The Magic Years

'the magic years' was started in 1978 with the aim of providing young children in New Delhi with a fine start to their education. Wholly committed to the cause of the child, the school follows the methods and teaching propounded by Dr Maria Montessori. The child is allowed and encouraged to grow and learn at his own pace, learning from and sharing with his peers. Set on a half-acre plot in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, the school today houses over 200 children of over 15 nations and 50 full and part-time staff. The years of early childhood demand of a child feats he may never again equal – he learns to walk, to talk, he develops a conscience, memory, and gains knowledge through his own experiences. The actualization of his intelligence, his sensorial skills, his finer movements, his language, his social skills, all these foundations are laid in the early years of life.
