Our Programs

Duration: Monday - Friday Timings: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

01

Parent-Toddler

This program helps the toddlers attending the school for the first time to settle in comfortably in company of the parent. It is an opportunity for the parent to experience the Montessori philosophy first hand. It allows the parent and child to be part of the prepared environment and experience age appropriate activities. The program has no fixed duration. Once the child is comfortable and walks sturdily can be moved to the toddler program.

02

Toddler

This is a first experience of a child to explore schooling independently. The focus on the Toddler Program is to cultivate their growing need for independence, order, sensory exploration, movement and language. As with any Montessori environment, the children’s activities are set out to entice the child to discover and explore. Toddlers work independently, or in small groups, and are introduced to each material at the appropriate time for their individual development.

03

Pre-Primary

The absorbent mind at work! The preschool is an attractive and carefully planned environment, geared to the size, pace and developmental needs of children aged 2 and a half to 6 years old. This child-centered community encourages children to integrate all aspects of their personality and to develop a good self-esteem. The activities in the classroom are divided into several areas. There are the practical life activities intended for exploration of sounds, shapes.

We welcome kids into our 2-4’s program based on their birth year.

Why us

The best early learning experience

At Peace, we believe in helping children become independent learners. Working within mixed-age groups, they learn important social skills and cultivate empathy. They have the freedom to explore their environment, work with and learn from particular materials for as long as they wish. They choose how long to engage with an activity and their process of concentration is never disturbed - the value of which was considered sacred by Dr. Maria Montessori. Activities are introduced in progression and with each child's individual style of learning and pace in mind. They are encouraged to repeat the activity and interpret its outcomes themselves. The adults in their learning environment do not correct any 'mistakes', rather, by repetition, budding problem solving skills and perseverance, the child is able to figure it out on their own, all while developing language and number literacy because of the materials. Instead of being praised simply for a particular outcome, the child's effort is acknowledged by the adult so that they may feel ownership, and so, be mindful of their actions. They are treated with respect as they slowly build the foundations of adults that will shape the future of the world.

An activity is introduced individually to every child catering to his style of learning and then the child is encouraged to repeat the work and deduce his own outcomes. Mistakes are not corrected by the adult , child figures it out himself through repetition thus helping him build his problem solving , analytical skills, and perseverance.
Language and number litracy is a byproduct of all the efforts that the child is making while working with materials.
Children are working on building their character block by block and hence are never disturbed by the adult.
We do not believe in praising the child for work done rather their effort is acknowledged by the adult leading to feeling of ownership of their action. This slowly translates into child being mindful of his actions .
Children are treated with a lot of respect as they are constructing themselves – the adult who will shape the future of the world.

Empathy

Creativity

Resilience

"Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems."

- Gever Tulley

My vision of the future is no longer people taking exams and proceeding then on that certification . . . but of Individuals passing from one stage of independence to a higher [one], by means of their own activity through their own effort of will, which constitutes the inner evolution of the individual.

Our Curriculum

Our classroom (also known as prepared environment) is divided into several areas characterized by low open shelves, one for each area of the curriculum: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language & Culture.

Practical Life

Practical Life activities are designed to engage children in real life daily routines. This helps children develop a care for themselves, the environment and each other. These activities will strengthen their fine and gross motor skills and lengthen their concentration span through repetition of work. Children learn how to do things from pouring and cooping, using various kitchen utensils, dressing themselves, tying shoe laces etc.

Mathematics

In the Mathematics area children are introduced to materials that encourage their continuous learning in the world of numbers. They are taught quantity, solving problems in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as counting to infinitive numbers. Children go from a very solid understanding of math to a more abstract concept. For example, the children understand the difference between 1, 10, 100 and 1000 because they have felt it countless times through concrete materials

Sensorial

The objective in the Sensorial area is to aide in the development of the child’s 5 senses. Materials are designed to isolate a single character of each sense. The child will experience the discrimination of weight, differences of color and different intonations of sound through proper use of the materials. For example, colors are not taught by having the child think of everything that is blue – blue jeans, the sky, icebergs, a picture of a blue cartoon elephant hanging on a wall. Colors are taught with the color tablets. The color tablets are all exactly the same except for one thing – their color in the middle. This helps take away the confusion for the child and helps them to focus on specifically what blue is.

Culture

Cultural activities expose the child to basics in geography, history, and life sciences. Music, art, and movement education are part of the integrated cultural curriculum. Children at the early childhood age are very detail-oriented & our science materials help them learn the various body parts of a bird or the life cycle of different animals. Children learn about the diversity of the world through an integrated curriculum of history & geography.

Music & Art

Music & art are an integral part of our environment. Singing, dancing & arts and crafts provide opportunities for your child to express his/her own uniqueness. Painting, color mixing, collage and paper folding are just some of the activities provided to encourage creativity and just to have fun!

Spiritual Development

Yoga & meditation routines promote a healthy regimen & allow the child a profound realization of self. To instill the concept of a green & clean environment, we encourage the children to care & nurture for plants in our environment.

Peace Montessori has been a huge support for our family. We enrolled our son when he was just over two years old, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. He has become more independent, focused, social, and communicative, making these early years much smoother for both him and us. What I appreciate most is that the school doesn't just nurture children, it also guides parents on adopting a Montessori-inspired, child-led approach at home. The teachers are warm, patient, and provide the perfect balance of structured learning and open-ended exploration. Most importantly, Peace Montessori is an authentic Montessori school that genuinely follows Maria Montessori's philosophy, unlike many schools that simply use the Montessori name. If you're looking for a nurturing environment that truly respects a child's natural development, I highly recommend Peace Montessori.

