Part of my Motivation:

" There is a part of  a child's soul that has always been unknown but which must be known. With a spirit of sacriface and enthusiasm we must go in search like those who travel to foreign lands and tear up mountains in their search for hidden gold. This is what the adults must do who seeks the unknown factor that lies hidden in the depths of a child's soul. This is a labor in which all must share, without distinction of nation, race, or social standing since it means the bringing forth of an indispensable element for the moral progress of mankind." ( The Secret of Child, Dr. Maria montessori)

Montessori Workshop

Approximately each month we are honored to provide brief Montessori workshops to various government educational institutions. Our recent visitor to our resource centre came from Nakornsawan and Lampung. It's been a rewarding moment as most of them express interest on intergrating Montessori method into their schools set-up.

September Update

Our most exciting accomplishment this month:  We have just developed our first Thai Language sandpaper vowel letters!  We are so delighted and we can't wait to introduce them to the children.  Take a look for yourself!

Intro to KLDF Montessori Project

The KLDF Montessori project aims at giving ethnic minority children an opportunity to learn to speak Thai language and equip the children with what they need to become self-reliant individuals. 

Over the years the KLDF Monstessori project vision has continued to grow and we have expanded our efforts to reach other districts with hilltribe children in the Chiang Rai province.  We have grown from 2 classrooms to 34 montessori-converted classrooms.
