Positive learning experiences at an early age contribute to the development of each childs sense of self and emotional well being. Our e ort is to provide quality education.

We believe in celebrating childhood through the four Cs required for preschool education: curiosity, condence, creativity and continuity for every venture of a child at Shanti Juniors.

The three Cs (Curiosity, Condence and Creativity) are nurtured in three steps of the I cube learning ladder. While the fourth C, is an on going reinforcement.

innovation

To give wings like a free bird to the mind of a child to think, recreate and innovate making it an experience that she/he cherishes for life. Learning is all about remembering ones own experiences and nurturing creativity forever. To ensure that the curiosity developed is sustained i.e. encourage him/her to not only enquire, ask random or relevant questions but to take it further. Thereby, increasing the condence of the child. Learning is to facilitate the child to be inquisitive about a subject, topic, object & concept.

Logical

Understanding

Based on the scaffolding theory of Vygotsky children learn through different sources : from teachers, from peers and sometimes by themselves. It also caters to the needs of each learning style of children as directed by Authors, Lauren Broadway and Barbara Albers Hill of Bestseller How to Maximize Childrens Learning Ability.

Learning is not only within four walls

class room
A kaleidoscope of activities, community understanding & involvement as well as in-house events will support the all round development of children at Shanti Juniors. We believe that learning becomes much more e ective and relevant through hands on experiences, dramatizing concepts learnt, applying the learnings in real life. Activities: A typical day is full of various activities to develop motor skills, life skills as well as social skills. Field trips: Experiential learning through eld trips and collecting information satisfying curiosity of the child is important. Through eld-trips the emphasis is on discovering by ones own self. Celebration of days: Learning lled with fun and celebration is best remembered by children. Hence Thematic Days celebration is an ongoing process. We also provide children an opportunity to celebrate various festivals.

partners

parents as

At Shanti Juniors, learning involves the child, the teacher and the parent, thus encouraging a warm and open relationship between them. We regard parents as co-educators and actively seek to involve them in the school community through various outreach programs. We appreciate parents getting involved in childrens education through projects and being a resource for their expertise in di erent skills, sharing information, volunteering for eld trips, storytelling, sharing socializing skills etc.

Communication between parents and home is the key to good relationship. We provide a variety of avenues for communication and interaction between preschool and home. Parents Workshops Specic explanation of the next months curriculum and the method of teaching for the forth coming month. Parent Teacher Meetings Detailed discussion of childs progress and exchange of learning and learning styles of children. Regular Students Report Detailed specic developmental milestones. A continuous comprehensive evaluation will be an ongoing process. Childrens day-to-day progress is observed and noted by teachers to share with parents. Workshops & Seminars To keep parents well informed about handling children to enhance learning and growth of children. Thus, increasing their skills to make childrens learning smooth and comfortable. Parental Feedback We encourage parents to observe the child closely and thereafter to give feedback on childs progress.
