KINDERGARTEN

The Kindergarten is a warm, open place that has been created keeping the child as a priority. Children experience things important to their development by demonstrating their abilities in an emotionally secure environment and the focus in the Kindergarten is to create such an environment. They have the ability to explore as well as experience things first hand. They are allowed to express themselves freely and in many ways.

We believe that early childhood is the period that children develop their foundation of life and hence we try to provide a Kindergarten environment which would help achieve these basic goals:

• 
Basic habits and attitudes necessary for developing a healthy, safe, and happy life and develop the foundation for a healthy body and mind.
• 
Help children learn to love and trust people. Also develop their independence, cooperation, and good morals
• 
Develop their interest in the things around them, such as nature. Develop their feelings, and their ability to contemplate
• 
Develop their interest in daily verbal expression. Develop their listening and speaking skills, and their understanding of the language.
• 
Cultivate sensitivity and creativity through various experiences.

The learning process is art based. The children also are encouraged to mix with children from other classes and to facilitate that, the various classes have learning centers together, they play together, have music classes together. They children are also involved in a lot of extra curricular activities like dancing, pottery, singing, cooking etc.

The Kindergarten celebrates a lot of festivals like Diwali, Halloween & Christmas as well as involving ourselves in whole school activities like Festival of the Arts and Multicultural Week.

The Kindergarten has three classes: Pre-Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten. The classes have children of the ages of 3, 4 and 5. The children also have a 40 minute Montessori session every day. The Montessori Method emphasizes the uniqueness of each child and recognizes that children are different from adults in the way they develop and think. The children work developing their skills individually in the Montessori class and it basically complements and reinforces what the child does in his Homeroom class.

The Kindergarten has been basically created to be a place which children love coming to and where they enjoy what they do!
