Kangaroo Kids Thane
At Kangaroo Kids International Preschool we provide quality education in a safe, stress-free and supportive environment. We facilitate experiential active learning, rather than rote memorization. This is achieved by designing an integrated, interdisciplinary and theme-based curriculum which is sequentially developed to increase in complexity.
Our Vision
To spark human greatness in every single child by discovering and then nurturing
each child’s unique gift.
Our Mission
To create learning environments that accommodates all individual learners providing them with opportunities to maximise their inherent potential.
Our policies and belief systems
We maintain an open door policy for parents, i.e. there is an atmosphere of open communication. Parents can come and discuss any issue they are concerned about.
With the firm belief that each child is unique, possessing certain abilities and having particular needs, it is our goal to encourage the growth of the ‘whole child’ – social, emotional, physical and intellectual.
We respect individual differences in children and believe that each child learns and grows at his/her pace. To cater to the individual needs of children, we have an ideal Teacher: Child ratio. Younger the children more the individual attention they need.
Episodic memory is the one we have for events (or episodes) we experience. Some children have trouble remembering facts, vocabulary, and procedures, like how to do long division. They can remember accurate details about a trip they took a whole year ago! They love field trips, movies, and activities that involve building or doing something. These students have a strong episodic memory. They remember what the class was doing when they were learning something.
Although the pattern of development is similar for all children, all children follow the predictable pattern in their own way and at their own rate. We provide opportunities for such differences to surface in daily activities.
Children are explorers and need to use their five senses to process information and learn about the world. the curriculum provides opportunities to experience concepts to learn and develop. Our Facilitators only create an environment conducive for learning rather than focusing on memorising facts.
The curriculum is implemented as designed by the team using maxims of ‘known and concrete’ concepts to ‘unknown and abstract’ ones.
We have a team of experts who are in touch with the latest developments in the field of education and incorporate them in the curriculum in real time.
Safety is our prime consideration while planning and implementing programs and activities. The school and classrooms, the equipments and materials used for the program are learner friendly. A colourful and bright classroom with lots of pictures and aids may be child-friendly but not necessarily learner friendly, as it may lead to over-stimulation and distraction for the child. Hence our classrooms are learner friendly.
We integrate themes to connect learning across disciplines.
