Early childhood, encompassing ages 3 to 6, is a critical period where a child’s brain undergoes profound and rapid development—over 85% of brain growth occurs during these formative years. Recognizing this, Siddhantam Heritage School provides a stimulating and nurturing learning environment that cultivates children’s cognitive, emotional, and social abilities, laying a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Core Competencies Developed in Pre-Schooling

1. Psychomotor Development

We emphasize activities that integrate cognitive and motor skills, enhancing both coordination and physical posture.

• Gross Motor Skills: Through engaging exercises and play, children develop control over large muscle groups, enabling them to sit, stand, walk, run, and maintain balance effectively.

• Fine Motor Skills: Activities such as drawing, crafting, and dressing themselves help refine children’s dexterity, allowing for precise movements essential for tasks like writing and self-care.

2. Socio-Emotional Development

Our curriculum fosters healthy interactions and relationships with peers, family, and educators.

• Children learn empathy, cooperation, and effective communication through collaborative play and group activities.
• Teachers facilitate conflict resolution and encourage respectful engagement, building self-control and robust social skills.

3. Cognitive Development

We nurture critical thinking and problem-solving abilities essential for intellectual growth.

• Children explore cause and effect, reasoning, and memory through interactive and imaginative activities.

5. Early Literacy & Numeracy Development

Foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics are introduced through engaging, age-appropriate methods.
