Role of a pre-school in early childhood development - Education for Life

Maria Montessori says,It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfil his potential possibilities.” 

For the tiny tots, care and education cannot be separated. Children learn through play and learn best when receiving quality care. If you are the parent of a preschooler or planning to admit your angel to the preschool you need to ask yourself why you should care about preschool learning. So many of the factors affecting the success of a child’s formal education start well before formal schooling. Children's early learning influences their entire life.

This is how we think a pre-school can contribute to a child’s overall development:
  • The skills and knowledge that a child develops in the preschool years will have a remarkable impact on the child’s success in the later stages.
  • Pre-school education enables:
    • children to to think, explore, question, wonder and learn how to learn; supports children’s intellectual and language development and communication skills;
    • develops social and emotional maturity and the ability to relate well to peers and adults,
    • solve conflicts, and be assertive; enables children and families the opportunity to belong, to be part of a community, and connect with others.
    • a gradual transition from home to more formal educational environments; at the centre of the community; responsiveness  to cultural diversity; and an atmosphere that fosters social, emotional and regulatory skills.
  • Preschool like SAMBHRAMA, believes in integrating the aspect of freedom into its methodology which helps the child grow into an eager lifelong learner.
  • It is important that a child learns early that the world does not revolve around him alone, and it helps the child learn that we live in a world full of many different kinds of people.
SAMBHRAMA believes the child to possess the main positive qualities like being confident, independent, and the quality of empathy. It’s a place of warmth welcoming  where connections are made and relationships are built. The place where the families, children and visitors feel welcome and valued. 

What are the other factor you would like to add to the list? Do comment below.

Sambhrama - The Vision behind this dream


"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul", says Addison.Education is the face of the society which reflects the impact on every segment in the society.Education,in actual terms is not restricted to just teaching a person basic academics but it is a symbol of freedom wherein the person is allowed and encouraged to express,explore,apply and realize his/her standpoint and dreams. There is a strong link between a healthier society and the right system of education. The knowledge adapted and the way it was grasped were the features of education we received in early days.Though the basic foundation of education is one’s own home, yet the schooling system, the methodology used there adds an extra value in building one’s own personality.

Rat-race in the field of education has deep rooted to such an extent wherein the child who is suppose to play in the evenings is enrolled in various subject classes and asked to by-heart rather than emphasising for the understanding of the concept. Every parent wants to meet their unfulfilled dreams through their kids and Competition is the most commonly word used as an excuse to keep the kids engaged wherein neither the childhood is cherished nor the right stimuli given for their overall development.The children should be made to enjoy learning and not view learning as a burden or unavoidable chore. Diverting a blossoming kid’s route from its real interest may be a heavy tax.

When we started observing these scenarios day by day, we thought and believed that there is a need to have value integration where child is encouraged to ask questions, explore its own creativity and excel to such an extent where he/she could represent as a role model to the society and see how best the education that they have received can be put in life.Preschool education transmits more abstract qualities such as critical thinking skills,healthy living,resilience and self-confidence. With this strong purpose,Sambhrama is been conceived to integrate key elements; parent - faculty -methodology to bestow children with life skills that will enable them to prosper later in life. It equips children with the skills to maintain a healthy and productive existence, to grow into resourceful and socially active adults, and build the future generation which is individualistic,creative and strong and directing them towards their eventual role in the society.
