Playgroup is the most exciting yet important phase of your child. The children for the first time come out of the comfort of their parents and start to interact with the environment. During the Playgroup we ensure that a child develops affection towards the school, make new friends, understand student- teacher relationship and most importantly know that their is a world outside their home. During Playgroup no formal learning process starts in while the learning happens through themes and play activities. We focus a lot on improving the gross muscle development during this age through Montessori mode.
The Playgroup program at Kids Castle focuses on the following aspects of a child:
Motor Skills: The Playgroup children are exposed to an atmosphere where they spend maximum time in exploration and minimum time in the classroom. The focus is more on developing their fine and gross motor skills through circle time activities, stage activities, walk on the sand pit and soft gym activities.
Social Skills: Children are taught social skills through engaging in conversations in group, stage activities and rhyme fun time.
Emotional Skills: At Kids Castle we help a child to express their emotions right from joy to frustration and happy to sad. Also the young one's know about life's critical learning's like sharing, co-operations, helping, respecting elders etc.

At this age the children are much more receptive and are eager to learn new concepts. During this age there is a lot of focus on improving the fine muscle development through Montessori mode. Throughout the day children make self-directed actions (but carefully guided choices), participate in small groups activities, take part in circle time and build the confidence needed to try new things. Children enjoy free play to allow creativity and imagination to flourish. Teachers facilitate opportunities for children to engage in reading, writing, listening and speaking using poems, finger plays, puppets, singing and rhyming.
Our Kids Castle Nursery children explore surroundings and people around them. They acquaint themselves with teaching aids with different grips, learn about shapes and colours as well as letters and numbers, they learn about patterns and other creative designs. At this age, children are driven to learn and actively come to terms with the way the world operates. Kids Castle opens their eyes to a world of learning, sharing and exploring. Our teaching approach engages young minds with a blend of music, art, storytelling and movement. This approach uses an explosion of language that allows them to interact more verbally, giving us a clearer insight into their perceptions.

Keeping in mind the need of working parents, Kids Castle has developed unique day care facilities for children. The after school hours are full of constructive activities to keep the young one’s engaged all the time. Unlike most of the day care where meals and sleep are the only facilities provided to day care children, Kids Castle offers a number of activities to the children.
We follow the highest standards of hygiene and ensure that the day care coordinators are working in shifts in order to remain fresh and attentive for the complete day. Usual schools employ day care teachers working straight from morning 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM which are very difficult for a day care coordinator to follow. At Kids Castle the day care staff is separate from the school teaching staff and they come in shifts to attend to day care needs.
