Academics


Our preschool program can help prepare your child for success in school and in life. New research on the brain and on learning shows how important the early years are in a child's learning and development. What happens in preschool matters a lot and what you do at home is even more important. The Preschool education is classed under four basic categories as follows:

PLAYGROUP :

Our Toddler programs, designed for children ages 1.5 years to 2.5 year of age, focus on a period of tremendous development and growth. During this stage, children develop 80% of their personality, enhance their mobility & improve their gross and fine motor skills. It is a critical time of development for a child.Children are not required to be potty-trained to enter this program. Your toddler is sharp, quick on the uptake, curious, eager to learn and full of energy. He is also toilet trained. You think the child is ready for school, but his age doesn't put him in the school going bracket.

We have the answer for you. At our Play Class, we have a blend of the traditional and the modern education. Play Class is a child's first step away from home. The three hours spent here are designed for them to enjoy, learn and to adjust. Their foray into Nursery next year would be without the pangs of separation, anxiety and stress.Play, music, colour activity, story telling and dramatics form the day's routine for the child. Timings are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon (Monday through Friday).

NURSERY :

Nursery Class is the transition class which forms the key note for kindergarten while aiming at optimal development of children. Interesting teacher guided activities like singing, dancing, dramatic play, oral expression, story telling, informal physical education, the morning assembly and the creative sessions expose the child to an entire new world where learning is fun, exciting and something to look forward to. As the child approaches the kindergarten age, formal preschool education is tackled and a readiness for writing, number work and general awareness is gradually cultivated.

KINDERGARTEN (LKG and UKG) :

The Poly Kids is equipped with a variety of materials and tools for experimenting and learning. It lays strong learning foundations, enriching the child's life, as he grows familiar with the world around him. Phonetic system for the letters of the alphabet are followed, which helps the child to read on his own by the time he completes kindergarten. Teaching curriculum is so designed as to make the learning process exciting, informative and participatory. Teacher's involvement is total in each of our classes. Special attention is paid to all children and weak areas are developed and tackled in a systematic manner.

CURRICULUM

Our curriculum identifies goals in four areas of development:
Social/Emotional
To help children develop independence, self-confidence and self-control, follow rules and routines, make friends, and learn what it means to be part of a group.
Physical
To increase children's large muscle skills-balancing, running, jumping, throwing and catching and use the small muscles in their hands to do tasks like buttoning, stringing beads, cutting, drawing, and writing.
Cognitive
To acquire thinking skills such as the ability to solve problems, to ask questions, and to think logically sorting, classifying, comparing, counting, and making patterns and to use materials and their imagination to show what they have learned..
Language
To use words to communicate with others, listen to and participate in conversations with others, understand the purpose of print, recognize letters and words, and begin writing for a purpose.
At The Poly Kids no child is an 'underachiever' or 'weak'. Unlike in traditional schools, art, crafts, aesthetic values, sport and games are not labelled "extra" or co-curricular. They are part of the curriculum.
The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when Man's intelligence itself is being formed."
