Physical Activities

Children love to explore, and we encourage them through activities that help them learn to use and handle different things. We help them utilize their energy with carefully chosen play materials.

The children indulge in physical activities like:

• Climbing jungle gyms and stairs
• Throwing and catching soft balls
• Jumping, running, bending, and more
• Playing on a variety of swings and slides

Language Development

With English as the medium of instruction, children pick up the language at an early age.

Language is developed through:

• Singing poems and songs (rhymes)
• Using rhyming words
• Listening with understanding to stories and instructions
• Expressing themselves verbally by answering and asking questions
• Identifying, recognizing and naming people, objects, pictures and actions
• Visual discrimination between different objects, items and pictures

Intellectual Development

• Observation of different things and processes
• Experimentation
• Understanding animal life and plant life
• Classifying things by putting similar objects together
• Recollecting facts told earlier
• Reasoning and problem solving with simple 4–6 piece jumbles and jigsaw puzzles
• Picking up number concepts
• Making simple comparisons like big–small, tall–short
• Recognizing and naming colours

Teachers take children to different places outside the school. Concepts related to the environment are taught during these outings, with real-life demonstrations and experiments.

Socio-Emotional Development

This is promoted through development of good habits and behavior. Children are taught accepted manners and social skills.

Children are taught to:

• Go to the toilet on their own
• Wash hands properly and independently
• Eat food with minimum spilling

Class Activities

To make classes interesting and to enable children to grasp concepts easily, teachers help the children with:

• Arranging building blocks
• Joining Lego pieces
• Creating designs by modeling clay
• Threading beads using plastic needles
• Painting with brushes, fingers, cotton, or wool
• Drawing pictures
• Coloring with control
• Folding, tearing, and cutting paper
• Applying glue and pasting items

Our Guiding Principles

• Children possess unique sensibilities and mental powers at each stage
• Children differ from one another
• The early years are the most important for growth and learning
• Every child is gifted in some way; a rich environment helps talents emerge
• Interaction in a non-formal environment builds confidence and social skills
