Online Classes:
As we have accommodated ourselves to the new normal, confined to our homes and taking solace in many ways virtually, we continue to hope that our Centers will be filled by the chatter and laughter of our dear children. In the meantime, we need to ensure learning never stops.
We successfully deployed our STEP-AHEAD Online preschool learning program since June 1, 2020, and are happy to see positive parents’ responses and progressive development in children.
Pre-schoolers need a balanced blend of learning sessions with teachers, which includes hands-on activities, student-teacher interaction, and peer-group interaction. During this online learning session, the focal point remains learning, but roles change. The child becomes an independent active learner, the parent becomes the supervisor, and the teacher facilitates learning.
Keeping this in mind, we request the active participation and involvement of parents to successfully execute the curriculum and ensure kids are learning, adapting, accommodating, and having fun at the same time.
It will take some time for the children to get used to the new format. Slowly but surely, with your support, we will handhold them through the process.
Since we continue to be in lockdown, we have created timetables considering several factors such as batch sizes, splitting of the same batch due to exceeding minimum numbers, teacher availability, and the average attention span of children of a particular age group.
The STEP-AHEAD online program has been created and curated by the Management to ensure that our children receive the best, and all learning objectives are achieved through the implementation of this plan.
Once it is safe, we will soon start conducting these classes from within the school premises. Stay home, stay safe, and let the learning continue!
The Online Preschool is a Blend of the Following:
- Interactive Online Sessions
- Study & Practice Online Material for “At Home” Practice and Activity Suggestions
- Videos for Concept Introduction that kids can repeatedly watch and learn
- Monthly Assessments – Based on Online Session response, Assignments, and Parent Feedback
- Regular Parent Orientations and Meetings
