When I was looking for a school for my son, I was not just interested in how good a school is at academics (afterall, he must study his whole life) – but also that the school should lay strong foundation – both as an individual and as a student. And I can confidently say that Mont Ivy provided just that.Right from the day my son started going to Mont Ivy, I could see his interests in varied things, being able to work/play together with other kids, doing his own chores at home, being responsible (yes at that age!).His interest in Chess started at Mont Ivy and he continues to do well in chess spending hours together per week on his favorite game. Guitar classes, early reading sessions etc. were very well-planned activities.He has a beautiful handwriting (he got an award for best cursive handwriting in his new school) and the credit goes to the Mont Ivy team who started from the basics of ‘how to hold a pencil’ and then providing the right guidance. He is good at math and also enjoys reading.Children are given meticulous practice for grade 1 admission interviews. Thanks to many mock interviews conducted and regular feedbacks and assessments. He got selected in every school that he gave interview for.I can confidently say that my son loves to study, play, read and enjoy outdoors and I have no doubt that he will excel because of the strong foundations and positive attitude towards learning that he has acquired at Mont Ivy.Aparna and Paras are very approachable, open for suggestions and believe that it is the collaborative efforts of parents and teachers which help the child in overall academic and non-academic development.Per my opinion, Mont Ivy is the perfect Montessori school that any kid can start his learning from!Cheers to the team Mont Ivy.

When we started to search for preschool for our son, it was going to be his second school because we had to relocate within Bangalore. I didnt knew exactly what I wanted, but I knew what kind of school will NOT suit my child. And after visiting a few schools in and around our new home, we came across Mont Ivy. Their reviews and website piqued my curiosity and after visiting their facility and having detailed discussion with Aparna about their pedagogy we were sure that this is something we were looking for our kid. The school facility is very warm and open, spacious and well-lit. It is very well maintained and kid-friendly.Mont Ivy is a very progressive and open-ended growing place for kids. Montessori method is the most natural or non-taxing way of developing childs awareness and curiosity. Aparna and other aunties know what they are doing and are very confident, firm yet gentle when handling kids.The methodologies followed at Mont Ivy are very effective and forms solid foundation for kids. They run some very open-ended programs for kids like guidance from an author to write stories, kitchen gardening, Young Author program. They even have dramatics, guitar, chess classes going on in their school (pre-pandemic days). Reading programs and book library and show-and-tell activity makes kids much ready not only for interviews at grade schools, but give them courage to handle spotlight confidently.The best part is this journey is very individualistic and matches your kids pace and aims to bring out best in him/her. We as parents are very much satisfied to have enrolled our son in Mont Ivy and they did a fabulous job in grooming his foundation, curiosity and reading skills. He is very fond and proud of his school and Aparna aunty. They will make parents partners in this endeavor and time-to-time give feedback and take suggestions. I found Aparna who will hear your concerns and address them. She is very keen about childs overall development and pays attention to his/her behavior equally.Mont Ivy is very true to its spirit of Montessori methodology and it is truly an exceptional program.We wish Aparna, Paras and the whole Mont Ivy all the very best and wish them lot of success ahead.

The best Montessori school in locality. The values and strategies they follow are very effective and impressive. During lockdown, kids are missing school, still they are doing great job.Teachers too equally great and supportive.

Well, its quite hard to measure the value good education and good school can bring to every child, primarily because of following 2 reasons -1. Its an age of instant gratification where people are chasing immediate result. People seem to forget that any meaningful and lifelong value/skill follows an organic way to coming into existence, be it scholastic/cognitive values like verbal skills, numerical skills etc. or co scholastic/behavioral skills like empathy, manners etc.2. Every child is different and has different inclinations and influences towards the different subjects and modes of learning.In Mont Ivy, the founders, Aparna and Paras along with their team uses methodologies, processes, space and structure so thoughtfully that it creates and environment for each kid to foster his/her learning in an intuitive and individualized manner while at the same time Mont Ivys learning ecosystems ensures that the feedback is continuously being captured and monitored for each student which is fed back to create a individualized learning path for each child, maximizing their learning.I had my doubts initially but after an year of observing the positive overall changes which the school is bringing, I could understand and appreciate the efforts of people and system of Mont Ivy bring and I believe this is what every child must experience and get exposure of.Without even an iota of doubt, I highly recommend Mont Ivy Pre-Schools and also wish and request the founders to expand their pre-schools and enter higher in K-12 segment to replicate the success stories and help impact the world for the better.