Here’s the rewritten review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A Place Where Children Truly Blossom When we first enrolled Shaunaak at Peace Montessori, he was our tiny, wide-eyed baby. Today, he stands before us as a confident 16-year-old, brimming with dreams — and a fierce passion for becoming a professional badminton player. That journey from a little boy clutching our hands at the school gate to the driven, compassionate young man he is today has many chapters, but the most formative ones were written right here, in the care of his beloved teacher, Jyoti Ma’am. From the very first week, Jyoti Ma’am had a remarkable gift for connecting with Shaunaak. She didn’t rush him or compare him — she observed him, understood his rhythm, and guided him with patience and warmth. The Montessori philosophy truly came alive in her hands. Whether it was threading beads, fitting puzzle pieces, pouring water between containers, or tracing sandpaper letters, she made every activity feel like a joyful discovery. What we as parents only understood later was that these weren’t simply games — they were purposefully crafted experiences, quietly building his fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and power of concentration from the very roots. Long before he turned five, Shaunaak had learned to hold a pencil with confidence, button his own shirt, cut carefully along lines, and handle objects with a steadiness that surprised even us. These feel like small milestones, but they built an extraordinary foundation. We see those same steady hands and sharp focus today, every time he picks up a badminton racket. But what touched our hearts most deeply was the way she shaped his character. She taught him to wait his turn with grace, to tidy up without being reminded, to apologise sincerely, and to cheer for his friends as loudly as he cheered for himself. Nobody delivered long speeches about values. Instead, Shaunaak simply lived them — every single day, in that classroom. And they became a part of who he is. There is a rare kind of teacher who doesn’t just fill young minds with knowledge — she shapes young souls with love. Jyoti Ma’am is exactly that. The seeds she sowed in those early years continue to bloom in everything Shaunaak does — in his kindness, his grit on the court, and his quiet confidence in life. We are endlessly grateful to Peace Montessori and to Jyoti Ma’am for giving our son not just a strong start, but a beautiful foundation for life — not just skills, but character; not just learning, but wisdom. If you are looking for a school where your child will be truly seen, deeply nurtured, and lovingly prepared for the world — look no further. Highly and wholeheartedly recommended. — A forever grateful parent of Shaunaak

This is a 'real' Montessori school - Jyoti and her wonderful school teams come with strong preparation and knowledge to mentor and guide our younger students. My daugther since joined the school, just comes happy and so emotionally balanced.

As a parent who truly believes in the Montessori philosophy, finding Peace Montessori has been a blessing for our son. We started when he was just 14 months old and have had a happy year at Peace. What I love most is how calm and intentional the space is. Everything is thoughtfully designed to support the child, without rushing or pushing. And along the way, we’ve also found a community of like-minded parents who value the same respectful and gentle approach to parenting. As a Montessori guide myself, I can vouch for Peace being the only authentic Montessori school in North Goa. I’m honestly so grateful we found Peace. It feels rare to come across something that follows authentic Montessori, and it’s given our parenting journey such a meaningful start 🙂

Our son attended Peace Montessori for almost 2 years, and it was a wonderful experience. The school offers a calm, mindful and well-organized environment that helps children feel peaceful and nurtured while doing their work. We’ve witnessed such beautiful growth in our son—especially in his emotional regulation and sense of responsibility. We, parents, learned so much from Jyoti on how to apply Montessori principles at our home. And she’s been always available when we needed her advice and guidance. We’re grateful that Peace Montessori was part of our family journey!

The space has been carefully designed to create a peaceful, engaging and nourishing environment for young children, that nurtures their curiosity and independence as they develop new skills. The founder, Jyoti, is highly experienced with the Montessori approach, and embodies these principles in the kind, loving and gentle way that she engages with each of the children; honouring their unique needs and potential as she does so. We are very grateful to have this option available to us in North Goa, and couldn't recommend it more highly!

Peace has been a safe haven for our twin boys for over 6 months now. They are very happy there and Jyoti- the founder has a deep understanding of the Montessori teachings and is very committed to the children in all ways.

Peace Montessori is a true Montessori school; the first I’ve found in North Goa. The founder/director, Jyoti, is very experienced and well trained. She’s doing an exceptional job hiring and training. All of the teachers and supporting staff are warm and clear with the children and are upholding the Montessori methodology. My son is highly engaged while at Peace Montessori.

Located in a quiet residential area in Porvorim, Peace Montessori School in Goa has been a true blessing for us when it comes to commuting every day. For our bilingual daughter, it’s become a second home—a place where she feels safe, understood, and inspired. We've watched her settle in with incredible ease and blossom into a confident, curious, and joyful learner. Jyoti, the founder, brings deep knowledge of Montessori philosophy and is truly dedicated to the well-being and growth of every child. All the teachers are incredibly caring and patient with each child and their unique needs. Highly recommended.

What parent say
Our son has had a wonderful experience at Peace. The team at Peace Montessori (headed by Jyoti Ma'am) is extremely experienced and dedicated. The focus from day one was on holistic development and sensorial learning, in line with the true Montessori principles and methodology. The specially designed activities helped my son feed his innate curiosity. The teachers encouraged my son to try new food (he is a fussy eater) and got him interested in doing new things. Special thanks to Jyoti Ma'am, Deepali Ma'am and Gauri Ma'am!
