Aims And Objectives
The curriculum developed for class Nursery aims at helping
the child unfold his/her talents, to facilitate and guide the
child to sharpen his mental and physical abilities. It helps to
enhance the learning, speaking, writing and listening skills of
the child.
The programme is based on a child – centred approach
wherein through play-way the basic concepts are taught. The
main emphasis is placed on the child’s experiences and
interaction.
A typical day in class Nursery starts with the morning prayer
followed by a 15 minute free / general conversation session
during which the children will get an opportunity to share
their experiences at home and outside the school. During this
time, major news items at national level as well as the school
and family related issues will be discussed.
At the end of each day, 15 minutes will be devoted to rhyme
and story telling sessions. A general conversation based on
the topic of the month is also done. The general conversation
also includes moral education, vocabulary building and other
relevant topics.
All the festivals will be discussed with the children as and
when they occur. How and why they are celebrated will be
discussed along with their significance.
The nursery syllabus thus aims at an all round personality
development to guide the child to develop himself as a better
human being.
