The growing emphasis on multiple intelligence has paved the way to holistic learning. The curriculum is a synthesis of various subjects and activities.

A balanced daily programme that meets the needs of pre-primary children has been is adopted by our school.A child friendly and activity based curriculum has been designed in order to lay a firm foundation for the next level of schooling. The medium of instruction is English. The curriculum is planned comprehensively so that it enhances learning, facilitates thinking and helps in developing clear communicative and cognitive languages. The curriculum covers the spectrum of

• Language and Phonics
• Numeracy /Number work
• General Knowledge / EVS
• Drawing, Coloring, Art and craft
• Music and Action songs.

The focus in the area is on language development and communication skills. This being the transition phase from the mother tongue to English, children are encouraged, through a lot of listening and speaking activities, to comfortably converse in English. Children learn a language from hearing it and using it themselves. It has to be done naturally and casually so that they will learn language skills readily and without pressure. Ideally, activities like role play, stories etc.. are used to enhance their expressive as well as receptive language.

Learning to read words is a lot of fun if it is based on phonics. Rote learning is reduced to a great extent and learning becomes simpler and meaningful. From this perspective a lot of care is exercised while teaching reading through phonics.

The concept of numbers forms an integral part of learning process. It begins at the concrete level and proceeds gradually to the abstract level in order to consolidate the perception. Numbers are introduced in a stimulating manner so that each child finds learning challenging and interesting.

Awareness about self and their immediate environment is considered an important teaching/ learning objective right from the PKG level. Nature, natural phenomena, simple and important facts relating to nature|science is introduced in a very simple and concrete way. At this level hands on experiences in the form of out door activities are provided so that learning process becomes more meaningful.

A child’s learning depends a lot on the learning atmosphere, encouragement from parents and teachers and a sense of pleasure that is derived from a particular activity. Hence activities like drawing, colouring, art and craft are provided where in children are given the freedom of self expression, self discovery, creativity and aesthetics.

Songs and music are necessary ingredients for learning. Rhymes and rhythms are highly enjoyable and they are the most effective media for classroom activity.
