My teaching or learning philosophy: As an educator, I believe that learning should encompass all-round education for the holistic development of a child. Children should be exposed to learn what will develop them intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and even make them independent adults. According to Maria Montessori, an educationist, and a philosopher, “The child of today is the man of tomorrow”. The child should be exposed to all-round learning to be a better man tomorrow and that is what we offer at SpringForte-Lead Montessori School. SpringForte-Lead Montessori School is a wonderful school to be where talents and skills are harnessed.
