Education in the early years of a child cannot be ignored. This is a critical stage of development when the child’s brain is growing and making millions of connections. We endeavour to provide a rich KINDERGARTEN environment as a support system to fulfill the educational needs of each child.
Our emphasis is mostly on learning through the senses in order to encourage brain development of the children. The activities which they practice tend to encourage independent learning, self-awareness and self-confidence. We also assist each child to develop a fine sense of social responsibility and eco-friendly living.
We try to inspire children to discover a love of learning in creative and joyful atmosphere. The learning style of our children is auditory, visual or experiential, determined by the requirements of the context. They also receive strong literacy and mathematical skills as part of our pre-school curriculum.
Our child-centred methods include age-appropriate and appealing activities and games. Individualized lessons and self-learning materials, wherever required, are provided. Lessons on courtesy, manners and habits are also given much importance.
