Dora Montessori School

If you head over to Kovaipudur in Coimbatore, you’ll find Dora Montessori School at S 25 in Subbulakshmi Nagar. We’ve been operating out of this spot for quite some time now. It’s a nice area, a bit away from the main city noise, which is good for the little ones. We follow the Montessori way, which means things look a bit different here than in a regular school. We have lots of wooden toys and materials spread around the rooms. It can get a bit messy during the day, but that’s just part of how kids learn, I guess. We try to keep things organized, but with thirty small children running around, it's a constant battle. Our staff are mostly local women who have children of their own, so they understand the patience needed for this kind of work. We aren't looking to expand into some giant chain. We like the size we are. It lets us actually know the names of every parent who walks through the door. Sometimes the garden needs weeding and the gate squeaks a bit when it's rainy, but we take care of it as we go. It’s a practical place for families who just want a solid, down-to-earth environment for their kids. We just do our best every day and hope the children enjoy their time with us. It’s a simple life here in Coimbatore.
