The youngest children community. Little Gems Play-school is a venture of the Ashok Hall Group of Schools, yet another milestone in bringing quality education closer to your homes. Little Gems Play-school is a gathering of children from eighteen months of age to three years who have established independent walking. Within a nurturing environment, Montessori-trained Guides foster the development of gross and fine motor skills, independence and language. These most profound and fundamental early years of life are protected and enhanced according to their characteristics and needs. The following will give you a flavour of Little Gems Play School
Great care is given to provide an environment that is safe both emotionally and physically, that invites extensive exploration, offers hands-on activities, and engages the child in receptive and expressive language.
The environment is designed for the child of 18-months (and walking) through the age of 2½ to 3-years. The child of this age is a sensorial explorer facing important developmental issues of separation and attachment, autonomy, and functional independence. Activities concentrating on food, clothing, language, movement, the senses, and the hands are given utmost care because they are both of primal interest and core importance to the children.
Our environment is very meticulously developed under expert supervision. Toddlers at this age usually absorb everything and anything they come across. Hence we make sure to build up the environment appropriate for future successors. Every object, material, book, and picture has been chosen with care and deliberation for placement in the environment. Every piece of furniture, and artefact is lovingly selected. Nothing broken or with pieces missing is allowed to be a part of it either. These activities allow the children to express their distinct individuality and to create in their own unique way. Materials for scribbling, painting, and modelling clay are presented for the children's exploration. Listening to music awakens and develops specific areas of the brain and stimulates emotional responsiveness. Singing songs and reciting together is a daily activity that strengthens the emotional bonds of the community. Children who are still nonverbal during the enrolment are always taken into special attention to make sure that they start communicating sooner.