Our daughter, Prisha, attended 2 years of preschool at MontIvy. And without any hesitation I can say that these 2 years are going to have very positive and lasting impact on our daughter’s life. The only reason for only 2 years, was our relocation. We wish our daughter gets this kind of environment throughout her academic life.I still remember, when Prisha turned 2.5, we started searching for schools for her. We had searched all the preschools in neighborhood, read almost all reviews about each of them, shortlisted some, and then personally visited at least 10 of them. After this rigorous exercise, Montessori pattern and MontIvy was our clear choice. Some of our neighbors who had their similar aged kids in other schools, had later switched to MontIvy after observing the confidence and progress in our daughter in just few months. We were so right about our decision.Prisha not just liked all the activities as part of her daily routine, she loved her teachers and premises equally. The benefits of Montessori pattern about - 1. focus on the overall development of the child, including some of the very basic but important life skills, activities like cooking, music, dance, exercise, public speaking, reading books, etc. 2. one to one interaction between child and teacher, 3. individual progress tracking - are truly lived here.These practices lets the child become independent and nurture her creativity and imagination. The school is excellent with respect to safety features, hygiene. Apart from the regular curriculum the school also has regular educational trips that give kids the real world experience.Our daughter often surprises us with her knowledge of various concepts, her vocabulary, imagination, independence and confidence.We could not have asked for more!! Thank you Aparna, Paras & team Mont Ivy. All the best.The parting memories Prisha carries with her almost everyday, everywhere…

As a diligent mom, I knew exactly what I was looking for when I was scouting for a preschool for my daughter. I checked out a lot of schools in Whitefield but the minute I met Aparna and Paras and had a tour of the school, I made my choice. Mont Ivy Preschool doesnt just provide wonderful environment but also a great education.Teachers take the time to get to know their students as whole individuals. The best part is the child is always given a one on one learning experience where the teacher with the child, lets the child independently explore different outcomes for a particular task. They nurture the child’s “thinking out of the box” quality, helping the child to have a creative imagination. They give emphasis in the areas where the child needs to develop and perform best to their ability. They make sure the school is always maintained clean, they also incorporate it to the children in the form of activities.My child has completed 2 years, there was not a day where she didn’t want to go to school. My daughter had a significant improvement in her vocabulary from the time she joined to now. She developed her writing skills as well with the help of Ms Aparna and Ms Rashmi.The only reason we left the school is due to our relocation plans. She misses everyone at school. I highly recommend this school for those kids who are going first time to a school. It was a wonderful experience for my child. Thanks to all their staff members for doing their best to provide safe and happy environment to Shrika. She enjoyed every part of it mainly because of her teacher she lovingly calls “Appa Aunty”.Thank you so much for all the support, it’s been a pleasure getting to know you all. I’m grateful and thankful for everything. We’ll surely miss you all.

I had my son study in Mont Ivy for a year recently and I am extremely happy with the school. He attended the school when he was 3.5 years old till he was 4.5. His development on multiple fronts was extremely good in that time frame. More than that, the way the founders went about the process was amazing. I was more than welcome to discuss any issue about my son with the teachers and I always went back with practical solutions that allowed me to help my kid.To give a background, my son attended a school in Singapore prior to his experience in Mont Ivy and post his leaving the school, he is currently studying in the USA. I am able to compare and contrast his development across multiple schools. I would recommend the school to any parent who is considering a wholesome education for their kid.

Mont ivy lays a good foundation early in childs academic life. We are completely satisfied and convinced about our decision to send our child to Mont ivy. Our child often surprises us with her knowledge of various concepts thanks to Mont ivy. Even the teacher who assesed her to give admission in her next school were surprised with her knowledge. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the team of Mont ivy for doing wonderful job

Both my kids attended Prep1 at Mont Ivy and were happy with the teachers and all staff members. Loved the enrichment classes such as Guitar and Chess. Attention was given based on the childs requirements. Both Aparna and Paras are understanding and flexible. Appreciate your service.

