A Pure Montessori Beginning, the Ardee Way.

Welcome to the House

The House at Noida.

A dedicated Montessori House for the early years, thoughtfully built on Dr. Montessori's planes of development. Featuring internationally standardised Montessori apparatus, carefully prepared environments, and child-led discovery designed to nurture independence, concentration, and joyful learning.

Set on Lotus Boulevard in Sector 100, the Noida House pairs the intimacy of a Montessori environment with the expansive, future-ready infrastructure the prospectus describes: room for children to move, to garden, and to grow into the next stage without changing what they have come to trust.

At Ardee Montessori House, each child is met with respect, trust, and a prepared environment that supports their natural growth.

How we educate

Authentic Montessori, the Ardee way.

The Houses follow the Montessori method as Dr. Maria Montessori set it down, carried by the convictions of a school group that opened its first campus as a Montessori House in 2003. Three pages explain how.

The method

Our Philosophy

Prepared environments, authentic apparatus and certified mentors who observe before they guide. The planes of development, the areas of learning, and what changes when a child is trusted to work.

The Ardee way

Ardeeology

Where Ardee began, the three understandings at the centre of its education, the mentor's role, and the continuum that runs from the first environment to Cambridge A Levels.

A day at the House

Structure that a child can trust.

The day runs from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM. It opens with a greeting at the door, gives way to a long, uninterrupted work cycle, moves outdoors to the sandpit and the gardening patches, gathers around a freshly prepared meal, and closes calmly with families.

9:00 AM

Arrival and greeting

Each child is greeted by name at the door of the environment, removes their own shoes and chooses their first work.

Mid-morning

The work cycle and the outdoors

Presentations, independent work, practical life and time in the outdoor play zone.

1:30 PM

Departure

A calm handover, with the day's observations shared through the parent communication app.

Moments from the House

A morning in the environment.

Montessori highlights

Six commitments in every environment.

Our Montessori programme is intentionally designed to give every child a warm, confident, and emotionally secure beginning before they enter any formal campus environment.

Certified Montessori educators

Our trained and certified Montessori educators guide each child with patience, deep observation, and a thorough understanding of early-years development. They support growth through gentle guidance rather than instruction.

Sensorial learning materials

Authentic Montessori apparatus invite children to learn through their senses, refine perception, and make abstract ideas concrete. Each material has a clear purpose and supports hands-on discovery.

A strong focus on independence

From simple choices to meaningful self-care tasks, children build confidence, discipline, and ownership of their actions. These early experiences lay the foundation for independence that lasts a lifetime.

Social and emotional learning

Grace and courtesy, mindfulness, and emotional expression are woven into daily routines. Children learn to regulate emotions, collaborate peacefully, and form trusting relationships within their community.

Parent communication via app

Photos, updates, and classroom observations help parents feel connected to their child's day. This transparent home and school bridge supports shared understanding and builds trust.

Peace education

At Ardee Montessori Houses, peace is lived daily through calm environments, respectful relationships, and purposeful work that nurtures self-discipline, empathy, and responsibility.

Parent partnership

Connected to every day.

Photos, updates and classroom observations reach families through a daily parent communication app, a transparent bridge between home and the House that supports shared understanding and builds trust. Families are invited to tour the House, virtually and in person, before their child joins.

Safety and wellbeing

A secure campus, scaled to the child.

A secure campus with closed-circuit television (CCTV) throughout, child-sized Montessori furnishings, a Montessori mobility zone for independence, air-conditioned rooms and fresh meals prepared in-house: the House is built so that a child can be both safe and free.

Visit the House, in person or online.

School tours are offered both virtually and in person. Our team responds to every enquiry within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
