Culture comprises of the major components binding man together as society. It is an accumulation of thoughts, values, and objects. It is necessary that the child should be introduced to the fundamentals of history, in relation to the present socio-economic and civic conditions. He should also be introduced to the various aspects of Geography, which are in the limit of his understanding. For this first hand participation is necessary because attributes cannot be learnt through memorization. The Montessori child already understands the nature of objects he is able to classify, the similarities, the differences, by the attributes of things. He is ready to receive geographical concepts. The child is made aware of our culture and religion in the Montessori Environment. They celebrate festivals like Eid ul fitr ,Eid ul Azha , Holi, Christmas, Independance Day and more.

Music and Movement Children of tender age can just be introduced to music but only  when they are somewhat older, can they develop a real interest in it.  His environment must be such that it can arouse in him a feeling for, and  an understanding of music. We may proceed to a rapid review of the various factors connected with musical education. The preparation of the motor organ for rhythmical gymnastic exercises  may be seen in the exercise called "Walking on the line". Here they learn how to control the movement of the hand and feet.  Rhythmical ,Musical phrases can be chosen and repeated to develop their sensibility to music. Through music the child's physical development, language development,  emotional development, and social development is enhanced. The technique of singing, coordinating voice and movements develops the technique of rhythm, melody and harmony in a child.    ART & CRAFT Children seem to thrive by making movement which to the adult appear to have no purpose other then pleasure. The movement that produce child art may also be enjoyable because they have the characteristi of rhythm and balance, observable in the drawings themselves. The pleasure of scribbling comes from the combination of vision and  movement and thus child art has meaning for both the capabilities. The child is introduced to the world of colours thus enhancing his imagination skills.
