Saritha Vellore is a Certified Montessori Teacher with over a decade of experience in early childhood education, bringing a unique blend of academic expertise and personal passion to her teaching. With a Master’s in English Literature and a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, Saritha combines her deep appreciation for narrative arts with a hands-on approach to Montessori principles. Her journey from higher education to early childhood was inspired by witnessing her own son’s growth within the Montessori framework, leading her to become a dedicated advocate for this transformative method.
In her classroom, Saritha emphasizes individualized learning, nurturing curiosity and independence across various developmental stages. Her approach creates an inclusive, supportive environment where each child’s unique learning journey is celebrated. Beyond academics, Saritha weaves her love for literature, gardening, and the outdoors into her teaching, fostering a holistic experience that encourages lifelong learning and exploration.
We believe in the holistic development of the child—intellectual, physical, emotional, and social. Through a carefully prepared environment, we create a space that encourages children to explore, collaborate, and become active participants in their own learning. Our experienced Montessori-certified educators guide each child towards independence, respect, and a deep sense of community.
“If salvation and help are to come, it is through the child; for the child is the constructor of man.”- Dr. Maria Montessori -“He does it with his hands, by experience, first in play and then through work. The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.”- Dr. Maria Montessori -“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.”- Dr. Maria Montessori –
As a Montessori educator and director with 25 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working at many schools, but none quite like Montessori Milestones. This authentic, homegrown Montessori school stands as a beacon of what true Montessori education can be. Every inch of the school radiates love,
dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the Montessori philosophy.
The founder, director, and head teacher, Ms. Saritha, embodies the essence of Dr. Maria Montessori herself: the saint, the servant, and the scientist. Her passion for education and deep understanding of the Montessori method is woven into the very fabric of the school. Her leadership fosters an environment where every child is seen as a unique individual, supported in their growth, and encouraged to reach their
fullest potential.
It is with a heart full of gratitude that I have had the honor of working alongside Ms. Saritha, to help shape Montessori Milestones into a nurturing place where children not only learn but flourish. It is here that they are guided to become lifelong learners with a solid foundation for success in all areas of life.
Montessori Milestones is a rare gem, a place where love, commitment, and educational excellence come together to provide a transformative experience for both children and educators alike.
