Greater Independence:
Children become decision-makers in their own learning.
Montessori education is an approach created by Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes self-directed learning, exploration, and independence. Instead of relying on a rigid, one-size-fits-all method, Montessori classrooms give children the freedom to discover knowledge at their own pace with specially designed learning materials.
At Study Leaf Preschool, Uppal, this approach is thoughtfully woven into everyday activities to encourage curiosity, independence, and overall development in a safe, engaging space.

When we look at Montessori education and compare it with the conventional system, the differences are quite striking.
In a Montessori environment, learning is self-paced, hands-on, and rooted in real-life experiences. Children explore, touch, and practice concepts in a practical way. In contrast, the conventional system is mostly teacher-led, with a heavier focus on memorization and repetition.
The speed of learning is another big difference. Montessori allows children to move at their own pace—fast in some areas, slower in others—without pressure. Conventional classrooms, however, expect every child to keep up with the same pace, whether they’re ready or not.
Montessori at Study Leaf Preschool, Uppal combines independence, creativity, and problem-solving to give children a strong foundation for school and life. It focuses on holistic development—not just academics—making it one of the most effective approaches for nurturing confident, curious, and capable learners.
