ADMISSION DETAILS

We welcome children in the age group of 2 years to 4 years. Parents whose children are registered are called for a meeting in the school alongwith the child, dates of which are intimated in writing.

We do not interview children, although children must accompany their parents. Admissions are entirely discretionary. Through the interview we seek to establish whether the school's goals about education and the parents are synchronized. It is an essential step to ensure that each child will be able to develop his/her potential to the fullest. As we are flooded with admission requests, we can only take a fixed number. Some parents are disappointed in the process. We would like to ensure parents that each child is wonderful, but we are unable to accommodate every child.

The offer of admission is valid only if it is in writing. A waiting list is maintained to fill vacancies. Appointment with the Director may be made by calling the office.

For further details please contact the school office.

Play Class

Your toddler is sharp, quick on the uptake, curious, eager to learn and full of energy. He is also toilet trained. You think the child is ready for school, but his age doesn't put him in the school going bracket.

We have the answer for you. At our Play Class, we have a blend of the traditional and the modern. The environment combines the comfort and security of home on one hand, and the challenge, excitement and innovation of a pre-school on the other.

Play Class is a child's first step away from home. The two and a half hour spent here are designed for them to enjoy, learn and to adjust. Their foray into Nursery next year would be without the pangs of separation, anxiety and stress.

Play, music, colour activity, story telling and dramatics form the day's charter for the child. A major part of the day is spent outdoors.

• There is no school uniform.
• Timings are from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon (Monday through Friday).
• Parents have to make their own transport arrangements.
• Children are free to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
• There is no formal syllabus, hence no prescribed books.

Nursery and Lower Kindergarten

Play forms the key note for kindergarten while aiming at optimal development of children. Interesting teacher guided activities like singing, dancing, dramatic play, oral expression, story telling, informal physical education, the morning assembly and the creative sessions expose the child to an entire new world where learning is fun, exciting and something to look forward to.

As the child approaches the kindergarten age, formal preschool education is tackled and a readiness for writing, number work and general awareness is gradually cultivated.

Strawberry Fields is equipped with a variety of materials and tools for experimenting and learning. It lays strong learning foundations, enriching the child's life, as he grows familiar with the world around him.

Phonetic system for the letters of the alphabet are followed, which helps the child to read on his own by the time he completes kindergarten. Work sheets are so designed as to make the learning process exciting, informative and participatory. Teacher's involvement is total in each of our classes.

Timings   9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
