About Ashoka Preschool’s Eclectic Curriculum

At Ashoka, we follow the Eclectic approach to learning, i.e. an amalgamation of the best practices and pedagogies of Early Childhood & Care. As 21st-century educators, we believe this approach allows us to reach out to every child and nurture the learning process in a manner that is personal and therefore, effective.

The Eclectic approach, as defined by leading Early Learning Years experts, is very relevant and appropriate for preschoolers as it presents an opportunity to develop all the essential life skills ‘by learning in a creative and stimulating environment and gaining the confidence to fulfill their potential as learners’.

Our curriculum, especially designed and planned by experts is an integration of the following:

Waldorf Approach

Waldorf Approach

In Waldorf education, the learning process is essentially threefold, engaging head, heart, and hands—or thinking, feeling, and doing. This is the basis on which Waldorf teachers work to nurture and engage each child through a curriculum and methodology that integrates academics, arts, and practical skills. This curriculum emphasizes the child's creativity, imagination, and fantasy for achieving holistic development goals.

Montessori Method

Montessori Method

A Montessori classroom emphasizes hands-on learning and developing real-world skills. It emphasizes independence and it views children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a sufficiently supportive and well-prepared learning environment.

Play Way Method

Play Way Method

Well-known and time-tested as the most ideal teaching technique by leading national and international philosophers like Maria Montessori, Frobel, Steiner, Italian (Reggio), European (IBO), and Finnish educators, this method enables teachers to use tools, and resources defined as ‘manipulatives’ or ‘play material’ to have children explore and question, building on their curiosity.

Multiple Intelligences

Multiple Intelligences

Another popular approach to teaching, is the ability of a teacher to identify a child’s innate learning pattern like visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, etc so that the classroom can help EVERY child learn through a customization of techniques and tasks which makes it personal or DIFFERENTIATED. This has proven time and time again to be the backbone of any progressive learning outcomes that children have in their foundational years.

21st Century Skills

21st Century Skills

All top educational universities have attributed the importance of incorporating 4c’s in everyday lesson plans for children, the curriculum will feature exposure to:

  • Critical Thinking
  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Creativity
Reggio Emilia-inspired approach

Reggio Emilia-inspired approach

The Italian Reggio Emilio-inspired approach empowers teachers to focus on child-centric learning that is self-guided and directed and beautifully uses all elements including the physical indoor and outdoor spaces to create meaningful self-learning opportunities that work on all areas of development, especially core 21st-century skills.

What Sets Ashoka Preschool Apart

Love, respect, and care for each child

Love, respect, and care for each child

We personalize the content making learning meaningful for each child. Special attention is given to the child’s learning style & interests such that learning is seamlessly weaved with play to make it holistic and relevant for each child.

Under the CACOON (Continuous And Collaborative Observation Orientated Nurturing) project behavioral, sensory, preferred learning styles and developmental milestones of every child are observed and recorded. CACOON is further linked with the lesson planning of our educators. The inferences of the observations in CACOON give a clear picture of individuals’ preferred learning styles, which are taken care of during designing activities for Activity Based Learning in our student-centric classrooms.

Transparency and open communication with the parents

Transparency and open communication with the parents

Considering parents as the key stakeholders, the Ashoka group believes in working closely with the family. Our Adoption Calling and Mother Teacher approach ensures personalized and nurturing education. Through Adoption Calling, class educators establish continuous communication with parents via monthly calls, sharing insights on each child's progress and development. The Mother Teacher concept assigns a dedicated teacher to informally adopt all class children, creating a familial bond and strengthening the student-teacher-parent relationship.

Focus on the 21st century skills and the 4Cs

Focus on the 21st century skills and the 4Cs

Developing 21st-century skills is not only important for student's future success in the job market but also in their personal lives. By developing these skills, students become better problem-solvers and decision-makers

The 21st-century learning skills are often called the 4 C's: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating. These skills help students learn, and so they are vital to success in school and beyond.

Specially designed group activities encourage cooperation between the children without competition and nurture their teamwork around goals and joint tasks. These activities encourage thinking and creativity and develop the imagination. This learning takes place mostly through intrinsic motivation, experience, and enjoyment.
