Methodology
The Pre – Primary Section provides adequate opportunities for stimulating experiences
favourably affecting each child’s various learning abilities. We aim to provide a cohesive
approach to facilitate the unfolding of the child’s innate potential in all domains of
development. Our curriculum focuses on the developmental stages where the child is given
opportunities to investigate, explore and develop an understanding of their immediate and
wider environment – human, social and cultural. In this process of exploration children are
involved in observation, questioning, discussion, prediction, analysis, investigation, and
experimentation. At the end, they establish attitudes and competencies related to their
learning which will stay with them for their lifetime.
Assessment
The Pre – Primary Section follows an on-going observation of every individual child, based
on their development milestones. Educators observe and document every child’s conceptual
knowledge, physical, mental and emotional growth. Hence, our programme sustains the
balance between child’s development and the curriculum content. The cumulative
observational record term-wise is depicted through Progress Report and a Portfolio.
INFRASTRUCTURE
