Reading Skills

At Anand Niketan Maninagar, reading is a cornerstone of early development. Our cozy Reading Corners, filled with captivating picture and storybooks, inspire children to explore their imagination while fostering a lifelong love for reading. These spaces nurture comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking from an early age.

Communication Development

Communication skills are carefully developed through engaging activities such as storytelling, show-and-tell, role-playing, rhymes, and small presentations. These interactive exercises not only build confidence and enhance language proficiency but also lay a strong foundation for effective verbal and non-verbal expression.

Numeracy & Inquiry

Numeracy and critical thinking are cultivated through our thoughtfully designed Programme of Inquiry. Children explore mathematical concepts, patterns, and reasoning through hands-on activities and field excursions, connecting classroom learning to real-world applications and sparking their natural curiosity.

Physical Development

Active outdoor play is a vital component of our curriculum, promoting physical fitness and holistic growth. Activities like climbing the Jungle Gym, swinging, and structured play improve muscle strength, coordination, and self-confidence, while supporting the development of both fine and gross motor skills.

Creative Corner

The Creative Corner is a space where children unleash their imagination and engage in free play. With areas like a kitchen setup, play stations, clinic, puzzle station, and doodle art zone, this corner encourages innovative thinking, problem-solving, and social interaction, fostering creativity and cognitive growth.

Sensory Development

We prioritize sensory development through carefully designed curricular activities that stimulate and refine all five senses. From tactile learning with hands-on materials to auditory and visual stimulation through interactive games, our programs help enhance sensory awareness, coordination, and cognitive growth, laying a strong foundation for holistic development.
