Pre-Primary

Research shows that high quality experiences in the early years are linked to positive outcomes associated with health, social and economic wellbeing as adults and that 90% of brain development occurs during the first five years of a child's life. PJHSW's pre-primary programme provides ongoing training and support for teachers to facilitate the provision of safe, stimulating and nurturing early learning environments for young children.PJHSWs pre-primary curriculum promotes holistic learning through a progressive, well-researched methodology of Shishu Pahel Padhati (SPP). SPP is a child-centred pedagogy and means ‘child first'. It encourages children to plan and construct their own learning, thus retaining their natural self-confidence and developing knowledge, skills, values and attitudes for their current and future needs. SPP focuses on experiential learning through hands-on activities that include opportunities to explore, experience, practice, reflect and share learnings. Our teachers plan and implement an engaging curriculum based on this theory to meet meaningful goals, while also being mindful of differentiation and diversity. The Pre-Primary Section follows a teacher-student ratio of 1:15.
