Sigaram Montessori

Sigaram Montessori is a Montessori-based preschool located in Kottivakkam, along the East Coast Road (ECR) belt in Chennai.

Online profiles and social-media channels describe it as an environment designed specifically around Maria Montessori’s philosophy, where children work with curated Montessori materials in mixed-age classrooms.

The school focuses on nurturing each child’s in-built potential by allowing them to explore, choose activities and learn at their own pace under the guidance of trained Montessori adults.

Videos and posts from the school showcase activities such as practical-life exercises, sensorial work, early language and math materials, storytelling, phonics-based reading development and hands-on cultural activities.

The atmosphere appears calm and orderly, with child-sized furniture and learning materials carefully arranged on low shelves so that children can independently select their work.

Parents are drawn to Sigaram Montessori for its emphasis on respect, independence and self-discipline, as well as the belief that young children learn best through concrete experiences and purposeful movement rather than traditional rote teaching.

Events like festivals, convocations and theme days are conducted in a child-centric manner, allowing children to present songs, stories or demonstrations of the work they have mastered.

The school’s digital presence through a dedicated YouTube channel and social pages serves as an informal ‘website’, giving prospective parents a window into classroom life, teaching methods and the overall culture of the school, even though there is no separate branded domain.
