Curriculum & Pedagogy
KINDERGARTEN
Entering Kindergarten is one of the most significant mile stone in a young child’s life and it’s something that is deserved to be celebrated. GISN follows a unique curriculum for kindergartners where we nurture their creative & thinking skills.
SAND WRITING
Kindergartners are exposed to sand writing to develop their fine motor skills. When a child uses his/her fingers to write a letter and number in sand, the whole arm is involved. This gives the complete stroke development as a whole which enhances their fine motor abilities.
OPENING ACTIVITY
Opening activity is one among the methodology which activates the little mind in no time. It also makes them to revise their basics in a fun-filled way. Here at gateway the kids are engaged in five different fun-filled learning activities in five days a week. The mornings are energized by the surprise activities planned by our creative kinder team for our children.
STORY CORNER
The enriching story corners activates their mind to think beyond the set methodology of the classroom. Children come up with their own creative stories based on the picture portrayed in the corner. They narrates story which beautifully depicts the plethora of imagination beyond the horizon. It not only enhances vocabulary but also train the children to be an imaginative speaker.

NATURE TABLE
The nature table allows the changes that are taking place in the natural world to be given expression indoors. The figures and items on the table depict the essence of what is happening in nature. Creating and maintaining a nature table will sharpen your observation of what goes on in nature. Young children do not knowingly study nature but they are nevertheless unconsciously aware of its laws. The important aspect of a nature table as it relates to children is that the child is able to connect with the objects and the scene depicted on the table.
