Life as a pre-primary student

Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School follows a structured and elaborate thematic approach to enrich the learning experience of toddlers. Our unique Seven-Petal Approach ensures the holistic development of every child. Infants experience, express, and perceive emotions before they fully understand them.
By learning to recognize, label, manage, and communicate their emotions, and to perceive and attempt to understand the emotions of others, children build skills that connect them with family, peers, teachers, and the community.

These growing capacities help young children become competent in negotiating increasingly complex social interactions, participating effectively in relationships and group activities, and reaping the benefits of social support, which are crucial to healthy human development and functioning.

The core features of 7 PETAL LEARNING METHODOLOGY include the ability to identify and understand one’s own feelings, to accurately read and comprehend emotional states in others, to manage strong emotions and their expression in a constructive manner, to regulate one’s own behavior, to develop empathy for others, and to establish and maintain relationships.

Personal Awareness

Developing personal awareness helps kids understand their own needs, identify the skills they need to be successful in life, manage emotions responsibly in activities both inside and outside school, and develop empathy towards others—especially peers who may have different abilities or backgrounds than theirs. A self-aware person understands their own identity and values, and how they are different from others around them. They understand themselves on a personal level as well as an interpersonal one.

Language Development

Children have a thirst for language and communication. Communication allows children to express their needs and ideas to others. Through language, we are able to cooperate, collaborate, receive knowledge, and pass knowledge to others. Children go through a series of stages to acquire language. A firm grasp of writing and speaking allows students to progress in their learning. Students use language materials to explore letters, sounds, handwriting, and eventually, spelling and writing.

Cognitive Development

Cognitive development refers to the growth of a child’s ability to think and reason. The sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) and preoperational stage (2–7 years old) are very sensitive periods. During these stages, children develop the ability to think in concrete ways. The school pays utmost attention and provides the necessary facilities and provisions to support cognitive development in the right aspects.

Socio-Emotional Development

A tremendous amount of social and emotional development takes place during early childhood. Children start to understand who they are, what they are feeling, and what to expect when interacting with others. Socio-emotional development includes the ability to form and sustain positive relationships and to experience, manage, and express emotions. Our curriculum activities provide a platform where children can interact with others, mingle, play, sing, and fine-tune their foundational behaviour principles in school.

Nurturing Individual Potential

Nurturing individuals focuses on encouraging creativity and developing latent talent in every child. Our curriculum encourages children to express their creative ideas by providing opportunities to dance, sing, draw, paint, create, tell stories, act, and play sports and games. A key aspect of nurturing individual potential is understanding attachment theory and how a child’s early experiences can significantly impact their goals for the future.

Fine Motor Development

Fine motor skills involve finger and hand movements such as writing, cutting, opening lunch boxes, and dressing oneself. The development of these skills relies on the age-appropriate development of physical abilities, providing a stable base from which the arm and hand can move with control. Our curriculum, with its fun activities, games, yoga, and play-based learning methods, aims to fine-tune children’s fine motor development to perfection.

Gross Motor Development

Gross motor development involves the larger, stronger muscle groups of the body. In early childhood, it is the development of these muscles that enables a baby to hold their head up, sit, crawl, and eventually walk and run. Some examples of gross motor skills in the locomotion category include rolling, crawling on hands and knees, scooting, walking, running, climbing, leaping, jumping, and hopping. Our systematically focused Kindergarten curriculum, filled with fun activities and games, includes even higher-level skills such as climbing, skipping, and throwing and catching a ball.
