Mongrace Montessori House was established in 1964 by the late Ms. Monjushree Chatterjee and the late Mrs. Grace Wasim Pina with such a view to guide children in their formative years.The name 'Mongrace' has been coined by combining the first names of the two Founders. The word House implies a home where children are not exposed to the dull atmosphere or regimentation of a school room but are allowed to progress in an environment reminiscent of their homes.

An engaging workshop on a very pertinent topic - "Effect of Environment on Learning" has been executed by Asian College of Teachers (ACT) in association with Mongrace Montessori and Early Childhood Association of India, Kolkata Chapter on 15th July, 2017 at Mongrace Montessori, New Town. The workshop witnessed great participation from several teaching professionals including principals from various schools. ACT furnished experienced teacher trainers who spoke extensively on the impact environment has on learning with a strong focus on its varied aspects. The participants were equally enthusiastic and participated wholeheartedly in activities, raising relevant questions leading to a very interactive session. Workshoppers found the PowerPoint presentation, activities and Question-Answer sessions of great value which cleared their doubts and made them accumulate skills, knowledge and experience which they can employ in their classrooms.
