In pursuing these aspirations, the major task and calling of the teacher is to nurture the self-esteem of each child. Through this our students will develop a strong sense of self-worth and will be transformed into a complete person who is ready to tackle any future learning activity.

Kidz Care Kastle - Day Care Centre

At Hiranandani Fortune City, Panvel, we shall soon be starting our very own Daycare centre named Kidz Care Kastle.

Play Way Method Of Teaching

Daycare centre, popularly known as a day nursery, or crèche is an institution that provides supervision and care of infants and young children during the daytime, particularly so that their parents can hold jobs. Daycare teachers develop lesson plans that include a variety of activities revolving around a theme, whether it be numbers, food, animals, the alphabet or any other idea that encourages academic development. At Panvel, the Daycare Lesson Plan will also include, learning through play, organizing activities related to academics and extra curricular activities.

Play-way method of teaching is a means of the subjective and emotional development of the child, that is, development in terms of intellect, skills and feelings. Play-way method is structured on activity-based learning. It encourages creative skills and self-expression. Playing is the predominant factor in this method.

Enquiry Based Learning and the KWL Chart

The chart is a comprehension strategy used to activate background knowledge prior to reading and is completely student centred. The teacher divides a piece of chart paper into three columns. The rst column, 'K', is for what the students already know about a topic. This step is to be completed before the reading. The next column, 'W', is for students to list what they want to learn about the topic during the reading. The third column, 'L', is for what the students learned from the reading. This step, of course, is done after nishing the reading. The KWL chart can also be used in reading instruction at the beginning of a new unit.

Our Day Care Phi losophy

• The early childhood sta at the centre is committed to a life-long learning.

• Sta members will be encouraged to be active leaders in the eld through continuous training.

Here is what the KWL chart can look like:

• A value-centred curriculum will be followed.

• Family is respected as the most important teacher in a child’s life; therefore, communication, cooperation with families and meeting children’s individual needs will be of utmost importance. • The early childhood sta at the centre will serve as an integral part of each child’s family by recognizing the need for nurturing and respecting children’s own level of development. • Playing outdoor every day in the fresh air and encouraging the children to respect nature will be a mandatory activity. This will promote adventurous and imaginative play.
