Student Life

  On arrival, children are welcomed and channeled into the groups of their respective teachers who then lead them to the rooms allocated to each age group. The day begins with the “Circle time”, when all the children gather for group activities. We plan books, songs, and activities that will encourage the children to interact, building verbal, listening, and social skills. It’s a special time to share finger plays, chants and rhymes, sing songs, read a story, and participate in movement games and relaxation activities as a group. Circle time is also a wonderful time to develop listening skills and attention spans, promote oral communication, teach new concepts and skills, and have FUN. This helps children to find their own way of learning through movement, music, pinups, sensations and emotions.

Each day, half an hour is dedicated to the Brain Gym^® and Power Brain Education^® – a program that provides a unique and interactive environment to improve the intellectual, social, emotional and physical skills of the child. Slightly different from Circle time, Brain Gym is a set of movement activities such as “crawling, drawing, tracing symbols in the air, yawning, and drinking water” that help children to:
• Learn faster and more easily
• Perform better at sports
• Be more focused and organized
• Start and finish projects with ease
• Overcome learning challenges
• Reach new levels of excellence

The basic idea behind Brain Gym^® is that the brain will develop, and learning will be enhanced, by certain bodily movements. Yoga class.
