What kind of activities?
We can give you an example - though do not tell the actual activities
we will be doing on each day.
The reason for not telling you the activities in advance is often we come into the session with a "set" of activities and the actual activity or the way an activity will be done will depend on the group.
The idea is to appeal to the group's interest - rather than coming from a pre-fixed menu. Hence it makes sense that we tell you after the session, which activities were done and how were they done.
Hence what we do is after the session we post a session write up - on a daily basis - so that you come to know exactly the activities that was finally done.
The holiday program is to give a set of exciting and interesting exposures to children. There is no teaching - we use different kinds of mediums to appeal to different interests.
The holiday programs are primarily based on Theory of Multiple Intelligence and will expose the child's to all the eight intelligences. All activities are loaded with FUN and enjoyment. They will be based on music, language, books science, art, craft, numerical activities, kinesthetic and movement activities, clay, theater & drama, social activities etc.
Here is an example activity:
Suppose we start a telling a story and stop in between. Now we ask children to
finish the story as per their wish. Once they finish their story, we
ask them to put up a small puppet show of "their" version of the story
- they can make puppets, make a set, add music, add themselves into the
show, and so on....
What will the child learn / benefit?
Holiday programs are all about exposure. What your child will gain will
be exposure of all the eight intelligence in a enjoyable environment.
What feedback will parents get?
Holiday programs are short duration. Since any feedback can only be based on sufficient observation - It is not fair for us to give any feedback about the child in such a short duration. We give feedback in our long term programs like Success Saturday or Khoj (preschool).
Program Notes:
The program is every morning 10 to 1pm - five days a week - Monday to Friday; Fees Rs1000 per week; Minimum three weeks.
* Flexibility: Since each program* is designed on weekly basis - your child can start on any* monday between the program's start date and end date and take any number of weeks (three being minimum and 10 being maximum. You can also take a break in between. (* not applicable for theatre program)
