Physical Activities
Children love to fiddle with different
kinds of things and we encourage them in activities where they learn to use and
handle different things. We help them to utilize their physical store of energy
in an optimum manner by providing them with carefully chosen play materials.
The Children Indulge in Physical
Activities Like:
· Climbing jungle gyms and stairs.
· Throwing and catching soft balls.
· Jumping, running, bending, etc.
· Playing on a variety of swings and slides.
Language Development
It has been seen that it is possible for a
child to pick up more than one language at a time. Since English is the medium
of instruction, children pick up the language at an early age.
Language is developed through
· Singing poems and songs (rhymes).
· Using rhyming words.
· Listening with understanding to stories and instruction.
· Expressing themselves verbally by answering and asking questions.
· Identifying, recognizing and naming people, objects, pictures and
actions.
· Discriminating visually between different objects, items and
pictures.
Intellectual Development is enhanced
through
· Observation of different things and processes.
· Experimentation.
· Understanding animal life and plant life.
· Classifying things by putting similar objects together.
· Recollecting facts told earlier.
· Reasoning and problem solving with simple 4-6 piece jumbles and
jigsaw puzzles.
· Picking up number concepts.
· Making simple comparisons like big-small, tall-short, etc.
· Recognizing and naming colours. Teachers take children to
different places outside the school. Concepts related to the environment are
taught during these outings. Teachers show things from real life and take the
help of experiments to teach the tiny tots.
Socio Emotional Development
This is promoted through development of
good habits and good behaviour. The children are taught accepted manners and
social skills like greeting others, using words like ‘please’, ‘thank you’,
‘sorry’, etc.
The Children are taught to
· Go to the toilet on their own.
· Wash hands properly and independently.
· Eat food with minimum spilling.

enable children to grasp concepts easily, teachers help the children with:

· Painting with a thick brush, fingers, cotton, wool, etc.
