For those who are blessed are given the opportunity to have this ‘Key’ or ‘Stone’ and are able to build a successful life.

Learning the correct Phonic Sound

Learning the correct Phonic Sound

In my nine years experience as a Montessori Directress, the major problem I faced while handling kids of age 2.5- 6 years is the phonic sound. We introduce the alphabets using its sounds at the very initial stage and parents at home teach the “name” of alphabets which results to great confusion for the children.

Parents, this is a serious problem which you should consider when your child starts going to school. First of all, you should be aware of what system does your child’s school follow. Most of the schools in Pakistan foll

My Shocking Visits To Schools

As a Vice Principal, I had to accompany our school Principal to different Pre-primary schools in North Nazimabad to give invitations for our school’s Open House.

We 1st visited Fatima Child Development Centre. I was completely disappointed to see the school. From the outside, it looked just like other schools I’m familiar with. But I was completely disappointed to see the inside when I saw dirt everywhere. They had dustbins which was very dirty, uncovered and was placed just besides the canteen table where eatables were placed. The walls were also very dirty with all kinds of stains a

Schools Everywhere

Okay my very first blog is about schools everywhere. Reason? Lots!

What I mean is I can see schools everywhere now, after every house or beside every pan-shop. You will find four to five(atleast 2) schools in almost every street of Karachi.
