THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-217 THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-217

Welcome to KinderlandWe are extremely happy that you are a part of our school community.

This handbook is designed to acquaint you with our Kindergarten program and school procedures. Please take some time to read through the content in this handbook. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a connection that supports the school to home partnership, and to share important information about our school activities.

You and your child are about to begin a wonderful journey with The Choice family. Accomplishing the Choice school mission – “KCH”-Knowledge, Character, health begins here in Kinderland. Our early childhood learning programme is designed for four diff erent age groups:

Kinder Tot: Toddlers (1 ½ years to 2 ½ years)

Kinderark: Preschoolers (2 ½ years to 3½ years)

Kindergarten: KG (3 ½ years to 4 ½ years)

KinderPrep: (4 ½ years to 5 ½ years)

In both philosophy and practice, we focus on moulding the character and developing the total personality of the child. We believe all children can learn and will learn in their own way at their own pace. Let us together make their learning a happy, meaningful and joyful experience. Welcome to the start of your child’s educational journey with The Choice Kinderland. Looking forward to partnering with you in this exciting journey.


Dear Parents,

We are in the “new normal” of living owing to unforeseen world situations of a pandemic that made its epidemic appearance in December 2019 from a localized impact in China to an international level across Europe, Asia, America, Africa and soon the whole world by March 2020. We are in the responsive mode of concocting measures and solutions to fi ght this COVID-19 on diff erent fronts, dimensions which have not only brought relief but also unanticipated side- eff ects. In the midst of these, there are births of many new opportunities, perspectives and a whole new adaptation to the restrictive norms of living. The economic impact of the COVID-19 is worldwide and we are all striving to create the normalcy we enjoyed and perhaps tolerated during the pre-COVID-19 times. What are the ways forward? What are the sorts of engagments that need to be restored? We have faced lockdowns, containments, quarantines, speedy manufacturing of life-saving equipment, the rush to fi nd medical cure for the pandemic and still we are in the constant fear of the impact of the pandemic. Our education sector has transitioned into the digital learning dimension all of a sudden. What an opportunity if we deem it to be so! We realize that we could do many things diff erently and still be accepted and appreciated. We oft use the phrase “blessing in disguise” and this is certainly true of the pandemic. In all situations in life, there is the birth of new solutions that are going to be exciting. We are in planes of living that mankind has never seen before owing to the advancements in science and technology. We are constantly evolving. There is no progress without the concept of change and evolution beating the odds and setbacks be it war, disease, disasters, accidents etc. The digital form of learning is here to stay to aid the physical reality, to preserve Nature in ways we have never explored before. The large-scale worldwide adoption of online lessons and tools proves that technology is crucial in transforming the impact of digital life of world citizens. Where we have been reluctant to go digital, we encountered situations impeding progress. It is clear now that it is a necessary form of survival but not evil although we continue to debate on banes and boons of digital infl uence on lives and specially children.


Greater dimensions of learning are to be explored with speed. Work from home, lessons delivered at homes, schools being experienced from the comforts of our personal rooms are a reality now and an acceptable way of living because we are in survival mode. The change of mindset, the paradigm shift of possibilities and methods to live and learn are tremendous. Does it take a pandemic to make us realize these? Do threats to our lives have to be there to adopt positive changes? It all amounts to the practice of open-mindedness, acceptance of diff erent ways of thinking, exploration of ideas and thus preparedness that will save us. Sharing of expertise across the world is our key to survival. Collaborative teaching and learning is an essential ingredient in our educational system. We need each other ever stronger to counter the pandemic and the eff ects on our morale and well-being. Yes, let us welcome 2020-21 academic year with a whole range of new possibilities despite the looming threats which shall be cleared and soon pass. Let us enjoy and grow together staying connected with the knowledge we can gain, the character and the personality that we can nurture, the health that we can build through wise decisions and good habits for us to be true responsible citizens of the world. Welcome 2020-21 with a brave heart! Thank you. Ajith P. Jacob Principal


Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,

Namaskar! I would like to welcome all of you back to this great institution “The Choice School” and hope you stay safe, healthy and wise.

