Today’s kids are tomorrow’s
future. If these kids have to lead an active and vibrant life later,
they have to be independent, thoughtful, conscious and confident. But
for this to happen, they need to be nurtured in a proper way right
from a very small age.
Traditional schooling methods do
not put much emphasis on the personality, skill and creativity
development. That is why individuals passing out of schools and
colleges are devoid of any passion, interests, skills or creativity.
They lack the direction and fortitude to deal with the rigours of
life. They are unable to cultivate a positive outlook. Such a state
of affairs is something to feel alarmed about for the social experts,
educators and other people concerned about proper human development.
For shaping life of individuals in a better way, nurturing should
start at a pretty early age.
KLA Schools have genuinely felt
this need of individuals and have already started work in this
direction. They have taken an innovative approach to promote learning
in children in their preschool years. They undertake artworkshops for kids where
these small children get an opportunity to express their creativity.
Here they explore and experience various things in a playful and
interactive manner. The classrooms where children learn are designed
with a conducive look and feel, so that they are able to express
their creativity in a spontaneous manner. With a variety of tools and
materials available in these classrooms, they become eager to
experience and explore which boosts their understanding and
knowledge. The environment provided in these classrooms is
comfortable, safe and nurturing which helps to bring the best out of
the children.
Whatever activities these small
children indulge in are carefully documented for the sake of
information. This allows them to revisit their project work and
re-experience their ideas and understanding at a later stage.
Teachers acquire multiple roles as co-learners, observers, facilitators and researchers while nurturing children in KLA Schools. This is a sharp contrast to the teachers in a traditional school who force students to learn something stifling their creativity and individuality. But in KLA Schools, teachers promote creativity and understanding among the children by allowing them to respond naturally to situations and settings. They observe and guide children rather than providing them with instructions or answering questions they could answer themselves. This provides children the opportunity to open up and express their ideas freely. Due to this their cognition and understanding improves.
Parents also become actively
involved in the learning and development of their child. They
contribute to their learning by acting as collaborators, partners and
supporters. By involving the community, teachers and parents in the
learning of small children and providing them a conducive environment
for the same, KLA Schools have revolutionized learning. This will
have a positive bearing on the life of kids as they grow up and will
enable them to become conscious, thoughtful and respectable citizens
of tomorrow.
