Our facility and knowledge
rooms are organized into various learning centers where
children have the opportunity to choose the learning areas
they want to indulge in. Different child safe and child
friendly materials are placed at convenient heights for
them to access them in an ambience created to stimulate
excitement and make learning a fun filled experience.
At Strawberry
Fields we create a joyful,
warm and safe environment for your child. Also you will
find areas specifically designed to encourage growth through
play. Your child will discover while under the watchful
eye of their teachers/ care providers. Activities are drawn
from the curriculum areas of art, math, science, music and
movement, social studies, practical life dramatic play,
language arts, manipulative and large muscle activities.
Our facility design and layout ensure an atmosphere of free
thought and expression for every child.
Various
learning centers where your child will indulge in active
learning are
Dramatic play center :
Here your child will enjoy acting the roles of real and
imaginary characters where they will have puppets and other
props available for them to use. This area encourages the
child to pretend and role play, further helping them to
learn about themselves, their families and communities.
Block center : The children get to learn
about sizes, shapes, colours, numbers, order, area, length
and weight as they select and build the blocks.
Music and Movement center
: Music naturally delights children. Even
babies feel its force both physically and emotionally. Toddlers
will happily clap, rock or sway to music. Preschool and
Kindergarten children are encouraged to move with music
and often make up little dances to dramatize songs or events
to express emotions and concepts.
Library center :
This is the area where the child brings imagination into
reality. The child gets to see beautiful pictures of the
stories he has been told about during his communication
session and allows him with much required solitude to think
and ponder about. Having easy access to variety of books
bring about an eagerness in them to want to read.
Manipulative games and Puzzle center : Children
love mysteries. With the assistance of their facilitator,
they get to solve games and puzzles developing their analytical,
logical and spatial skills.
Sand and Water center :
Children Love to play with sand and water. We at SF use
this as a powerful tool to improve their physical dexterity,
the children are taught to sift the sand and scoop water
which naturally builds various skills. They also learn so
much more about the concept of properties of solids, liquids
etc.
Art
area : Most of the young children love art.
They love the process of using the paint on the paper, gluing
things together and making rolls of clay. Playing with the
different art materials, the children are exposed to colour,
shape, design and texture.
Technology center :
Use of computer by the children helps them to acquaint themselves
with better understanding of the use of technology. Interactive
CD's and programs make their learning more interesting.
Science Discovery :
Children indulge in various materials collected from nature
which act as tools for investigation and provide them the
opportunity to involve in simple experiments.
