Our Core Values
Caring, Empowering, Inclusive: Our Teddy Bear-inspired Preschool's Core Values
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE)
According to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
Brain Development
The early years of a child's life are a critical period for brain development. 85% of brain development takes place within the first six years. Quality early childhood education programs provide stimulating environments that support cognitive development, language acquisition, and social skills.
Socialization
Early childhood education fosters socialization skills, teaching children how to interact with peers and adults, share, cooperate, and communicate effectively. These social skills are essential for success in school and later in life.
Parental Support
Early childhood education programs often involve parents and caregivers, providing them with resources, support, and guidance on how to support their child's learning and development at home. This partnership between educators and families strengthens the overall learning experience for the child.
Language Development
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in language development by exposing children to rich language experiences through storytelling, songs, conversations, and interactive activities. This helps children develop vocabulary, grammar, and language comprehension skills, laying the foundation for literacy and academic success.
Academic Readiness
High-quality early childhood education programs lay the foundation for future academic success. They introduce children to basic concepts such as numbers, letters, shapes, and colors, preparing them for formal schooling.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY
We place a strong focus on early literacy and reading skills. Research shows that early literacy development has numerous benefits for children. Reading early not only lays the foundation for academic success but also fosters a lifelong love of learning and exploration. Early readers develop stronger language skills, improved cognitive abilities, and enhanced concentration and focus. Additionally, reading early promotes social and emotional development, as children engage with characters, themes, and ideas from a variety of perspectives.
During the formative period of early childhood, children's brains are rapidly developing, making it an optimal time to introduce foundational concepts in language, literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills. The pedagogical methodology for early childhood education prioritizes play-based learning, inquiry, and hands-on exploration, where children are encouraged to engage their senses, touching and feeling for themselves, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts.
A cornerstone of our approach is building nurturing, trust-based connections as the foundation for learning, ensuring every child feels valued and supported. Respecting children's opinions, feelings, and experiences boosts their self-esteem and confidence. It validates their sense of worth and contributes to their overall well-being. Recognizing their agency acknowledges their ability to make choices and decisions that affect their lives. Giving children opportunities to express themselves, make choices, and solve problems promotes cognitive, emotional, and social development. It enhances their critical thinking skills, creativity, and resilience.
Experiential learning experiences are tailored to each child's unique needs through differentiation and individual learning pathways, ensuring that every learner can succeed. In our classrooms, success is defined by growth and progress, and every child is celebrated for their achievements. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, we empower children to become confident, curious, and lifelong learners.
