Early Childhood Education

 

The pre-school age, is the most impressionable age, in ones life. At no other stage, is the child able to benefit as much, from a stimulating environment. Children are the future of our nation. It is an urgent need, to provide education as an enriching experience and a solid foundation, for them.      Keeping this in mind, the Early Childhood Education course, trains the students to become teachers of children, in the age group of 3 to 8 years. Our modules are child-centred and transacted through ‘play way’ method.        The Students learn to plan activities, where children's interaction and experiences with the environment, are emphasised. Students learn exciting Art and Craft skills. They are taught to make age-specific teaching aids. Their skills in Story Telling, Songs and Puppetry are developed. They also get well-versed with Child Psychology and Health Issues. Practical exposure is given, by organizing Internship in the best and most reputed schools of Delhi. We are proud to find that many students get Placements, during their Internship Tenure. Whilst others, have successfully opened their own schools.
