The following subjects are taught at our KG:

We follow the State Board Education system.

Language :

A whole lot of rhymes, songs and stories are told to the children. Along with emphasis on pre reading and writing skills, alphabet (A a– Z z) are introduced for recognizing the letters and pronouncing them with its correct phonics sound. Children are introduced to two, three, four and five letter words. Gradually they learn to read, make correct usage through conversation and write them in question answer and paragraph form.

Numbers :

Child’s develops the ability to recognize, correlate and write basic numbers (0 – 9). Further numbers are added up to 100. Pre - math and math concepts like shapes, concepts like big/small, more/less etc. are introduced to them. Children are introduced to set theory, simple addition and subtraction.

General Knowledge :

Child is made aware of his/her responsibility towards Self, School, Family, Cleanliness, Manners, Birds, Animals, Water, Our Helpers, Seasons etc.

Art & Craft :

Child’s creativity, aesthetic appreciation and a sense of accomplishment is developed, through the wonders of colours and papers.

Free play activities :

Research indicates that children learn best in an environment which allows them to explore, discover, and play. Play is an important part of a developmentally appropriate child care program. It is also closely tied to the development of cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical behaviors. Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.

Concepts :

These are usually taught to a child during his/her early years. Child learns by listening to adults, following commands, and participating in routine activities. Understanding and using basic concepts helps a child; he/she learns to read and understand what they’ve read or written. They also help children become more effective communicators. Basic concepts help build pre-reading and early mathematics skills, strengthen a child’s vocabulary, and are building blocks of early learning.

Value Education :

Values can be defined as “form - fitting objectives, principles” that guides people's lives. Values are the essence of our personality, and affect us to make decisions, trust people and arrange our time and energy in our social life. Values are the effective cultural element which shape around the point of view of individuals and holds the members of a community together. Value education helps people to develop values and serves to establish a fulfilling life. Values training should be the part of education to help children gain a more universal human mind.

Our World :

Preschoolers are actively developing their sense of self and who they are in the world. Our preschool teachers create respectful and diverse learning environments, helping children understand the world they inhabit. Teachers also present unique experiences for children, enhancing a preschooler's sense of responsibility and compassion for people, such as:

• Sharing cultural and family traditions with the class
• Working with peers on community service projects
• Experiencing the comforting words and gestures of teachers and peers
• Exploring photos of children and adults who are similar or different from us
• Playing collaboratively with peers

Well Aware :

Because young children are forming attitudes and behaviors that will influence them throughout their lives, it is important to expose them to experiences that foster their ability to make good health decisions, develop a positive self-image, make healthy nutrition choices, and show respect for their bodies. At IES KG Bhandup, our preschool teachers provide children with varied opportunities and materials geared towards developing healthy lifelong habits, such as:

• Identifying nutritious foods and how they help our bodies grow
• Taking responsibility for his/her own basic hygiene such as proper hand washing and covering his/her coughs
• Engaging in physical activities - hopping, climbing, yoga
