Message from Principal
The early years are precious. A child is achieving one growth milestone after another and growing by leaps and bounds. The brain of a child is also growing at a very fast pace which is why it becomes essential to lay a strong foundation in the formative years. The groundwork for good school performance begins early in life, long before children enter formal school. Having said that the early years are for exploring creativity. Children in their early years need time to play and be physically active. They need to be provided with a constructive and holistic learning environment where their curiosity is fed not just by way of knowledge but positive experiences.
At the Orchid Prep School we strive to provide an early learner with a multi-disciplinary environment making learning an exciting part of growing up years. This environment ensures that studies, school, and learning are embraced by children early on in life and not feared. The first five years of a child’s life are fundamentally important. Early experiences in a child’s life play an important role in shaping the brain’s architecture and provide a base for brain’s functioning throughout life.
Apart from the pedagogic deliverables, we are focused on promoting health and wellbeing of every child. We help them develop good social habits: to learn how to make friends and respect others. Our main emphasis is on fostering the ‘joy of learning’, language enrichment and early communication. Our curriculum is carefully designed by Early Years Education experts and co-curricular exposure is a major area we like to focus on.
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Education plays an important role in shaping an individual’s life. If an early learner is subjected to duress in order to get educated the process will lose its essence. Never forget that education is meant to elevate the mind not burden it.
The positive environment at The Orchid Prep School ensures that studies, school, and learning are embraced by children early on in life and not feared.
In this journey we seek the support of all stakeholders – especially parents. Parents, being the first teachers, have the potential to play immensely proactive roles. Parents must become role models for their children, as children emulate them. We guide our parents by way of regular interactions, one-on-one and otherwise, and encourage them to stop and listen to their children.
Thank you for embarking on this beautiful journey with us.
