A typical day at UC Kindies begins with outside with Freeplay in the garden. It gives a good oppoutunity for kids to socialize and exercise their vocal cords and their muscles. They then collect for a quick Zumba/Yoga sessions, followed by a prayer and the National Anthem. Line up to the class and bathroom time follows
Classes typically start with Centre Time- for discussions and interaction. Learning time is always experiential or based on pictorial activities, with interactive games and Audio Visual sessions.
Alternate inside-outside time is scheduled so that the child gets sufficient sunlight. Most Art, Rhyme and Story sessions on sunny days are conducted outside.
Lunch time can also be a picnic time and is held outside once a week.
Typically every class would have a library session every week, where they can choose their own book and read it. At the recess you would find a lot of children in the library area, picking out books of their choice or playing in the Role play areas or Garden.
At UC Kindies, every learning session is interspersed with a fun session to make learning interesting.
The activities like EPL and Sensory and Fine Motor and Gross motor activities are spread out through the week.
Because the topics are spread across subjects, the child has a feeling of continuation.
So, if aquatic animals are discussed in Science, looking after your pet fish in social science, math would require counting or patterns of the same.
Rhymes would be fishy-fishy in the brook, Story would rotate around a fish/ mermaid, Art would be based around the same topic helping the child think radially and aid cognitive development.
