JINGLE BELLS – The Play School
Sand Dunes has launched Jinglebells- a play way that has been designed to enrich the child’s development in a holistic manner. The curriculum is focused on a balance between spontaneous and guided learning experiences.
At the age of about 2 years, the child is given the opportunity to explore and experiment. The children develop independence, language skills, sensory awareness, order, and routine through peer group interaction.
The Jinglebells teachers create cognitive stimulation to have the Child engaged in active thinking, discovery learning and environmental interaction. The aim is to help children see themselves as individuals and encourage them to continually express themselves in their own ways and to inculcate proper values and good habits.
Listening to stories makes education come alive. Digital classes include character narration, interesting supplementary facts, sound effects, poems, rhymes and songs.
The magic wand of Jinglebells unravels Colours, Numbers, Alphabets, Music, the Animal Kingdom and adorable puppets to help children increase their attention span
At Jinglebells, we will initiate a child into semi formal schooling. Though, “curriculum” is a very heavy word to use for such little hands and feet, there will be on offer many activities which are designed to introduce the children to the foundation of music, art, math, science and language.
