Welcome to The Shishya Jigyasa Academy Preschool
Our Vision at TSJA Preschool is to create a nurturing environment in which children become confident and independent learners, and are ready to face life's challenges with positive self-belief and clarity of thought and action.
An environment which encourages values of care, courtesy, compassion and consideration.
An environment where freedom is celebrated and children learn to understand the responsibility of using it to the best advantage for personal growth, while understanding and respecting the rights of others around them.
Where excellence is a way of life and not a goal to be reached at the end of the learning journey.
Programmes
The Shishya Jigyasa Academy Preschool has two preschool programmes which are offered to children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years.
The children who are below 2.5 years start on the Toddlers Programme. . This is is meant to introduce young children to a school environment with uproariously enjoyable sensory activities! These children then graduate to the Mixed Age Montessori Environment, usually when they are 2.5 to 3 years of age. This programme is a beautiful introduction to school life. The focus here is on helping children develop social bonds with their peer group and adults within the structured environment of a preschool. The activities that the children engage in focus on refining their senses and motor skills. The aim of this programme is to make children comfortable in their new surroundings and instill in them the independence needed for the later stages in life.
Children usually stay in the Toddlers Environment only as long as they need to - we do not have any hard and fast rules regarding the amount of time that a child spends in this environment, and the transition to the Mixed Age Environment is decided on a case by case basis.
Children who are between 2.5 years and 6 years start in the Mixed Age Montessori Environment. These children are capable of more advanced activities.Children who are 4.5 years or older (KG1 & KG2) have an extended day in which they spend one hour after lunch working on key academic skills in preparation for Grade 1. This is a focussed programme which lasts until 2:00 pm, after which the children go home.
