During the first days of your child's schooling at Burgeon Montessori, we permit or encourage either of the parents to stay with the child (probably 3 to 4 days).

It would be best if your child could be with us without parents, but we know that sometimes this is difficult, especially with young ones. We understand that your child may feel insecure with us in the initial days and it would help the child to settle better if he gets to see us interact.

Hence parents are requested to be with us during these initial days to help the child feel secure and comfortable. We start the school a few days earlier for the newly enrolled but when our senior children come back the new parents are not allowed into the environment.

Children are welcomed by our Directress and also by the adults of the environment. School starts at 09.30am . Adults arrive prior and prepare the environments for their respective children. The children enter the environment by greeting the adults with a 'Namaste' and removing their footwear before entering the environment.

Work Time

• Once the children walk into the environment they go and take their mat, unrolling it and choosing the material they want to work with, be it Exercises of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language or Arithmetic.
• The adults are there to help and guide the children only when necessary. Work starts from the minute the children walk into the environment and they know that if they feel hungry at any point of time, they have all the freedom to take their snack bag and have their yummy and healthy food at the snack corner.
• Once they finish they can either go back to working with the material or join in the group presentations be it Language, Geography or Biology.
• The children take a break for rhymes , story telling or interactive zone or can work with anything they want , like material or clay or colouring or writing work.
• Yoga is part of our curriculum for all groups. We work Monday through Friday from 09.30 am to 2.30 pm.
• On Tuesdays and Fridays, it is usually Art time for all children. While Nursery & first years have Craft & Art Activities.
• Second & Third year children have Science experiments, Fireless cooking, Art & Craft as their extracurricular activities.
• Culture is a strong binding force in societies and every child is rooted in a culture that influence their life style and attitude towards life. All major festivals are celebrated at Burgeon which develops patience , understanding and respect for a harmonious social living.