My son went to Mont Ivy Preschools for 2.5 years and were very happy with what and how he learned.Firstly, Montessori method itself is very kids friendly as it allows them to explore themselves by engaging in various activities of their choice, at their own pace. There is no peer or time pressure as each kid works on his/her own activity instead of a teacher instructing 30+ kids do the same thing – whether one likes it or not.Secondly, about the school itself, we’re little cautious initially as school was relatively new. After few discussions with Aparna and Paras, it was obvious that they understand a lot about education, kids, their psychology and that of parents. That was the most important factor in getting our confidence in a new school. Despite being confident about their methods, they were open to discussions and trying few different things.Other good things about Mont Ivy were - their focus on safety and hygiene, including a comfortable and safe transport; flexible holiday schedule, allowing us to plan our holidays throughout the year without worrying about missing any fixed syllabus; other activities like cooking, music, dance, exercise, public speaking, reading books, etc.Overall, we’ve seen good development of our son in 2.5 years. He always liked going to school and his teachers. Most importantly, he has become curious and inquisitive about things, is able to work independently and shows lot of maturity for his age. If you’re looking for a great start for your young one, I’d highly recommend Mont Ivy.

We enrolled our son into Mont Ivy at the age of 18 months. Since then for the next 3 years It has been one of the best experience at Mont Ivy for us. The school inculcates a very good sense of creativity, discipline and liking for the subjects in the child. The practical montessory activities help in develop the thinking and analyzing ability of the child. There are regular parent teacher meets which lead to periodic assessment of the child’s progress. The school is excellent with respect to safety features, hygiene and its teaching environment.Apart from the regular curriculum the school also educates in terms of other activities such as Drama, music classes, reading books, kids gym - which my son enjoyed thoroughly. Also regular educational trips give the kids the actual real world experience.The teachers and staff are very good and extremely cooperative. I would like to thank Aparna, Paras, teachers and other staff members for the excellent growth and school environment that they have created.

Our son has been studying in Mont Ivy for the past three years and it has been an excellent experience for both my son and I. The teachers and staff are pleasant and always greet you with a smile.What sets Mont Ivy apart from other schools is their diligent attention & unwavering care to every child. By providing an encouraging and fostering environment they enable the child to learn and grow at his own pace. The teachers help every child feel special and help instil in them the confidence they need to move on to the next step.Frequent reviews on the child’s progress, Montessori teaching methodology and a safe & hygienic environment are some of the additional factors that have never caused us to re- think our decision of admitting him there. Kudos to Aparna, Paras and all the teaching and non- teaching staff for making the school what it is today.

My first experience as an employee was so different and enjoyable as a Montessori Directress at Mont Ivy that it was a very difficult decision to make for me as well as Aparna, Paras and the whole team when I had to quit due to our migration to Canada.Everyday was not the same and it had its surprises and pleasures in my life in mingling with the adorable children who made me still younger, body and soul always fresh.Aparna and Paras are friendly employers and not for a moment were we treated as employees, but were a part of the family.I only wish that I could have continued in Mont Ivy.

My son had been in Mont Ivy for past 3 years for his pre-school.Mont Ivy has never let me re-think on my-choice.. I feel this pre-school has delivered beyond my expectation in nurturing my kid with regular reviews, feedback on improvement aspects as well as a special effort to equip the child for a regular school towards the end of the course.Keep up the excellent work.. Best wishes..

My daughter completed 2 years of schooling at Mont Ivy. We have searched for schools for at least 4 months and visited around 10 popular pre-schools in Whitefield but after seeing this school we felt this is the best.. we were so right with our decision,1. Transportation - just amazing. GPS tracker, helper in each vehicle, AC cars as transport vehicles, a slot that works for you and a door pickup. One can’t ask for more. Drivers Manoj and Vinod are also very caring.2. Learning - Montessori based learning, customised learning based on child’s needs, school pushes the bar on creative thinking, exposure to story telling, chess, guitar etc. at times my daughter surprised us with her vocabulary..3. School environment - lots of freedom for child to operate, safe interiors, hygienic environment, sand pit area, amazing teachers, helpers and other staff. Sahasra loves her teachers - Priya, Lakshmi, Veena and helpers - Kavitha.4. School administration - always approachable.. Paras and Aparna are more like friends than administrators.. they have always helped in guiding us with the right developemental plan for Sahasra..We never had to worry about Sahasra while she was attending this school. We really wished the school had higher grades so she could continue.

