Pre Primary Newsletter (April, May 2022)

We are so delighted to see our Kindergartners after a long passage of time. Laughter and giggles are what we have been waiting for to hear in our classrooms and courtyards. Our early years programme at MVN is designed to provide the foundation for future academic, social and emotional well-being of every child. The curriculum features the activities designed for the development of both gross and fine motor skills. We celebrate individual uniqueness and encourage self-expression and exploration through a plethora of class room sessions and activities. We believe in embracing our Kindergartners through learning and play.



FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS

We believe in learning, encouraging responsibility and celebrating diversity. Celebrating festivals is an integral part of our curriculum. It is great way to understand the rich heritage of India and learn the importance of various festivals ,further inculcating sensitivity and togetherness amongst the little hearts. Such beliefs and values allow the child to bloom, blossom and thrive, giving the right platform where they will work to become a responsible citizen.

We aim to inculcate the values and ethos of every culture & tradition. To make our tiny tots aware of the spring harvest festival, theme based activity was planned where kindergarteners enjoyed colouring the DHOL and decorated the sheet in their own creative way with studs and stickers.



We strive to imbibe the spirit of secularism in our little hearts by celebrating all the festivals and celebrating the joy of diverse India. EID was also celebrated with same fervour, gusto and love in MVN Kindergarten. Our little kindergarteners made EID Cards for their friends and families by highlighting the night sky further spreading the message of sacrifice, peace, charity and benevolence. Children were told about the significance of fasting during the month of Ramadan.

Children are naturally creative. It is our job to give them the freedom, the materials and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential. Arts and craft activities helps instill a sense of achievement and pride in children, boosting their self-confidence. Craft activities foster communication, listening, attention, and imagination. These activities help to enhance kids hand eye co-ordination and improve manual dexterity. Working with varied material teaches them about colours, shapes and textures.



Physical education teaches how to acquire ability to develop strength, speed, endurance and coordination abilities. It also emphasizes on achieving social qualities, such as empathy, cooperation, friendliness, team spirit, and respect for rules, which are essential for healthy social relations with others. Sports are the integral part of Curriculum at MVN Kindergarten, Aravali Hills ⚽ ⚽⚽ ⚽⚽ ⚽ We have array of activities from Dodgeball to Fire on the Mountain and many more, that helps in the development of motor skills and instills a healthy team spirit in our tiny tots.





Music and Dance helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.
