Methodology And Curriculum:
Our curriculum aims to develop the whole child, primarily focusing on children’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. The unique feature of our syllabus is that, it is innovative, thematic and skill based. It is a combination of integrated concepts that provides hands on (Montessori Method) and exploratory (Rudolf Steiner Method) which makes learning fun and enjoyable.
Our learning Process integrates creativity and academic development that encourages curiosity and joy of learning. Children are free to grow, develop and discover their full potential in an environment that is caring and rooted in the familiarity of their context.
Little Elly curriculum includes the following:
Concept Development
At little Elly, the teaching of concepts are formulated through activities, songs and games. And a variety of hands on experience through which the child can explore and learn about the world around them.
Fine Motor Co-ordination
Children are introduced to some of the materials in the motor skills room. In this area, kids are welcome to practice every day skills that work on fine-motor skills, eye-hand coordination. Fine motor skills are the basis for the preparation of the hand. Fine motor skills development at Little Elly has a wider role than just writing – they are a necessity for daily living: dressing, eating, etc.
Formal Work Preparation
Reading is the foundation of all learning. We have a range of exciting activities to help children acquire pre-reading and reading skills
Music and Movement
It is observed that music and movement helps the child to have longer attention spans, which helps to improve the listening abilities and the development of language and Vocabulary skills. This period will be fun time for the child and they will love it.
Creative Arts
Mixing colors, scribbling across a black board, painting and shaping objects – may look amusing to adults, but they are a great way to teach new way of thinking, creating and communicating with images as well as words.
Mathematical concepts
Kids are never too young to start learning math skills. Our math’s program allows hands on exploration, active investigation and the use of manipulation. Counting, sorting, and even working puzzles are all important first steps to a solid learning.
Field Trips
Since children learn best through direct experiences, LE organizes outdoor field trips like visit to the fire station, Supermarket and Parks for our young explorers. |
