Learning Autonomy

The playschool program takes in children at around two years of age when they are ready for learning autonomy in various activities. Our teachers work with these little children in a play classroom setting and encourage them on as the children go through rapid physical, mental and social development. Close partnership with the parents is maintained through parent’s classroom participation. Our teachers work with each child on an individual basis to help transition the child into being comfortable while being away from home and parents. Our aim is to ensure that by the time your child enters pre-school, she is happy, autonomous and raring to go.

All-round Development

Our teachers facilitate the development of playschoolers through individual love, attention and encouragement. They work on various aspects of development by engaging the child in developmentally appropriate activities through age appropriate books, toys, music, blocks, models and other equipments:

• Feeding and toilet training
• Gross and fine motor skills
• Cognitive development
• Language skills
• Art
• Emotional and social development

All-round Development
Our teachers facilitate the many stages of infant development by providing for each child's individual needs. Our play-school curriculum is designed to provide developmentally appropriate and engaging activities focusing on all round development of your baby in the following learning areas:

• Feeding and toilet training
• Gross and fine motor skills
• Intellectual stimulation for brain growth
• Language skills
• Music appreciation
• Emotional and social development

Feeding and Toilet Training
During the program, playschoolers get used to eating to a schedule consisting of healthy breakfast, lunch and evening snack. Children are also encouraged to self-feed themselves and finish appropriate sized portions to develop healthy eating habits. The program still allows for some flexibility as children enter the program with different levels of autonomy depending on their home environment and teachers work with each child to ensure that he gets appropriate nutrition. It is also the program’s aim to ensure toilet training is completed within a few months of the child entering the program.

Movement
By the time they are in our playschool program, children are not just walking confidently, they are ready to run, jump, kick and receive balls, scoot and ride. They also develop finer hand and finger co-ordination and love scribbling with crayons and colors.

We provide enough room to playschoolers to safely jump, stack, push, pull and exercise their full range of movements. We also provide them an enclosed outdoor activity area with padded flooring to play and run and another area to ride on wheeled toys. Our teachers help the kids develop their full range of gross motor movements, while also providing them enough opportunities to develop fine motor skills.

Cognitive Development
Playschoolers begin developing finer appreciation for the attributes of their physical surroundings including colors, shapes and textures. They also acquire the skills to match, sort, sequence and solve simple problems and obstacles. Their scribbles start making way into drawings. Our teachers through various age appropriate activities, games and equipment, nurture these foundational cognitive skills.

Art
From appreciating music to playing with musical toys, from scribbling to coloring and from free play to art and craft. The playschool program begins introducing children to a variety of art activities and mediums to broaden their artistic experience and senses and help them pick up whatever they have the most fun with.

Language Development
Talking, singing and reading aloud are key elements of the program that aid in language development for playschoolers. Simple plot stories, rhyming phrases and picture books help them further enhance their abilities to link ideas to language and expand their vocabularies.

Emotional and Social Development
Playing with other children, expressing their feelings through language and understanding of rules are all developed in this stage and encouraged gently through various classroom activities and repetition. The playschool program helps your little ones emerge more confident and autonomous to take on life in pre-school.
