KINDERGARTEN
Bhavan's Bala Mandirs, the kindergarten section of Bhavans Trivandrum Kendra, believes in the holistic development of children. Through hard work and utmost devotion, the teaching and non-teaching staff of the kindergarten section ensure that each child learns through active participation and develops all the motor skills. The school primarily aims at building social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills of a child.
School begins with an assembly in which the prayer, pledge, exercise and meditation form the integral part. Children are encouraged to speak on a topic of their choice. This not only enriches their vocabulary but also builds their confidence. Rhymes, stories and topics that enhance general knowledge are introduced regularly. Puppet shows and dramatization enlivens the learning process. The teachers introduce new ideas everyday so that the children love their kindergarten days.
