It’s me – Dr S Rekha Reddy
I am a Montessorian with nearly three decades of experience in the Montessori field. I have worked with children for ten years and training teachers since 1999. I am the founder-director of Vidyanjali Academy for Learning, a CBSE secondary school.
I enjoy being with children, for they teach us how to live, forgive and forget. They teach us how not to give up until we succeed and to celebrate our achievement, however small it might be. They help us to be humane and young forever. They do not shy away to share their knowledge – they are indeed the masters of light from light.
Montessori is my passion. The beauty of the Montessori method is that you see the development of children in front of your eyes. It is a beautiful phenomenon of metamorphosis. I love seeing children enjoy their freedom, work continuously without a break, make discoveries, learn, unlearn and relearn. I try to see the beautiful world of tomorrow in their eyes. I rediscover my childhood among these children.
I want to help more or more people go through this experience. The Montessori teacher training allows one to witness and appreciate this experience. It helps an individual rediscover their childhood and know the child’s true nature. It helps create the Montessori Environment, Materials and spiritually prepared to respect children.
I train teachers applying the Montessori Method to help children between 2 ½ and nine years. I train teachers in this regard and feel responsible for society. My NLP techniques and counselling skills help me in enhancing their learning skills.
I have written books on teaching Kannada, English and Hindi to children of 3 to 6 years applying the Montessori Method. I have translated several articles of Dr Maria Montessori from English to Kannada. Sapna Book House has published my translation of Dr Maria Montessori’s book, “What you should know about your child”. I have submitted the thesis “Play in Early Childhood Education” as a part of my Ph. D. degree.
I believe in “Beautiful childhood, beautiful world”. To achieve this goal, I intend to help all those who are involved in the children’s lives, the mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandparents, friends, neighbours, teachers and each and everyone who is in contact with the children
