Havens International Montessori School

Havens International Montessori School operates out of two spots here in Yamuna Vihar, specifically C-11/78 and B-1/5. Having two locations nearby keeps us pretty busy, and you’ll often see staff walking back and forth between the two buildings during the day. Since it’s a Montessori school, the rooms are filled with all sorts of wooden blocks, beads, and learning tools that the kids are always moving around. It’s rarely quiet, but it’s a good kind of noise. We don’t have a big corporate team running things; it’s mostly just us teachers and the people who help keep the place clean. Yamuna Vihar is a residential area, so we know the neighbors well, and they’re used to the sound of children playing in the mornings. The buildings themselves are regular houses that have been converted to fit the school needs, which gives it a bit more of a homey feel than a big glass building. We don’t use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. Basically, we just provide a space where small children can spend their day safely while learning how to do things for themselves. Sometimes the paint on the walls gets a little scuffed from the toys, and there’s always a stray sock or a lunchbox left behind at the end of the day. It’s a practical, local place for the little ones in our part of Delhi.
