After School Program
Phase 1:During this program, kids will be observed initially performing conceptual experiments that are covered in their curriculum. Program will be conducted twice a week. Main aim for initial months is to help them know about very basic understanding of topics which they have been studying, and mould them to observe and use their all senses to judge any phenomenon in their surroundings. A basic evaluation test in the beginning of the program would help both us and parents to know current understanding level of child. Same test at the program end would help us to know how much now child is clear with their concept.
Phase 2: Mid-annual program will include designing of final project according to child’s area of interest. This would help them flourish in their interest and inherent learning skills. Project topics are designed to direct the child to think and innovate. This will help the child to face any projects/tasks in her life! During this phase children will be taken for field visits, tours for real life experiences
Phase 3: Last 2 months, will be dedicated to implement child’s imagination in her project and activities to encourage her learning skills. It would also include a science fair to display all working models at end, so that the pool of knowledge can be shared among kids.

Field Visit
We encourage children to observe things around them. Observe, Learn, Ask and Confirm! Field visit to nature parks, forests, museums enhances the learning phase in children. They learn through their observations and fun/learning-games and activities organized on the spot.
