Bee Zee Montessori
There was a Pre-school sometime back named Bambini Montessori which was organized by two AMI trained Directresses on a partnership basis. Later on they split up. Bambini remained and the other one is now called Bee Zee Montessori.
My experience with Bee Zee has been very good. I won't waste too much time giving unnecessary details. To make it short , they follow the Montessori system and is a preparation center too. They have a number of successful students who cleared for the renowned school in the city.
When you get your child admitted in any school, the excitement a

Difference between Kindergarten and Montessori System
Okay here is the most commonly asked question “what is the difference between Kindergarten and Montessori System?” You guys can find lots of answers for that here on the internet but what I’ve observed is, the answers have those very difficult terms which not everybody can understand especially those parents who aren’t aware at all of the Montessori system. Let’s start with Kindergarten first as most of us knows it already. It is the very system we have in our schools here. The one we call the traditional system. Where we learn a particular topic of a subject together, have deadlines to su

Part 5/5: White House Grammar School - Lessons Learned
Previous: Part 4/5: White House Grammar School - "Been there, done that"
Just few months before I left job, I was transferred to the main campus as the owner’s assistant. And in that case I came to know more about the ‘inside’ of the school. WHGS has power. Power in the sense that they attract parents towards their schools like a magnet well hats off to me for taking a great number of admissions while I was the admission officer over there.
After all sales talking is somethi

I faced problems with dealing with the teachers as well as most of them were young and inexperienced so a lot of teaching from my side was required but that’s still better than having fussy senior experienced teachers. The teachers were hard working except for few.
It’s every school’s best quality to be able to hide their teachers’ shortcomings as much as possible but there were really some mistakes which can’t be

That’s where my ‘real experience’ happened. WHGS had their second branch just nearby the main campus and I was made the Senior Mistress over there. Junior campus had classes from Montessori to class 2.
I was the Senior Mistress but was also handling a class of Montessori as well as was the coordinator of Pre-Primary. It was tough multi-tasking and eventually the task of being a class teacher was taken from me since I

With me, were another two Directress in the class. At that time, WHGS had only one branch and one classroom for Montessori. The students were divided into three age groups; reception, junior, senior with each Directress and all in one classroom. It was a bit challenging adapting to such an environment where three classes had to run in just one room. But eventually the three of us Directress adjusted gracefully to the changes since

MONTESSORI CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER (MCDC KARACHI)
Okay how many of you are dying to have your child admitted in this school? Montessori Child Development Centre is known to be one of the prestigious schools in Karachi mainly in North Nazimabad. There was a time when I myself dreamt of having my daughter enrolled there, impressed by what I heard and of course their record ’was’ good. But thank God I missed the registration period due to which my daughter now won’t be in that school at all.
MCDC isn’t following the proper Montessori Method at all. Yes, they do have Montessori material work but do not present it as it should be presented. B

Choosing the Best Schools
Choosing the best school for a child is one of the toughest decisions a parent has to make. Since I have a toddler who is about to take her first step to school in May, I found myself in this difficult situation. Yes! Difficult situation I would say because it's a matter of choosing the right future for your child and that he/she should be given in the right hands. There are lots of things going on in my mind regarding this so I thought I should share them to you all, who knows it might help some of you in choosing the "Best School"
The very first thought that occured to me is to defi
