Curious Learners Preschool, Kesnand Road, Wagholi, Pune

At the age of two, children begin to develop independence and it is the best time to explore their developmental milestones. They begin to experiment and develop self-help skills. While each child will have his/her learning pace and a different way to comprehend their surroundings. With our Play Group, the little ones take their first step into the world of learning and growth. They are introduced to a more structured day with a stimulating environment that not only spreads positive energy but also makes learning a joyful experience. Our aim is to enrich every child’s senses and enhance their understanding about the surroundings around them. The teachers carefully implement a dynamic learning system which lays emphasis on active exploration, sensory learning and introduction of new themes. This level is suitable for children in the age group between 2 to 3 years. The curriculum, group interactions and activities have been designed to help the child build social, emotional, language, cognitive and physical skills. A few activities to stimulate their development process include sensory time, story time, free-play, introduction to computers, celebration of festivals & events, art & craft, etc. The teachers nurture the inner strengths of each child and they also encourage the toddlers to develop in their own areas of interest. The parents in this level are equally encouraged to partner with the school to ensure that their ward is driven towards holistic development at this tender age.

Learning is a self-active, experiential, problem-solving process that demands an active confrontation with environments, self and with others. This hands-on exploration, the joy of learning and the strength to overcome diverse challenges are all essential foundations of the life-long learning process. In grade Nursery, our aim is to make the students real thinkers who taste a bit of independence in their own way. We enrich their decision making skills, as they can decide what they want to draw, when they want to visit the washroom and what to make with their toys. This sort of independence teaches them how to make the right choices. They are also taught how to work well within a group through listening, sharing and cooperation. Our caring and experienced teachers are dedicated to provide a rich and nurturing environment that will prepare the students to follow a formal curriculum in the coming years. This level is suitable for children in the age group between 3 to 4 years. (Children of 3+ years of age as on 31st December). At this level, subject-based learning starts for the children. Early literacy is introduced to the students through monthly themes which aim to develop the reading, writing and logical skills that also contribute to the achievement of developmental milestones in this age group. Building materials, such as blocks, support critical thinking, art & craft enhances creativity, outdoor play develops gross & fine motor skills, whereas, role play activities take their imagination to a new level. The Learners are provided with interesting materials to use and plenty of time to explore them. The teachers offer them suggestions that encourage more complex play and thinking. They also learn a little bit of IT during their computer time. Stage exposure also comes to the forefront during nursery as the children are given ample opportunities to perform in front of a massive audience through fancy dress, show & tell, oral competitions, or at the annual day.

At Curious Learners Preschool, Kesnand road, we understand the importance of hands-on learning and personal attention to each child and the positive impact it can have on a child's development. In our preschool we encourage this from a very early age, because we believe it’s a more engaging approach. Individual attention can be given to each child in the classroom by incorporating small group activities, one-on-one conferences, differentiated instruction, and timely feedback and support.

A preschool is the first experience every child gets away from home. From their cosy, warm, nurturing environment called home, they need a similar atmosphere as they sift to preschool. Preschoolers are just now learning what socialising is and how they need to work with their peers by sharing. They begin to figure out their likes and dislikes and communicate without their parents’ help and support.

Play is the serious work of children. Children are naturally curious about their world and are eager to learn about it. They need to manipulate, explore, and experiment with real objects. Through play, children clarify information, integrate ideas from their previous experiences, and explore and experiment with their environment. Play also gives them the opportunity to add knowledge, learn new skills and practice familiar ones. They learn to deal with their feelings, interact with children and adults and resolve conflicts. Here’s where their imagination and creativity flourish, which is a crucial step to helping them develop problem solving skills.
