Prayag Montessori has played a very important role in the all round development of our son â€“Pranav Aditya, who has been a part of Prayag for the past three Years .We enrolled him at Age-3 .
We can confidently say that Prayag is one of the few â€“if not the only Montessori institute which has
1. A full fledged Montessori compliant atmosphere driven by l highly qualified & Montessori certified teaching staff with a healthy student teacher ratio of- 12:1 ,which allows itself to be audited by the Montessori board from time to time.
2.Only school where the Montessori education is also supported by a well developed nature resort called Discovery Village where in the tiny tots are exposed to all the wonderful aspects of Nature & its valuable resources.
3.Well laid out communication process between the parents & the teachers through structured personal interactions , intelligently designed Newsletters , & its website where the activities are listed & events photographed to capture the development of each & every child.
4.Use of technology by deploying Closed circuit cameras where in the parents are allowed to observe their child at work any time ,remotely .
We are quite happy with the value Prayag has added to the growth of our child by deploying the Montessori concepts effectively ,& through the personal care shown by the teachers.
We are happy that we chose Prayag Montessori for our child & strongly recommend the same.

Hi,My son Trivikram too studied at Prayag and it is thanks to them that he is doing very well at school now.They took personal interest in every aspect of my child’s life and I am gratefull to them for that.
The staff and Mrs.Amitha Prashanth are very friendly and it is upsetting to see that their hard work is stated as such.Mr.Sameer I don’t know what you are talking about or if your child was infact a part of Prayag.Your post seems to be with an agenda and that’s not good in the long run. Re-check their website and you will see its 1:12 only. Please dont judge anybody as uncoth. Mrs.Amitha is far from it. If you really met her you would know.
My son loved going to school and he has received a very good foundation.I am very happy with Prayag.

My son is still studying in UKG at Prayag, Earlier he studied at a very reputed school in south Bangalore and we were really not satisfied with it. So we took the decision of changing him to Prayag & now i feel i have taken the best decision for my child. From day one i have only interacted with Mrs.Amitha & i feel she takes keen interest in each & every child.
My son too has evolved emotionally because of the love and attention given by his teacher Ms.Kumuda and has improved drastically in academics.
Thanks to Prayag and the environmnet they have provided to my son, he has become confident and has made many friends.
I am truly very satisfied with Prayag

Hey I agree with you Mrs. Prashanth, I was just going through your post and sad to know that you have experienced the same thing as us.

In fact we took our child in 2009,and put him in Hill View. He is much better there. Ameeta Prashanth, the Principal for one is extremely uncouth,rude.I used to dread the parents teachers meetings. The Teachers would only loads of negative comments about the student and nothing more. I as a Parent would feel so sad for my daughter and regretted every bit of it. The student teacher ratio was 12:1 as against 8:1 listed on the website.
For all those parents who love their kids , please do not go to Prayag.

Hi to all th parents who wish to put their child in Prayag Montessori, Pdmanabhnagar….. Please do not spoil your childs early days of fun and frolic by admitting him/her In Prayag.For one the Principal, Ameeta Prashanth is extremely high-headed and rude. She was very humble when she started the school, but after 5 years of running the institution, she lacks the basic etiquette of either speaking to the parents or the children.She is fine until you enrol the child, after which she would show her true colours.

I had put my son for 2 years,Nursery and LKG. Everyday he is used to hate going to school.For an LKG student the syllabus is appaling. What other top academic institutions would teach for a 1 st Std kid, these guys want to burden an LKG and a UKG ward with the same. Too much focus is given to writing. I havenâ€™t seen my son having fun at all. Its always a Languae hour, Math hour and a drawing hour. No physical activity or a fun activity. Phonetics is taught like a theory subject, unlike with fun songs and games.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication,division,second language is introduced in LKG, so as a Parent you can imagine the agony which the child would go through.The teachers are all hen pecked to Ameeta. Any opinion you express to the teacher is immediately transmitted to the Principal, and pat like a jobless person she would immediately call you for a meeting.

I then put my son in Kumaranâ€™s and he is a happy child today. So to all those parents who want their children to enjoy their nascent years, my advise, stay away from Prayag.
