Best Playgroup School for Toddlers in India- Footprints Childcare
At Footprints Education, we take pride in offering a Playgroup Program that is not just a place for your child to play, but a place for them to learn, grow, and flourish. We follows the HighScope Curriculum, awarded as "Leading Preschool in India" by BW education. Our Play group program is meticulously designed to foster essential skills, promote creativity, and ensure a seamless transition into formal schooling.
HighScope classrooms follow a predictable sequence of events known as the daily routine. This provides a structure within which children can make choices, follow their interests, and develop their abilities in each content area.
CHOICE TIME
- Giving choices to children always helps in sharpening their decision-making skills.
- At this time of the day children are given the choice and the required material to choose from and play with.
- Under play group program, children then focus on how they can use their potential skills to transform a toy into an invention.
- This is the time when we can see children creating farms from an empty carton and robes from old clothes.
SMALL-GROUP TIME
- A small group is a prerequisite for being child-centric to identify the individual strengths and challenges
- The children here come in small groups and through the interaction with the teachers, they are closely observed and scaffolded to do each activity.
