Why Casa Bambino Montessori?

I joined Casa Bambino Montessori soon after getting married in 1994, having moved from Brazil to India. The school children, the parents and the Casa team, together with my newly formed family, made me feel very welcome in this amazing city and country. I have since then tried to emulate the example of my dearest mother-in-law, the founder of Casa Bambino, and her ideals of equality, discipline, freedom and independence in children. It has been a challenging and very satisfying experience that I look forward to every day.

It has been my pride and joy to watch the children enjoying music. I teach them concepts through singing, movement, action songs and percussion. Our yearly concert gives the children the experience of performing on stage.

One must be an essential part of the children’s formative years, nurture them as they develop basic life skills, while also allowing for individual learning differences among children interacting in the same group environment.

Twenty-six years ago, I taught a boy who never expressed his feeling towards me. On the last day of school, he hugged me tight, cried and said I don't want to leave you. A few years later, I met the same boy and realized that teachers live forever in children's hearts. His gesture touched me deeply, and I felt that children have a lot of selfless love and express themselves in different ways.

In these 30 years at Casa, I have realized that we can build our classrooms, prepare the environment with precision and care, and do our best but the child is the only person who can take credit for his development.

There hasn’t been a single day where the innocent smiles, curious minds and pure hearts of my dear children have not brightened up my day. It has been and always will be an absolute honor to be a part of their growth story.

The children’s smiling faces enlighten my day. It is beautiful to converse with them, listen to their wonderful stories and experience their unconditional love. I prize watching the babies blossom into confident children.

Every Teacher's Day, one of my old students sends me a personal voice message remembering the great time he had at Casa Bambino Montessori school. That confirms my belief in creating a heart-to-heart connection with the children.

My favorite time of the day is when my children arrive in the classroom eager to share their new experiences since they have last seen me. These children are not just names on my class list but become a part of my heart.

I really enjoy working with children and find it incredibly fulfilling to go to school every day. Watching the children grow and develop using the Montessori principles of learning is truly rewarding.

For me, happiness is seeing a smile on the child’s face as he learns. I believe that each child is special, and it is important to let the child learn and grow at their own pace. It gives me immense satisfaction and joy to be able to guide the children.

My experience at Casa Bambino has given me continual professional and personal satisfaction. I have seen toddlers transform into responsible individuals, developing skillsets and confidence to handle practical life.

Watching the children enjoy the Montessori Environment and be independent has been a beautiful journey. My biggest happiness is being a part of their individual growth and helping them blossom.

Working at Casa Bambino has shown me that it’s the children who take the lead in their metamorphosis. As a teacher, it is my privilege to mentor these children in their positive learning experiences at school.

I believe in approaching each day with a positive mindset, gratitude and a desire to learn. The best time of my day is when I receive warm greetings from the children and see their happy faces. Teaching keeps the inner child alive in me!

My favorite time of the day is when the children enter the classroom with a smile and a readiness to learn. Being a part of their individual development and helping them grow and blossom is my biggest satisfaction.

The most satisfying moment for me is when the child has an accomplished smile on their faces and a sparkle in their eye when they finish their task. This is why I love working at Casa Bambino Montessori.

It’s a different kind of therapy to be with the children. They are my stress buster. The best time of the day is to see them interacting with each other & during any activity when they enjoy to the fullest.

It is satisfying seeing how attracted the children are to the Montessori material. They arrive in the morning eager to work with the activities, and we get so involved with them that we forget all our problems just by looking at their happy faces.
