he
pre-primary wing of the school comprises classes
Nursery and Prep and caters to the needs and
demands of early childhood learning. Bearing in
mind that at this age the foundation of a
child's personality is laid and two third of his
intellect is formed, we have created an
environment and a system of teaching which is
entirely child friendly. The classes are housed
in Block - C which is their exclusive domain and
it is here that they learn social skills,
free-play, develop verbal ability and imbibe the
skills and joy of creating things with their own
hands through art and crafts which is an
integral part of the curriculum. The curriculum
is open-ended and the focus is on experiential
learning. Formal learning of the three Rs is
introduced in Nursery. It finds a more prominent
place in the Prep curriculum which includes
recognition, reading and writing of the Hindi
and English alphabet, small words and basic
arithmetical concepts.
The focus in Prep is on
cognitive development and enhancement of the
language and interpersonal skills. The children
are sensitised to the social and cultural
concerns and encouraged to think, reflect on
issues and arrive at their own solutions. The
main objective behind the curriculum is to
enable t
he
children to communicate effectively and to
develop the integrated skills and craetivity
required for them to grow as confident and
independent individuals.
