OUR CURRICULUM draws on neuroscientific research and is
developmentally appropriate, integrated and creative. It aims to in still care for self, for others and for the environment in our children.
Developmentally appropriate
Our approach honours the development of the whole child; intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially across ages. It also recognizes that all children are intelligent and capable learners and will develop across and within these developmental areas in unique and individualized ways.
Integrated
Since children learn in different ways and learn better if learning experiences are interconnected or integrated, our curriculum too is theme based and investigates ideas from multiple perspectives. Our themes combine different areas of learning and become catalysts for developing concepts, skills and attitudes while relating this learning to real life. This learning ensures development of multiple intelligence in children.
Creative
We engage learners through creative learning experiences. Creative expression across learning domains is invited, encouraged and celebrated. Children are exposed to dynamic learning environments, challenges and choices in activities, open ended questions, and interactions with peers and teachers. Working with colours and textures, engaging with music and movement and a plethora of other mediums with ample freedom ensure nurturance of the innate creativity in each child.
Care for self, others and the environment
Care for self begins with building self-esteem through developing selfhelp skills, providing choices, autonomy, challenges, successes, affirmations and support to help the children know and flourish in this knowledge of being unique and special.
Working collaboratively through opportunities for sharing, waiting for ones turn, taking the role of the other and resolving conflicts helps children extend this care to others.
Caring for the environment is a habit that is inculcated early in children. This connecting thread runs through the entire curriculum and the practices followed at global level.
Teachers and Parents
FOR OUR PROGRAM to be successful, it is imperative that our teachers and parents work together for children to maximize their potential and the school supports this alliance through various planned collaborative exercises. Our teachers are carefully selected and bring forth a combination of requisite skills and attitude to work with children in the early years. The teachers undergo continuous professional development by experts to understand their own selves; to work in collaboration; to keep abreast with cutting edge research and innovation to ensure excellence in education and care of early learners. There is frequent coaching and mentoring for all teachers to provide regular feedback so that they can continue bettering their craft for our various programs. Our teachers are a team of classroom instructional leaders, creative and performing art specialists, special educators, counsellors, care providers and nurses.
We welcome and appreciate parental involvement in their child’s wellbeing and development. We therefore provide parents with valuable information on how their child is doing on a regular basis through the child’s portfolio and developmental report book replete with work samples, updates, narratives and photographs of children engaged in different areas of learning. We also encourage proactive parental interaction and feedback system through:
