Maguvininda Manava Montessori podcast is about the Montessori Method of education. People visiting the Montessori schools think that children only play in the Montessori classrooms and do not learn any reading and writing. They believe either children have been given too much freedom or disciplined too much. Furthermore, Montessori schools are considered to be the schools for differently-abled children.
I am Dr S Rekha Reddy, excited to share three decades of my experience in the Montessori field as a teacher and Montessori Teacher Trainer and intend to clear some of the misconceptions about the Montessori Method. I also share a few fundamental Montessori Principles in this podcast.
The podcast is beneficial to all parents irrespective of whether your children are in Montessori school or not. It is advantageous for teachers, principals and anyone interested in the Montessori method of education.

Maguvininda Manava Montessori Podcast
In this episode, Dr S Rekha Reddy shares her experience visiting Montessori school for the first time.
A Montessori school is called ‘House of Children’ since it’s a place specifically created for the children. It is categorically different from regular schools as it has been constructed keeping in mind the specific needs of the children. It is quite an enigma to see the children work independently within the confines of discipline when they are seemingly contradictory. What is typical of a Montessori environment is the premise of this episode. -

This episode provides a brief introduction to the Laws of Development.

This episode explores the idea of metamorphosis in children. Ordinarily, metamorphosis is associated with Insects and frogs, which go through striking transformations in their life cycle. Contrary to the popular belief that development is constantly upward, the child's development has ups and downs, births and rebirths, and metamorphosis in mental and physical aspects! This is exactly how the child develops.

6. The Spiritual Embryo
This episode discusses how the child is born incomplete compared to the animal babies. At birth, the child has eyes but no sight, ears but no listening, hands but no grasp, legs without coordination. In short, the child is almost a mass of flesh. During the first days of life, the spirit is blown into this mass of flesh. Nature has provided the child with the powers to create his future being.
