Outdoor & Indoor Games |
Playing is a child's natural way of learning. A game has its own rules and interactions. This in itself is a mini social world in which children prepare themselves little by little to enter a society. Training involves the conceptualization of games both outdoor and indoor in order to improve the sensorial, language, attention span and physical health of the child. |

Pre-Mathematical Skills |
We use maths through out the day. Maths is all about how numbers work. Children are born learners. They explore, handle objects, notice the size and shape of their toys and start forming ideas for the basics of maths. These Mathematical skills need to be honed since , maths is part of everyday life. It helps in problem solving and critical thinking. The pre-mathematical skills include group and sort, recognize and count numbers, recognize shapes and patterns, estimate and predict, measure and tell time. A training is given to teachers where these concepts are taught through methods using things in and around our environment and through games. |

Alternate Teaching Methods |
| Glenn Domann method for fast reading. This method was conceptualized by an American Mr.Glenn Domann. It involves a systematic use of flash cards and facilitates early reading. It has been extensively used in India and finds great acceptance as an alternate method for easy reading due to its simplicity and time consumption. |

Phonics |
 |
In this method children are taught to learn to read by using the phonic sounds and their corresponding letters. The 44 basic phonic sounds are taught with the letters used to represent those sounds. Training is given to teach the children through auditory and visual methods through which they learn to blend the sounds and their letters to form words. This enables the children to learn any English text by themselves. |
