Foundation Years – Nursery to Grade 2

Teaching Learning Pedagogy

Our teaching-learning process is designed to give children a strong foundation in academics and simultaneously enrich personal development. It is the right blend of progressive curriculum and traditional curriculum.

We encourage our little learners to thrive in their new world, imbibing concepts in a safe, caring environment, through imaginative, creative methods and inter-disciplinary hands-on learning. They learn using their senses, movement, a multitude of interesting materials, and play to explore, investigate and collaborate. And true to our philosophy, this helps them to become lifetime learners.

Curriculum

We believe in holistic development of a child. Hence we mentor our children to become confident and curious through our innovative pedagogy.

We amalgamate the best practices of education such as – Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence, which encourages children to continually question why and how things look and function the way they do, Montessori method, Gandji ji’s 3 Hs – Head , Hand and Heart , Domains of development – Physical , Psychological , Cognitive , Social – Emotional . Learners are given opportunities to practice and enhance their inherent intelligences to promote the ‘whole child’ development.

The Pre Primary curriculum is designed to have a sense of wonder and inquiry as the centre of all learning. At Foundation Level at The Ivy Global School we try to go beyond reading, writing and brush upon all “Panch Koshas” defined by National Curriculum Frameworks (NCF) of NEP 2020.
