A need to provide accurate information to those who look for information on the Montessori work in India has long been felt. Be it parents who wish to find a Montessori environment for their child of 2½, or those who seek to find information about training courses, most often the information is gathered by word of mouth. At the training courses and some schools some information may be offered informally. Despite the remarkable body of work in the country comprehensive and well organised information is not available.
The Montessori India AMI Alumni (managed by Navadisha Educational Trust) has been established to disseminate educational and professional information to all those interested in children. In this open forum we hope to encourage a fellow feeling and co-operation among the AMI Alumni, to generate discussion, share experiences and exchange professional views. We further seek to foster an understanding of the Montessori pedagogical principles and practice among families and communities.
To bring all aspects of the Montessori effort in India together under a single umbrella is vital to the growth of the work. To recognise the work done in the subcontinent past and present, and to acknowledge the contributions of senior practitioners of this method who have worked for no returns other than the benefit to children is a responsibility we must shoulder. To offer those who seek accurate information must also be a primary goal. The Montessori India AMI Alumni represents a small step in the great effort that must be made. We invite you to work with us.
