Montessori System
KG children are extensively taught using the Montessori system. We have integrated the best practices of classroom teaching and the Montessori system to arrive at our own proprietary methodology which is unique to Vidyalaya. An age-appropriate, activity and need-based curriculum, is followed in accordance with the interests and abilities of every child.
The curriculum is also holistic aiding growth and development in all domains of development.
Children are taught alphabets, sounds and phonetics, numbers, grace and courtesy in the Montessori environment. Stories, rhymes, activities and craft work, games and PT associated with the different domains of development are taught in the mainstream environment.
Teachers are trained in LTP (Learning Through Play), a concept developed at Bala Mandir to follow the child’s development continuously and record it every six months.
Every educator/teacher at Bala Mandir absorbs these methodologies and executes them meticulously.
