Message from Section SupervisorLearning is the process of constantly reinventing oneself in an ever-changing world. In the firstfive years the child experiences the most rapid changes in all aspects, physically, intellectually,emotionally and socially. Also, the earliest years of a child’s life are the formative years,predicting ultimate success in their school and personal life. All children should be given theopportunity to experience the very best possible start to their education.Learning at our school is based on the fundamental principles of life; teaching the children tobe courageous, confident, disciplined, responsible and loyal. All of it in the most enjoyable waypossible.Teaching at PIES is a two way process; where the teachers first try and understand each individ-ual child so as to adapt the most amiable techniques in a conducive ambience. We believe inteaching by following the child. We strive to keep our toddlers busy with learning activities.Today the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to empower itsstudents to be lifelong learners. We try to provide the best possible environment for healthydevelopment of young children by providing a carefully planned and structured environmentin which the child grows and learns in a natural way.I also take this opportunity to thank the parents of our students for having bestowed their faithand confidence in us. Your faith in us is our driving force. Priyanka Nair Section Supervisor - KG Page 01

Orientation Programme The School organised an orientation programme for the KG parents on 9th &11th April 2018 . Our Principal, Mrs. Girija Baiju, welcomed the parents on the occasion. She also shared a few guidelines on effective parenting. Ms Arifa Fathima provided an insight into the teaching methodology, pattern of assessments and school rules through a brief presentation. One of the objectives of the orientation programme was to demonstrate how the curriculum involves self-directed, hands-on learning activities which not only give vent to the child’s creative talents and energies but also help in the holistic development of the child. The orientation helped outline and reaffirm the teachers’ and parents’ role as partners in the progress of their child. Parents were invited to play a vital role in the educational system while co-operating with the school, honouring its rules and procedures, working together with the teachers for the optimum development of their wards.Page 02
