Academic Initiatives

The ages of 18 years to 4 years are a phase where children pick up most of their basic knowledge, which is why it needs to be done in a safe yet productive environment. The nursery ensures just this by nurturing the children towards a more confident future. It also encourages the building up of craftsmanship skills and bring in their decision making ability. Giving them ample playtime and getting them involved in various activities helps in their overall development and their psychology. Mosaic Nursery has for this very reason created a curriculum that ensures all these boxes are ticked off and the students find themselves flourishing. This is why it follows a Creative Curriculum – in line with the British Curriculum which creates a balance between every aspect of learning. The various areas of development such as language and social-emotional behavior aren’t sufficient enough to complete the child’s learning journey. In order to complete the mosaic picture,  the child’s growth has to be combined with other ares of growth as well. The curriculum hence works on building up to 10 areas of learning and development.

• Social-Emotional Development – This involves teaching the students to identify and build on their own feelings while also learning how to express them efficiently. It also makes them aware of how to build close, supportive and trusting relationships with adults as well as peers. When children see the adults being responsive and participating actively, children start believing the importance of being expressive.
• Physical Development – This includes the children’s gross motor and fine motor skills which requires immense practice in the initial days. The activities involve running, kicking, throwing, climbing and jumping. They also need to tune their fine motor skills such as manipulating, cutting threading and mark making.
• Cognitive Development – A child’s ability to think and process these thoughts makes up their cognitive abilities. Every child’s mind functions in different ways and this aspect works on the way a child processes information, memorizes, classifies, solves problems and acquires language, literacy and mathematical concepts.

The curriculum also focuses on the various basic subjects required to continue their path of education such as:

• Mathematics: This school believes that is important that that children gain first-hand exploration in mathematics. Hence, the curriculum designed by the school caters to this need and lays a foundation of mathematical concepts. Blending play with all its learning materials, through math, children learn essential life skills like problem solving, numeracy, and reasoning.
• Science and Technology: Young children are always curious and born investigators, and Mosaic Nursery allows its students to wander their curiosity unleashed. As a result, the students learn to engage in the process of scientific thinking. They explore and experiment and gain deeper understanding about things around them, which further ignites them.
• Social Studies:  The learning material of this subject helps students to be researchers, critical thinkers and even be an active member of the classroom community. Children are introduced about the society, and the world around. It is Mosaic Nursery’s mandate to make sure that their students are aware of the increasingly globalized world, traditions and cultures.
• The Arts: At Mosaic Nursery, young children are encouraged to express their thoughts through visual arts such as music, dance and drama. This helps students in expressing verbally difficult emotions or thoughts. Also, through singing, dancing, drawing, moving, dramatizing, students make new discoveries and integrate what they have been learning.

English Language Acquisition: Children who are second language learners often face many challenging cognitive tasks, hence to help students learn two languages, in line with that the school has designed a creative curriculum. It helps students to fluently speak and understand the global language.
