Pre-School
The Kindergarten curriculum is based on age-specific learning outcomes. A space where multiple senses are sparked, investigations triggered into themes and topics, questions and discoveries welcomed with delight. Together, children and teachers reflect on the meaning of each activity and explore it thoroughly; in doing so, every child makes the experience authentic and the learning personal. Teachers attempt to understand the social and cultural contexts to which children belong, which gives clues to their emotional, cognitive and social needs. This helps teachers create a truly unique multicultural learning environment.

Curricular practices in kindergarten
The balanced approach of the Kindergarten curriculum is reflected by the daily activities built around the following practices, which set a framework for the overall development needs of this age group. Teachers are also observers, as they document the students’ progress at work and play.
1.Learning Centers:Many developmental and foundational skills are acquired here through observations in nature, construction (building blocks, clay), pretend play, reading and reuse-and-recycle centers. Children can learn and explore at their own pace. Teachers act as observers, as they document the students’ progress at work and play.
2.Teacher-Led instruction:While the class is at work in the learning centers, one of the two teachers in the class works in rotation with a small group of students on different skill areas.
Reading:
- LKG Read-aloud classes and well-stocked classroom digital reading material introduce children to reading from the first day of school. Students learn how to handle books, look at illustrations, create their own stories, and begin the process of reading.
- UKG More focus on the children’s natural curiosity towards books and illustrations. They begin to exhibit reading-like behavior as they reconstruct familiar stories. Towards the end of UKG, the children are able to read familiar text, labels, captions etc.
By age 5, our kindergartners start reading and by the end of age 5 they are able to read three to four letter words and sentences.