I am aware of the diffi cult situation we are all in now with regard to the unexpected ‘enemy’ that attacked the whole world, including our country. We all know that this virus has caused immense human suff ering and losses. As I write this, we are still unclear as to what the future really has in store for us. Life style has changed, the fabric of relationships has changed, children and families are staying at home, and it is completely a new experience. We were not ready for this unexpected change but I am happy that we could very quickly adapt and face this challenge that continues to confront us.

Besides the many lives lost in this world, there is also a major impact on the world economy and in particular, for India. I hope very soon the medical experts will fi nd a solution to the pandemic Covid-19 and put the world back on track and allow our children to get back to school and also for our businesses and enterprises to resume full operations, because I strongly believe a country like India needs a strong economy to back the future generations. It is imperative to value time and wisdom, to work hard and smart, to protect our future.

We, at the school, are taking various actions to mitigate any consequences that may impact our school due to this pandemic. Let’s stay positive and united in every way we can, during these diffi cult times. I am sure this too will soon pass!! Once again, we will do everything we can to keep our entire school community - comprising all our students, staff , parents and educational partners - safe, by nurturing knowledge and bringing in new practices which will include self-distancing and personal hygiene. I am very confi dent that within a short period of time, we will defeat this virus and get back on our feet.

God bless Choice School, our nation and the entire world!

GET MUSICAL • Surround your child with a musical environment!

• Getting musical with your child will help develop vocabulary, foster better attention span, inculcate rhythm and strengthen social skills.

ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBILITY• There are so many ways the Kindergarteners can take

responsibility for themselves and their actions like cleaning up after a snack or a meal, putting away their toys / books etc.

CELEBRATE CHILDHOOD

• Let your kindergartner laugh, play and even make a

mess.

• Bake, make homemade Play-Dough, plant a garden,

blow bubbles and make forts with blankets or boxes.

• Listen closely when they share the most amazing

thing they learn at school each day.

• Do not lose sight of what kindergarten is meant to

be: a time when children can be children and a place

where their hearts can be nurtured, friendships


formed, social skills strengthened and laughter is

encouraged.

PRACTICE ZIPPING, TYING AND BUTTONING

• Work on these skills at home. Teach them self-help

skills and make them independent. Allow them to

manipulate and work on shoelaces, zippers and

buttons. Make kindergarten a much more rewarding

place.

START CONVERSATIONS

• Build oral language by having real conversations Ask

your child questions and help them to respond in

complete sentences.

• Play games such as ‘I Spy’ while on the go or

preparing dinner: ‘I spy something that starts with B’

or ‘I spy something that rhymes with star.”

• These early literacy skill builders can be slipped into

even the busiest of schedules.

SPEND TIME TOGETHER

• Take time and listen to your kindergartener. You can

gain so much knowledge!

• Talk to them and share your small learnings with them

,this will make them feel important ,loved and helps

develop confi dence

• .Turn off the TV and move to the fl oor to play with

them, to discover and learn from them

• Give them the ‘us time’ every day. Make them feel like

they are the most important thing in your life.

TRANSPORT

• Children should be escorted to and from the school

by authorised persons only.

• Parents of students using private vans, autos etc. as

their mode of transport should ensure that there is a

helper, preferably a lady in the vehicle. Please verify

the antecedents and reliability of the driver before

you entrust your child to him.


• Parents or authorised persons escorting the child or

visiting the school for any other purpose must show

the ID card issued by school, on demand. This is in the

interest and safety of your child.

Learn

&Play

Children learn and

develop cognitive

skills, physical abili-

ties, new vocabulary,

social skillls and

literacy skills.

Play helps children grow and conteracts obesity issues

facing many children today

Play is joyful and provides an outlet for

anxiety and stress

Play is simple and complex. There are many types of play,

symbolic, sociodramat-ic, functional and games

with rules -- to name just a few

They are not separate activities.

They are intertwined. Think about them as

a science lecture with a lab. Play is the

child’s lab.

Play is an active
