its nursery based system and i am keen on Montessori based… BTW know anyone there? considering u mentioned this when u are from delhi 😀
Hmm no ideas about that area actually, but yes will ask around. Meanwhile have you checked with the kids in your area, (as also with D?) where do they go? Don’t rule out the small setups ok? Sometimes those are better!
yes yes i am doing that 🙂 and i agree that sometimes the small setups are better but u do need reassurance from someone going there na
Regarding the P.S Wow, what an awesome picture 🙂 Glad you had so much fun! Blogging sure does rock ! 😀
he he 🙂
🙂
we are gonna let Cubby continue next year at same place for sure. so he might go to a regular school by the time he is 4 i guess. lets see show this goes. for this year we get to chill while other parents run helter skelter! :p
cheers!
good good if he likes the place nothing better
and formal school in my view shld not start before 4 too
