About Us
Background:
PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini)
is
a project
Pakistan Montessori Concern (PMC) which is registered
under section 32 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984)
with the government of Pakistan. PMC is a multifaceted company which deals in
school franchising, Montessori consultancy,
selling and manufacturing of educational equipment, Montessori
teacher training and establishment of franchised training centers .
What
is PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini)?
PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini) is the
first ever chain of Montessori preschools for children aging 2.5 to 6
years (1.5 years to 5.5 years in certain areas). It utilizes Maria
Montessori's true teaching methods, materials and philosophy in a
safe, hygienic and esthetically pleasant Prepared Environment, which
may be referred to as a child sized world. Through self-selected
activities the child learns at an amazing pace, along with reaching
the maximum development of all mental and physical faculties.
Casa dei Bambini is an
Italian phrase which means House of Children. Dr. Maria Montessori
started her first house of children with the name PMCKIDS (Casa dei
Bambini). Her work with the children in PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini) revolutionized the
educational concepts and startled the scholars of her times. The selection
of this name for our school is a tribute to Dr. Montessori and
her method.
Each
PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini) exposes the reality of renowned but fake
Montessori schools, as their school administrators have been
misleading the parents by advertising their conventional school as
Montessori schools. The reality is that even after a 100 years of
the establishment of this system we do not have true Montessori
schools in Pakistan (apart from PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini)). There are many reasons how the word
Montessori just became a business catalyst for school
administrators. A few have been mentioned underneath;
-
lack of Montessori
training institutes
-
expensive nature of
Montessori training programs
-
lack of general
awareness to what Montessori system actually is
-
high cost involved
in the purchase of Material and setting up the environment
Aim:
Through PMCKIDS (Casa dei Bambini) PMC aims
to establish a true Montessori school in every
neighborhood, and provide international
standard
Montessori schooling with highest level of safety, hygiene and care
at a reasonably affordable fee.
