PreKG

PreKG at Kailash School of Excellence starts with acclimatising and familiarising children with their new daily environment at school. After children settle in, which usually takes up to 3 weeks, they are introduced to EPL (Exercise of practical life) and sensorial materials. Apart from that children also spend time with open-ended materials which include materials from nature and also blocks. Nature walks on campus and collection of materials from the environment is part of the regular curriculum. Rhyme time involves finger rhymes and also regular kindergarten themed songs. During circle time there is a lot of focus on children moving around in animal movements, creeping, crawling, balance walk, bean bags, balancing using bean bags as well as opportunities to express themselves, and a lot of listening through stories and object talk. Even storytelling in this grade is much subtler than in higher grades. Natural materials are used to set the story corner and it is there for the entire fortnight or a month for the kids to go and observe.

KG 1

KG 1 at Kailash School of Excellence is marked by aggregate reinforcement of all that was introduced in PreKG along with a formal introduction to alphabet sounds and numbers through tracing using Montessori materials and small movables. Tracing is important because children are still very sensitive to touch till about 3.5 to 4 years of age. Therefore, be it letters of the alphabet or numbers they can assimilate sensorial and muscular memory impressions. The rhymes and stories at circle time get a little more vocabulary-rich and impromptu role playing based on stories narrated are encouraged to bring about confidence and social interaction skills in children. Object talk and riddles challenge children to think about things they see in their environment. Animals and nature are explored a little more in detail. The emphasis on EPL, sensorial, open-ended material play, movement and outdoor play continues.
