My Play School

My Play School aims at providing education, which instills values, enables students to explore their surroundings and learn through fun and play. Combining the traditional Montessori method with the more interactive participatory approach, the curriculum and methodology is designed to ensure that the child adds value to his growth - each moment, each day. "Learning can be fun" translates to factual reality where the child, through music, dramatic play, story telling, group activity, communication, creative and visual imagery and the introduction to the 3 R's develops confidence, self esteem and a 'yearning for learning'. In an informal setting, focus is on play, spontaneity and on an elimination of everything, which could condition or regiment the child's perspective. The emphasis is on all-round development, which encompasses emotional and social development, gross and fine motor skills, language development and academic skills. Since class composition is small, interactive communication and personal attention are available to each child. With assistants as back up support and school time is well planned. In the 2 to 5 years age group, My Play School has 3 classes - the Play Class (which is for two and a half hours), Nursery and Lower Kindergarten. There is no stress on rote learning. Readiness for literacy and numerical skills is gradually created. At all times the individual child's pace of development is respected. Neeru Chaddha is the Director of the School. Along with a dedicated, caring staff and helpers, the transition from home to school is made as smooth as possible.
