To facilitate our way of teaching, the classrooms are designed as beehive clusters of octagonal huts that provide easy access outside, so that children can interact with and learn from their natural surroundings.
At Mother Care School, learning is fun for the child, aided by a curriculum that is designed for ‘learning by doing’. Our activities include:
Drawing, colouring and painting
Clay work, puzzles, building blocks, jigsaws
Craft: origami, papier-mâché
Games: races, hurdles, sports, physical training, yoga, swimming, indoor and outdoor games
Singing, poems, dancing, body movements, dramatizations, story telling
Video films
Cooking, gardening projects, pet care and many more activities.
Along with this extensive schedule, reading, writing and number skills are learnt in an interesting manner, in the class room and also through computers and CD ROMs.
Special emphasis is laid on clarifying concepts. All the different activities are woven around a theme that interests the children. Once their involvement is ensured, they are given the freedom to investigate, interact with each other and try out activities at their own pace.
All this is done without fear of comparison or pressure from the teachers. That is also why we do not believe in giving homework or in examination schemes. Tuitions and coachings are also discouraged. Each child feels loved and nurtured, thus, giving him a high sense of self-esteem.
