Preschool days are the most important phase for a child’s emotional development; it’s when the child builds his/her confidence and self esteem. It is imperative to give children positive attention, guidance to learn and accept mistakes and help them develop confidence in their abilities as they work towards building self-esteem, confidence, problem-solving skills and social skills.

To help our children excel in life skills, we organize regular co-curricular activities such as storytelling, fancy dress, concert, etc. 

Children’s creative expression, self-esteem and interpretation skills – all of which can go a long way in empowering them.

At Little Stars Pre-primary, children are involved in fun-filled activities to help them recognize various letters and numbers. They also develop vocabulary skills related to letters which contribute to their language. Further, skills like sorting, matching and pairing of numbers are also learnt. Opportunities are created so children are involved in various games and activities to identify, observe and play with numbers throughout the day. The correct pronunciation of the sounds of the letters of the Alphabet are very important for spelling and reading in Grade 1

At Little Stars Pre-Primary, children are engaged in intellectual activities like solving puzzles and building towers to develop memory and observation skills, problem solving, sequencing and seriation. This approach serve as a great medium for children to boost their cognitive and gross-motor skills while learning to manipulate the world around them. When children turn, flip, and turn things, they develop hand-eye coordination in an interesting manner.

Understanding and using basic concepts help children to learn, read and understand their environment. They also help children become more effective communicators.
At Little Stars Pre-Primary, children are taught different concepts such as fruits, vegetables, numbers, descriptions, transports, and so on through a range of highly engaging activities. Concepts also boost observation skills of kids and allow them grasp things quickly and actively. All the activities are planned using an integrated approach, wherein the child is encouraged to recognise and learn attributes, colours and shapes of related items through a single concept. It is a wonderful medium of interactive instruction and is a great source of bringing real learning opportunities to little kids.

With clay, children learn how to mould and create things around them, understand colours and shapes of the objects and give life to their imagination, using something that they can touch, see and feel. To develop fine motor, imaginative and creative skills in kids, we conduct regular clay moulding sessions at Little Stars Pre-Primary. Children are encouraged to play with clay and create shapes and objects. These sessions also enhances the hand-eye coordination among children.

Art and craft activities are an important part in the child’s overall development. Not only is it a fun activity but also helps in developing a child’s creativity. Children enjoy playing with textures and materials as well as putting together and taking apart objects to create something unique, something new. It provides a new set of skills for self-expression, communication and endless amazement for the children. Craft work enhances their creativity and contributes to the pre-writing skills and the child develops grasping power by holding colours, cutting patterns and drawing shapes.

Circle time is the time when friendship blossoms as children interact, socialize and share their thoughts and experiences with each other. Various activities are designed, creating opportunities for kids to experience the joy of talking and communicating with each other. On a regular day, teacher and children gather together in a circle to create a rich weave of rhymes, games and songs. Developing social, emotional, and personal skills are some of the primary objectives of Circle Time. The activity also fosters problem solving skills, language building and confidence as children are encouraged to express their views freely.

Children have an innate love for stories. They have the power to create magic and a sense of adventure in the classroom. Stories are a great way to teach children about life, about ourselves and others. At Little Stars Pre-Primary, storytelling is a unique way for children to develop an understanding about the world around them. It creates interest in children as the character comes to live in front of them and captures their attention and imagination. Children learn about good social habits, traffic rules, sharing, etc. through stories. They also develop language and imaginative skills and as they narrate and listen to stories.

There is no substitute for creative and imaginative play when it comes to teaching. Every child is born with an imagination. Allowing children to exercise their imagination enhances their creativity and creates better social understanding. This is the strength of children – their ability to pretend and fix problems with their imagination.
Play is how children learn and pretend play is an ideal way to exercise their creativity and imagination. At Little Stars Pre-Primary, opportunities are created for our little one’s to blend their skills and knowledge together. To create a better understanding of various concepts, they are engaged in pretend play or role plays. Through this activity, they develop love, respect, and appreciation for the world around them. Imaginary plays also allow kids to develop vocabulary, language and social skills while having loads of fun.

Puppets are toys that fascinate children; they connect as friends. It’s also a great way to draw the attention and imagination of preschooler’s and offers amazing benefits in a child’s development. At Little Stars Pre-Primary, we believe learning is fun and it is with this belief that we encourage puppet play as part of our curriculum. It enhances their interest levels and inculcates various concepts like good habits, sharing, caring, etc. It also helps the kids develop vocabulary, and improve communication and listening skills. By organising puppet plays, we strive to bring stories to life and thus instil valuable skills in kids. Overall, puppet play offers a fun-filled learning experience to our little ones.

Children move naturally. They move to achieve mobility, express a thought or feeling, and because it is joyful.
At Little Stars Pre-Primary, we aim to build a foundation for our children, giving a structure to their movements and introduce them to the world of dance. Children involved in dance helps to boost their body strength, flexibility and confidence. It’s a great way to help them learn about body coordination and body awareness while spending quality time with their peers. It also infuses a sense of rhythm, flexibility and co-ordination.
