Programs offered
HEADSTART (Children 2–3 years old)
Longer working hours at the office, rise in dual-income-single-child families, rise in nuclear living (no grand-parents around), smaller living spaces are the ground realities facing most young, ambitious and hard-working parents who aspire to provide a better quality of life. Quite unfortunately and unintentionally, the greatest victim of this rat-race, is today’s CHILD – who is virtually left alone to fend for himself while being in the care of an illiterate ayah/neighbour/crèche! The HEADSTART Program, is aimed at supplementing the efforts of time challenged parents by sharing their responsibility in mentoring, nurturing and inculcating in their children, the basics of life and language skills and in creating a general awareness towards the world around them by channelizing their energies through a multitude of fun activities in the company of similar aged children in an organised, loving & safe environment.
KINDERGARTEN: “Nursery” and “Jr. K.G.” (Children 3–5 years old)
The Kindergarten Program, offers an age-appropriate curriculum that is preparatory to elementary education. Fine-tuned to cater to children who mostly come from non-English speaking backgrounds, leveraging the “Learning through Play” methodology, it aims at laying in a firm academic foundation and prepares the child to withstand the onslaught of the more regimented elementary education. Admissions to the Kindergarten Program are granted in strict adherence to the government regulations that are in force. If however, a child is observed to be a slow learner, after due deliberation with the child’s parents, he/she may be shifted to a Section which best matches with his/her learning abilities.
