Glowing Stars

The concept of teaching tiny tots through play-way method and without burdening the tender shoulders of little children with books and bags was a dream of Mrs.

Gerda Philipsborn of Germany and also of the great educationist Dr. Zakir Husain. This concept very successfully took the shape of Glowing Stars, Play Garden for Kids in 2007. And since then, it has grown tremendously. Here at the Glowing Stars, the children are given a congenial and happy environment for a healthy and all-round development of their personality, so that in the long run they emerge

as confident social beings; ready to come out in the competitive world. Effort is towards bringing out the best in each child's personality. Our methodology is innovative and dynamic and is carried out by well trained teachers who are pedagogically trained to deliver maximum quality teaching and to developing the knowledge and understanding of our students. The children entering the playschool are totally new to the school environment as compared to their cozy and protected home environment. To begin with, our teachers do their best to win the confidence of these children and instill in them a feeling of trust in order to help them adjust and get familiarized with the new environment. The teachers and other staff members are there in the school an hour earlier than the children and they leave the school after planning, preparing and arranging, the classrooms for the next day. The children in this age group are tremendously active; always running, jumping and holding/carrying things. Our school has enough space, both indoors and outdoors, to give freedom of movement to these young children so that they can move about freely and use equipment for play in creative and purposeful ways. We base our methodology on the four linguistic skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. We place most emphasis on the first two skills in order to develop the last two after having reached an optimum level of comprehension and oral interaction . Parents leave their children at Playschool in the care of trained and experienced staff, where they will participate in a mix of free and directed activities. The program is designed to introduce an environment where a simple routine is in place. It is hoped that Playschool will ease the transition to Formal School.
