Most teaching methods that take place in classrooms are text based and so are taught through media which is primarily symbolic rather than practical. The KANGAROO KIDS’s program understands that most children are not ready to handle pure abstract information until around 9 years of age, when presented with such abstract information these children may be able to regurgitate [digest] the information they have role-learnt, but they will not be able to process it internally.
The KANGAROO KIDS’s program is based on the premise that, there are different sensory modalities through which a child learns. A child may be a strong visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learner. Our program operates in all three modalities allowing each child to achieve his/her maximum potential.
At KANGAROO KIDS, our programs involve all the three forms of instructions: experience, observation and symbolism. Our emphasis is on active learning and on providing a system that leads to the acquisition of both knowledge and skills. KANGAROO KIDS puts an emphasis on the role of process in learning, this result in a natural & integrated development of knowledge, skills and thinking.
The main aim of KANGAROO KIDS’s pre-school is to cater to each child’s social, emotional, and development needs and to provide an environment which allows each child grow and develop with self confidence. Kangaroo Kids believes in an open viewing system. This means that any parent is welcome to view a session in progress through our specially designed interiors.
Interactive Learning
Since children learn best through direct experiences, Kangaroo Kids organizes opportunities for children to learn by seeing, feeling and doing. Through these experiences, children establish their understanding as well as acquire the social, intellectual and physical skills necessary for the development of meaningful concepts.
Children of Kangaroo Kids as well as neighbouring mainstream schools benefit from our “in-house” programs such as Marine day, Farm day, Insect and Reptile Day to name a few.
A Farm day, for example, gives the child an opportunity to see locally sourced farm and pet animals. They get to feed the goat, take a bullock cart ride and watch a pot shaping up on a potter's wheel. The entire school is done up to create an authentic ‘farm – like ambience’ with lots of hay and a scare crow to complete the picture.
All branches offer a variety of activities for children between 2 - 8 years of age. The school offers Yoga, dance, Joy of reading classes and foreign languages for children which are held during the "after school hours" and as summer camps.
Our Faculty
The kangaroo kid’s faculty consists of well-educated and experienced teachers who undergo constant training and refresher workshops in all skill areas which are conducted by professionals in the field of early childhood care and learning. All kangaroo kids’ centres have a very low teacher child ratio restricted to 1:6.
