The Methodology
The safe and child friendly environment provides children with the opportunity to explore and learn freely. Children have freedom of choice and movement. They are not forced to do any activity, but instead motivated and encouraged to try out new things. Utmost care is taken to build good habits and develop independence in children. Children are exposed to both individual and group that are mostly hands on, giving them learning opportunities that are very close to real life. These activities also help develop their social and emotional behaviour. Learning at ISD Kindergarten happens in a completely play based way, making it fun and adventurous every step of the way.
At ISD KINDERGARTEN every child is considered as an individual and thus assessed individually. The assessment concentrates completely on their development milestones set in line with the UK based Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
