Introduction to PMC 1
She opened her first Casa dei Bambini (House of Children) in 1907 in Rome.
Like a scientist, she observed her children and developed materials and
teaching strategies, which were compatible with their natural urges and
drives. She tested her findings and shared them with a good group of friends
who would verify and report back. It took her nearly twenty years to say that
she had developed a system of educating children. She believed that her
method of education could cause complete regeneration of mankind.
She got many recognitions for her work. She was asked to represent Italy in many conferences and occasions. She was
nominated thrice for the Noble Peace Prize. She was pictured on 1000 Lire note and a 200 Lire coin of Italy. Leaders,
educators, scientists, scholars and people from all fields of life praised her work. She wrote many books on her method and
conducted Montessori training programs all over the world. Thousands of Montessori schools opened globally and even after
the lapse of more than a hundred years, Montessori system still proves to be superior than other educational systems in every
research. It is right when people say that she was “a woman much ahead of her time”.
Why Montessori?
Research has proved that children in Montessori classrooms develop their capabilities in unique ways, and outperform
children studying at conventional schools, not just in academics but also in other areas of life. Montessori children seem
happier, are less demanding and are easier to live with than the other children of the same age, who have not had similar
assistance in their development. Visitors to a Montessori House of Children are amazed to see little children, barely out of their
diapers, working with concentration and purpose on activities of their choice. There is order and peace. The sight of a 22
months old, spreading dough with a rolling pin and using a cutter to form the shapes or putting on their own aprons, gathering
materials, carefully holding the brush, making a painting that pleases them and attaching it with a clothespin to the drying rack
– all with minimal need for assistance, comes as a surprise to adults.
Children are also seen spontaneously cleaning up for each other when accidents happen. They learn to wait their turn, walk
around each other without bumping and share the attention of the adult. The look of pride and self satisfaction on the child's
face after each accomplishment is a clear indication that inner development is taking place. There is no fatigue in these
children. Sense of accomplishment fills them with renewed energy. They seem to be as fresh as they were in the morning,
when their parents come to collect them in the afternoon or evening.

Montessori vs Traditional
Montessori philosophy differs from traditional schools in many ways.
Children enjoy complete freedom of choice and select their own activities
from the scientifically prepared environment. Children are grouped in multi-
age groups spanning two to three years. Multi-age classrooms serve to
encourage cooperation, minimize competition, provide opportunities for
indirect learning for younger students as they observe older peers, foster
self-confidence in students who serve as role models, and provide long-term
child/adult relationships. Educational materials are concrete to aid the
child to learn order, to discriminate physical dimensions, provide
opportunities to teach responsibility, coordination, and interdependence,
and to indirectly prepare for complex abstract concepts. Each child initially
responds to an inner urge to develop both knowledge and build identity
through spontaneous activity which starts the course for individualized
lessons.

Flexibility
The world is turning busy day by day and our distance education programs
are designed to serve the needs of busy but success oriented individuals.
Our ready-made fully coloured and highly illustrated training manuals
save you hundreds of hours of dreadful work spent on preparing
Montessori albums and taking notes of dictations given in conventional
Montessori training programs. You can start or finish the course according
to your convenience at your own pace.
Quality
Our comprehensive, fully coloured and highly illustrated premium
quality Montessori training manuals are a life time resource for you.
The manuals are portable, can easily be placed at an accessible
location and consulted whenever required, rather than the
handmade bulky traditional Montessori albums... carrying which
requires enormous muscle power, and consulting them requires a
week of mustering up courage as they are heavy, big and normally
stored out of sight where they just get dusty.
Affordability
Similarly, you save hundreds of thousands of rupees which
normally well-reputed Montessori training institutes charge
along with travelling and dressing up expenses. Above all, it
saves you the most precious thing... TIME... which you may
spend positively on important things better known to you.
Demand
Montessori trained educators are in critical demand not just
in Pakistan but all over the world. Due to a recent wave of
parents' increased concern with the education of their
children, competition among private schools and a series of
researches proving Montessori children to be performing
better have soared up the demand for this system and
individuals trained in it. There are just a few Montessori
training institutes in Pakistan, fewer are the ones who
genuinely train people in Montessori and whose diplomas
are recognized. They are confined to big cities only and
majority of the population interested in becoming Montessori
educators does not have access to them or cannot afford
them because of the expensive nature of these training
centers or other hindrances. Thus, Montessori distance
education is the need of the hour in Pakistan.
The module also contains 30 Montessori activities for The module also contains dozens of Montessori activities for
