Kindergarten
– The green house of education |
|
Kindergarten is truly the green house of education in every sense
of the word. The ambience created by transforming these tiny
saplings into plants follows the same philosophy of tender loving
care used in the green house
Our
students are in the age group of 2 ˝ to 5 years acquiring basic
skills of recognition, reading, writing and arithmetic. Ages 3
through 5 are wonder years. That’s when children begin learning to
study, to reason, to co-operate. Children of this age group have to
be taught differently from older children. Therefore our methods of
teaching are designed to fit the child instead of making the child
fit the school. We adopt a combination of Kindergarten as well as
Montessori and Play way methods, which make learning fun.
Our
Kindergarten family has been continually growing with the present
strength of 2279 students and 71 teachers lead by our dynamic
Headmistress Ms. Najma Nakhat. We have the Lower Kindergarten for
children between 3 to 4 and Upper Kindergarten for children between
ages of 4 to 5. Apart from this we also have the Preschool and
Special Child Care Section.
