Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age criteria for LKG?

Our LKG program (Primary Years I) is specifically designed for children aged 3.5 to 4.5 years. This stage aligns with the child's "sensitive period" for writing and numbers.

How is Montessori LKG different from traditional LKG?

Unlike traditional rote learning, we use tactile materials like the Golden Beads for math and Sandpaper Letters for phonics. This ensures children understand the "why" behind concepts before they memorize them.

What is the teacher-student ratio?

We maintain a strict 1:8 ratio to ensure personalized mentorship. Each child follows their own individual learning plan under the guidance of certified Montessori adults.

Are admissions open for mid-term?

Admissions are subject to seat availability in our RT Nagar and Rajajinagar centers. We recommend contacting our admissions team directly for real-time updates.
