KINDERGARTEN
Areas of learning experiences
The word ‘Kindergarten’ literally means ‘children’s garden’. Every child is, therefore, taken care of and nurtured like plants in this garden. Along with parents, who are really the first teachers in educating the child, we see that transition of a child from home environment to school environment is made as smooth as possible. We follow ‘Learning by Doing’ method through creative activities in order to meet the developmental needs of children. As part of our vision, a child is motivated to learn with pleasure to be spiritually oriented, socially acceptable, physically healthy, emotionally balanced, environmentally sensible, verbally sound, logically alert, artistically talented and rhythmically graceful.
