Head Mistress : Mrs Poonam Tyagi

There are many different ways to teach young children but "BAL BHARATI PUBLIC SCHOOL" has adopted the most appropriate and the worlds widely accepted known as the Montessori method. This method is in used right from the beginning of this institution that was founded in 1944.

The Montessori method was designed by a well-known Italian doctor Dr. Maria Montessori. It is based on the theory that senses are the gateways to knowledge. Children are learning best when they are using all their five senses i.e. touch, hearing, sight, taste and smell. This brings the real world into the classroom. It sustains their interest and gives the pre-school child the best possible start to learn things. No set timetable is followed. This allows the children to learn according to their individual needs.

A beginning is made on the three R's: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic . The letters are taught through tracings on sandpaper letters and side by side phonetic sounds are taught. The audio motor imagery helps to reinforce the graphs motor and to facilitate the retension of the forms of the letter. The handling of the pencil in the right manner is taught through excerises in which the child traces contours of geometrical shapes.

Along with academics, importance is also given to co-curricular activities for an all round development of the child.