A simply wonderful experience!!!! We could not have asked for more !!We moved to Whitefield around two years back and did a thorough search for the school and finalised MontIVY. Our son had attended another Montessori school prior to our move here and we hoped to have a good transition. When we arrived at the school for the tour, the atmosphere was so calm and there was no sign of chaos. We instinctively knew this was the school we wanted our child to attend. This school has exceeded our expectations on all counts. The classrooms are filled with warm and supportive community of teachers and students. The learning is not focused on drills and memorisation but creating opportunities for children to become independent thinkers! Mont IVY has a deep respect for children as unique individuals, and they provide for childrens social and emotional development. I have watched my son grow in more ways academically, emotionally and socially than we could even imagine in such a short time. We highly recommend this school.

Though there are many great schools in Blore, if youre looking at Mont Ivy, be assured that this school is among ONE OF THE BEST youll find. The teachers, and support and administrative staff care first and foremost for your child and nurturing in him/her a love for learning. They are responsive to any concerns of the parents, though youll be hard pressed to find anything to be concerned about. The school has top notch security features, and, though small, a lovely outside play area.My son attended for two years; we only left the school due to relocation from Blore to Colombo. He was sad to leave his teachers and friends, which speaks to the success of the school in creating a fun learning environment. He developed by leaps and bounds under the direction of Aparna and Rashmi.I am grateful for the time my son had a Mont Ivy. Kudos and best wishes to the staff.

Hello Paras and Aparna,I just wanted to send an email to say thank you for doing such a fabulous job teaching my son.Its been a 2 years journey with Mont Ivy and We as a parents are extremely happy and satisfied with the overall growth of Shivansh.The kids are continuously challenged and encouraged to do their very best and the best thing is that; it is all done without exerting pressure on the kids.Shivu just love his school that he even want to come in the weekends.I highly recommended Mont Ivy for parents who are looking for a more structured environment for the overall growth of the Kid and not just another school without vision and values.Thank you so much for all the teaching and caring and love that every teacher has offered to Shivansh.I really wish ki aap Mont Ivy ko expand karo aur take it to new height ..so in future when we return back, we see our children studying in Mont Ivy primary and higher secondary school :).Regards,Shivus parent

I have had the best experience with Mont Ivy, on every front. Right from the response to my first email, in fully formed, grammatically correct sentences (something I had not experienced in many other schools at my first point of contact) and the right level of engagement, to the very personal, everyday vibe of Mont Ivy, it has always delighted me. Paras and Aparna are devoted to the cause of creating a Montessori school with very high standards, and it has been evident in the way the school is designed, the layout of the class rooms, the schedules for the little ones, their deep involvement with the students and above all, a sense of trust and professionalism. This was my son, Abirs first school, and it is testimony to how good Mont Ivy is, that even today, when he has moved countries and is in another school, he still remembers Mont Ivy as his favorite school, and often recalls his time there. The care Aparna took to help settle him into school was reassuring, particularly. Their system for security, the transport service management, observation sessions for parents, timely communication and overall accountability are all plus pluses from me. I would recommend Mont Ivy wholeheartedly to any parent - it is a wonderful preschool with a large heart and excellent Montessori practices.

Hi All,I had a very nice experience during my association with mont ivy.They are very different from the conventional indian play school.They teach kids about practical aspects of life. My daughter was very happy going to school. Even during times when she was sick she insists she want to go to her school. Mont ivy has very well trained staff and all the essential equipments necessary for Montessori school. The school and its staff maintains high standards of hygiene.The team is very approachable and open to sugesstions.RegardsShyam

Our daughter started going to Montivy at the very young age of 15 months only. She had barely just started walking. We are glad we took that decision because it set her foundation just right!Having Aparna Mehta as her teacher was very valuable to us. She has been taking personal care of all children at Montivy. It feels so good to know that the management are themselves highly engaged and strive to do excel at every opportunity.If you would like to start a solid foundation for your child in the Montessori space, this is it!My daughter recently had an interview at one of the renowned schools at Bangalore (also, Montessori) and the way she took on all of their activity zones was just amazing to watch.she is all grown up now, is 3 yrs old and if we were in Whitefield we would still be sending her to Montivy.Thanks Parag and Aparna and wish you the best!!
