Pedagogy
Our approach isn’t unidimensional. We’ve taken our learnings with renowned early childhood pedagogies like Montessori and Kindergarten, and incorporated them into our methods. Not before making them relevant for our children today.
Everything we do is built on the four pillars of the Chinmaya Vision Program.
GENERAL OUTLINE
PLAYGROUP & NURSERY
Theme-based learning
Curriculum built on familiar and relatable themes for holistic learning
KINDERGARTEN
Centre-based learning
Active learning, going through the different learning centres: Alpha Centre, Math Centre, Theme Centre & Language Development Program (LDP) Centre, Hindi and Marathi Centre.
The pedagogy of Integrated learning is incorporated for holistic learning.

Truly holistic learning.

Children express themselves in a hundred different languages. Painting, drawing, sculpting, dancing, singing, pretend play. Each of these languages is equally important. Just as play is in the learning process.
We give a lot of importance to observation and documentation. And focus on building responsibility and ownership.
It starts with our Integrated Settling Plan, developed to help pre-schoolers adjust to the new environment and overcome separation anxiety. From their first day, Little Aryans are taught differently. Science is taught through music. Mathematics with history. English with art and craft.
