Rati
My name is Rati and my journey of teaching started when I started tutoring at the age of nineteen. It was an empowering and fulfilling experience and helped me realise that teaching is my passion.
I went on to do a Bachelor's Degree in Finance, and a Master's Degree in Marketing until I discovered the Montessori Method and fell in love with its logical, scientific and philosophical approach. I did my Montessori training from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), and now I am a certified Montessori Directress.
As a Montessori teacher, I enjoy seeing the children gain life-long skills, develop a love for learning and build their personalities. I enjoy teaching in all classroom areas, and I particularly love the Math and Sensorial areas.

Basic Montessori Principles
We have a few basic principles that ensure everyone is safe and can feel confident in their work.
1. Our staff will intervene if something is hurtful, harmful or dangerous. If not, we will observe to see if the children can resolve it by themselves.
2. The adults are role models for behaviour, language and how to use resources and carry out activities.
3. The children are free to choose one activity at a time and use it for as long as they like without interruptions by other people.
4. We help the children learn how to complete a whole cycle of activity (choose work, use it and replace it on the shelf for the next person).
5. Our staff make time to carefully observe each child’s individual interests so we can tailor activities to suit their current stage of development.
