Q: Which are the man requirements to be considered to start a house of children? How do
you implement them?

During childhood natural urges are universal and are experienced by every child. However every
child has his/her own experience in these periods. The children who get better experience in
these periods develop more as compare to children who experience less.

As the homes are designed according to adults needs, children cannot have better experience
their because adults stop children a lot of time from doing what their natural urges want them to
do to reach maximum development.

So Montessori is the place where children are able to do what they want to and fulfill their
interest. Therefore, when you plan to start a Montessori, one has to be very particular and keep in
mind numerous things.

While starting the house of children, the most important thing is classroom design. Classroom is
the place where children spend the entire day. All the activities, equipments and Montessori
material should be adequate in number and appropriate so the children can use them.

1. The maximum number of students in each class should be 30.

2. The size of classroom should be 20 square feet per student for early level, 30 squares for
elementary level and 40 squares feet for secondary level.
3. House of children should be child-sized so that he can enjoy all the activities. There
should be child-sized tables, chairs, shelves, science labs etc so that he can enjoy his own
world and fulfill his desires.
4. A Montessori should have proper big windows for ventilation and children can have
exposure with sunlight.
5. As natural environment is very important so to bring children close to the natural
environment there must be garden where children can grow fruits and vegetables.
6. In Montessori student should be allowed to perform activities and they should not face
prohibition in Montessori as they face at home because “prohibition is sweet or bitter,
prohibition is prohibition”.

While starting a house of children, these points should be kept in consideration.

How to implement?

It is very important to consider the requirements to start a house of children but

implementation of these requirements is equally important.

There should be proper implementation to make the students happy.

There are certain ways in which we can implement these requirements:

1. Respect of the children.

2. Focus on individual child.
3. The prepared environment.
4. Polite behavior of teacher.
5. Parents-Teacher meeting.

Respect of the children:

Every child needs respect. Respect is the most essential thing for the children
development. Parents force their children to follow their rules and that’s why children
cannot fulfill their needs. Children’s respect should be the first priority in Montessori.

Focus on individual child:

It is very important to understand that every child’s understanding, learning progress and
growth is different from other children.

The prepared environment:

Another compulsory requirement to implement is to prepare a proper environment in

which children can perform proper activities. Montessori material should be in reach of
children.

Polite behavior of the teacher:

The role model of the student is their teacher so she should have a polite behavior with
her students.

Parents-Teacher meeting:

Proper Parents teacher meetings should be conducted in the Montessori to evaluate the
development of the children. Teachers should guide the parents regarding the nature of
the student.
