Pedagogy

Curriculum & Methodology

With increasing numbers of children attending preschool, it is vitally important that the latest research be made available to guide the development of practices that can shape these young minds. So, at Sancheti Toddlers, we ensure to be updated with new revelations in child psychology.

At Sancheti Toddlers, the teaching-learning approach is based on the objectives of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program.

ECE is a child-oriented program that follows the activity-integrated or play-way approach and aims to provide a stimulating environment for the child’s intellectual, language, social, emotional, and physical development.

For imparting Early Childhood Education programs, the following methodologies are followed in teaching:

ACTIVITY ORIENTED

This approach follows the learning-by-doing methodology. The fundamental principles of ‘Learning by Doing’ are Involvement, Participation, and Contribution, which certainly have a more prolonged impact on the child’s brain regarding development. We provide the children real-life experiences through special activities, including thinking, conversation, movement, and creativity.

PLAYWAY METHOD

The play-way method is child-oriented and caters to individual needs, interests, and abilities. Play is second nature to a child. It is a natural way for them to explore, express, and be involved with the world around them. Our effective program is based on providing concrete first-hand experiences to the child. We understand that at this age, they can perceive things more effectively on a sensory level.

Domains of Development

PHYSICAL & MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

The childhood of every Sanchetian should be no less than a carnival of good memories, love, and enjoyment, and we at Sancheti Toddlers ensure they get ample opportunities to run, play, and simply be themselves! Natural growth occurs best when children have lots of fun. And all that fun happens at our splash pool, sand dump, doll house, and the most colourful play area.

INTELLECTUAL & COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

The IQ of a child just doesn’t depend on the genes alone but on the opportunities he/she gets to use his mind. Children between the ages of 2.5 and 5 years are at a stage of cognitive development when their thinking is governed by their perception, and they learn through first-hand experience of the environment. Children at Sancheti Toddlers are given opportunities to learn analytical skills to successfully deal with life situations.

Critical Areas in Intellectual & Cognitive Development

  • Sensory Development
  • Problem Solving and Reasoning
  • Development of Basic Concepts

LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

What good is knowledge that cannot be expressed! Language learning provides the foundation for all later learning. When children enter preschool, they are already using a language at home. Sancheti Toddlers gives them the right experiences and environment to increase their vocabulary steadily and rapidly.

Critical areas in Language Development:

  • Development of Listening Skills
  • Development of Vocabulary related to Body, Home, and Environment
  • Development of Oral Expression
  • Development of Reading Readiness
  • Development of Writing Skills

SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Each child has his/her own unique ‘Personality,’ which is the outcome of inheritance, social/cultural groups, different sorts of interactions, regular appreciation, and exposure. Sancheti Toddlers provides the right kind of peer group, forming the learning ground for the child about proper behaviour, friendship, and sharing.

Critical areas in Socio-Emotional Development:

  • Development of Good Personal Habits
  • Development of the Self-Confidence
  • Development of the ability to respect the feelings of others and relate with adults
  • Result of attitude of care towards the environment

DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION

Each child has inborn creativity. All we need to do is give them encouragement and opportunities for free, theatrical, and constructive play to foster creativity. We provide children a stimulating environment to discover their talents like dancing, art and craft, music, clay moulding, etc.

Critical areas in the Development of Creative Expression:

  • Creative Expression through Art
  • Creative Movement
  • Creative Thinking
