The Remodeled Kindergarten Curriculum
“It takes a village to nurture a child.” This age old African proverb becomes literally and essentially true at The Village International School. Our nurtury as we lovingly call it, not only encourages our little ones to explore but also to realize who they are.
As we step into a new year, keeping in mind, the need for children to be aligned to the natural world, in order to have a healthy body and a happy mind, the curriculum has been remodeled and renamed as Happiness Curriculum.
The curriculum as recommended by the novel education policy is enriched by adopting the emergent literacy approach advocated by Marie Clay, a pioneer in early childhood education from New Zealand. The innovations are complimentary to the time tested Montessori Method being followed here since its inception.
As we lead more insulated lives, most of the GEN Z population is disconnected from the natural world and fail to empathize with their co habitants.
At The Nurtury, our parents aren’t simply stake holders. They are partners in the implementation of the happiness curriculum. The beautiful flower garden will be planted by the parents of the respective classes. Volunteering as Chief guests during assemblies to encourage the kids and taking turns to entertain them during the mom and dad sessions will make school life a bouquet of memorable moments for the tiny tots.
Khalil Gibran, the great poet rightly put into words the essence of education through this beautiful quote.
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.”
