Awards & Accolades:
Our Happy Learning Pedagogy aims to derive pleasure from learning. Our children happily imbibe skills for reading, writing, mathematics, scientific thinking, environmental awareness, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, technology literacy, and social-emotional development in a fun-filled and enriching environment.
Our strict staff selection policy allows only teachers with advanced degrees who fully understand child psychology and preschool educational methods. Our teachers are sensitised towards safety and sanitation guidelines. They possess warmth, friendliness, patience, and excellent instructional skills. They assist children in developing their physical, artistic, social, and mental competencies through our scientifically researched curriculum. They engage with children and build their trust and attention through creative programmes like educational games, storytelling, interactive toys, exercises, outdoor and indoor games, field trips, and experiential learning. They organize snack hours and inculcate healthy eating habits while supervising and ensuring that children are safe at all times. Our teachers acknowledge a child’s cultural background, home environment, and family dynamics as these factors play a vital role in their learning and development.
We are committed to upgrading our teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and experience by providing regular training opportunities hosted by international education organisations and encouraging their participation in workshops and conferences.
We create a safe, sterile, open, and homely environment for children. With safety as a priority, we ensure there is a daily safety check of toys and materials and an inspection of indoor and outdoor areas. We encourage children to clean up before moving onto a new area. This inculcates a sense of responsibility as well as prevents falls and tripping hazards. Our classrooms and the corridors are well-lit, there are anti-slippery floors, neat and clean washrooms, and dedicated attendants at all times.
We involve families to participate in the child’s development process by maintaining a continuous and transparent channel of communication regarding the child’s performance, responsiveness, behaviour, and progress. We have a dedicated parents’ portal where parents can keep track of their child’s progress. We are easy to approach if parents want to address their doubts, difficulties and concerns.
We believe eating together boosts social and emotional bonding. We teach children healthy eating habits from washing hands, expressing gratitude for food, eating with discipline, sharing food, and avoiding food wastage. We teach children the importance of a balanced and nutritious diet.
At Bright Start, admissions are open for all students irrespective of their social, cultural or religious backgrounds. We follow an all-inclusive policy that doesn’t discriminate and accepts everyone with love and warmth.
