Teaching Methodology
The method of teaching we follow in kindergarten builds thinking skills and problem solving confidence in children. The entire programme of kindergarten is child centred which follows a play way and activity approach. Children explore and work in large groups, small groups, and independently through teacher-directed and child-initiated activities.
Students have ample opportunity to nurture their skills and talents as the school provides a plethora of hobby based activities for the tiny- tots of kindergarten like Drawing, Painting, Vegetable Printing, Origami, Paper Craft,Dough Craft etc. These activities develop children’s creativity.
The emphasis is on nurturing the connection between home and school, socially adjusting, and learning in an environment planned to encourage discovery, independence, the imagination, and social interaction. In order to develop confidence and self-regulation, children are encouraged to help themselves, take initiative, and become increasingly independent. To provide our students with an opportunity to expand their horizons and harness an existing skill or talent, various programmes like Singing Competition, Dance Competition, Fancy Dress Competition, Recitation Competition, Sports Day and Annual Day are held.
The progress and performance of the child is assessed regularly throughout the year in formal and informal way. We follow continuous assessment based on daily learning. Through careful observation and assessment, learning goals are set for each child, regularly reviewed, progress monitored and achievements celebrated.
Enthusiastic and well trained teachers guide these tender children into their first steps of learning. Be assured for right kind of care with varied fun filled activities to cater to all areas of growth in the child.

A day at the Kindergarten
A typical kindergarten day begins at 8.50am with circle time designed to enhance a child’s natural instincts to question, discover and participate in the world around them. In the first half of the day, students develop their Literacy, Phonics, Math skills and Environmental Science. Later in the day they enjoy Art and Craft, PE and connect what they know about their environment.
