PROGRAMS
The Village caters to the children between the age group of 10 months to 6 years through different developmentally appropriate approaches. Through our programs we try to spark curiosity for learning and sow the seeds for lifelong learning.
PHILOSOPHY
Besides adopting practices from IB we are also inspired by renowned early childhood educationists like Friedrich Froebel, Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner. The early childhood curriculum centers on experiential education, allowing children to learn by example and through opportunities for imaginative play. The central belief of the approach is that children construct their own learning by doing
