Our Philosophy and Approach
Preschool education is the cornerstone of a child’s academic journey, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and growth. As parents and educators, it’s imperative to explore various philosophical approaches to preschool education to ensure a holistic and enriching experience for young learners.
Aksharaa Kindergarten Jawalkhel’s philosophy is that learning in children happens by observing and imitating what they see in their surrounding environment. Hence the child must be surrounded by love and warmth at home and at school. At Aksharaa kindergarten, importance is given to the sensory development in children and hence children play with objects that are made from natural materials like hand-made dolls, wooden toys, shells, and cloth that help them develop a sense of touch. The focus is on self-initiated play with simple materials which is an essential activity for young children.
Artistic activities such as story-telling, music, drawing, rhythmic games, and modeling are encouraged as they nurture imagination and creativity. Activities such as cooking, gardening, handwork, and domestic activity also form a part of their day-to-day routine as they highlight the importance of processes in life rather than any learning outcomes.
For this, Aksharaa Kindergarten builds education within the Learning-Reinforcement-Practice-Application (LRPA) module. This module as suggestive of Touch-Explore-Learn-Enjoy process helps students broaden their cognitive horizon with fun, curiosity and excitement. With mindful operation, we anticipate LRPA to instill new literacy skills deemed essential to producing each learner as a global citizen. This framework, holding with a dynamic curriculum, enforces critical thinking, collaboration, cooperation, creativity and problem-solving skills in learner communities. In pursuit of our vision to produce locally and globally valued citizens, an academically enriching environment, and expert teachers also coordinated by an external support system, Aksharaa Kindergarten secures learning ambiances for each child where s/he can practice learning, unlearning, and relearning tasks in an autonomously engaged manner with increased self-contentment.
Further, we strive to promote and preserve our own unique traditions and cultures yet emphasize the use of modern technologies and advancements imported as well as local. Integrating the educational process within the LRPA module we at Aksharaa look for developing a feeling of patriotism in all our children. The School purposely observes and organizes all major festivals celebrated across the country in their original form. On these occasions, our scheme of celebration is to make students familiar with Nepalese socio-cultural aspects and lifestyles.
Overall we aims to prepare children to not just live but thrive in an extremely disruptive external world by harnessing their inner selves with the right skills and habits.
