KLA Schools Focusing On The All Round Development Of The Children

The learning in traditional schools strictly takes place according to the prescribed syllabus where students just concentrate on what their instructors teach them. Their sole aim is to score good marks on their exams in order to graduate to the next class. The physical, creative and social development of the students become neglected in traditional schools which is affecting their proper growth. This disturbing state of affairs is causing more and more students to become misfits in the society when they grow up. They are devoid of any interests or passions and remain oblivious to the needs and concerns of their community. Due to this, they are unable to lead a quality and satisfying life.

 

Something drastic needs to be done to stop this undesired pattern and replace it with innovative learning for the proper and balanced development of the individuals. If we really want to make a difference in their lives, individuals should be imparted quality learning and nurtured starting from a very early age. This is the time when children’s interests and passions can be identified, encouraged and developed further by providing them the right opportunities.

KLA Schools has already started working in this direction and is providing innovative and rich learning to the children in their preschool years for their proper cognitive, social and physical development. KLA Schools is guided by the Reggio Emilia Approach where the focus is on providing a supportive and enriching environment to the children, so they become motivated to explore, discover and develop their interests. Children learn through a self-guided curriculum.

In KLA Schools, classrooms are uniquely designed, so their look and feel arouses the curiosity of the children and facilitates their learning process. In these classrooms both man made and natural materials are made available to the students which motivates them to explore and experience these materials and increase their understanding about them. They are able to better understand the differences between various materials and sharpen their cognitive abilities. A secure, comfortable and home like environment provided at KLA Schools enables children to learn in a spontaneous and unhindered manner.

In the Summer Camp Coconut Grove undertaken by KLA Schools, students receive an opportunity to participate in various refreshing, fun-filled and playful activities for their artistic and physical development. Children perform these activities under the watchful eyes of certified and prepared instructors.

Teachers perform various roles in KLA Schools including that of a co-learner, observer, researcher and facilitator for proper nurturing and development of the students. They motivate and guide the students to arouse their curiosity, ignite their creative interests and passions and promote learning in them. Apart from teachers, parents also contribute in the learning process of their child.

KLA Schools emphasizes the  importance of documenting experiences which children take part in. Such documentation enables children to revisit and reconstruct their understandings, ideas and feelings at a later time. This documentation is also made available to the parents, so they can obtain a true understanding of their child’s experiences and learning processes.

KLA Schools are facilitating proper and all round development of the children by providing them a home like, conducive and secure environment. It is working towards developing children’s creative interests and passions and sharpening their cognitive, social and linguistic skills. Teachers, parents and the community are all actively involved in the development of children in KLA Schools. The kind of nurturing which the children receive at these schools, will enable them to lead a dynamic and purposeful life when they grow up and be more responsive to the needs of their community.
