Our Curriculum:

Our curriculum aligns with the highest learning outcome and standard of NCF, IB, IGCSE, CBSE, EYFS and ICSE, and best practices from Finland, Australia, India, New Zealand and England. It is rooted in neuroscience principles ensuring that every activity is purposefully designed to stimulate cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Our 3 pillars of Instructional Design – Absorb, Interact and Create nurture active learning and set the foundation for achieving mastery.
Our goal also includes instilling environmental awareness and responsibility in young minds as a part of our endeavour towards promoting eco literacy.

Nursery

Nursery classes, a cornerstone of early childhood education, provide a vibrant and nurturing space for young minds to blossom. Aimed at children aged three, these classes offer a carefully curated blend of playful activities, fostering cognitive, social, and emotional development. Through engaging in storytelling, art, games, and basic academic exploration, children not only lay the groundwork for future learning but also develop essential social skills and a love for discovery.

In Dreamtime Learning we have a Nursery batch from 9:00 am to 10:40 am (IST)

The Pre-Primary Program is designed for learners aged 3 to 6 and includes the following grades:

FY1 : Foundation Year 1
FY2 : Foundation Year 2

The Instructional Design encompasses the following child development domains in compliance with Cambridge EY Program:

Inquire and Discover
Connect to the World
Explore Process and Problem Solve
Communicate
Thing and Express Creatively

Our Learners:

At Dreamtime Learning, we recognise that Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. We focus on helping our learners progress not only academically but also develop healthy identities. Our pre-primary curriculum includes activities based on the Casel Framework that encourage learners to become self-aware, equip them with skills to regulate emotions, and make responsible choices while on their journey to self-mastery.

Parental Involvement:

We value the partnership between home and school. Regular communication, parent-teacher conferences, enrichment events and tips for fostering cognitive growth at home ensure that you are actively involved in your child’s educational journey
