In NPS, the Kindergarten is a dynamic environment in which we see significant developments in physical, emotional and intellectual growth from the formative years to graduation. These are the ‘Foundation Years’ during which early linguistic and arithmetic basics, scope for creative play and expression, physical fitness and constructive socialization are stressed upon to build childhood competencies. This is the time when good habits are instilled and a sense of identity and place take shape.
Great emphasis is laid on a child’s all-round development. For us academics is as important as extra-curricular activities. We work towards bringing out the latent talents of our children and hone their skills so that they achieve perfection in their respective spheres. There is a thoughtful balance between teacher-directed work and child-directed activities. Our children form attitudes about learning that last a lifetime. It is not surprising therefore that our children remain adventurous learners throughout their lives.
Storytelling, poetry recitation, singing, drama and dance are also a part of the Kindergarten programme which help enhance classroom learning. Emphasis is placed on understanding the child; his concentration levels, memory, reasoning and creativity.
A system of “Continuous Informal Evaluation”, based on class work, theme-based worksheets and observation sessions is followed.
