Recent Happenings
Dear Parents,
Greetings!
This June 2022, we were elated to welcome our students back at our campuses in different cities. The last two years of the pandemic definitely wrecked havoc in everyone’s life, more so in children’s lives. Children have been deprived of some very basic needs like social and emotional bonding with peers!
We, FCIT are sensitive to the social and emotional well-being of our children. We conducted intense teacher’s training, this summer, across clusters to orient our teachers towards the need for social and emotional bonding in our children. While the academic milestones are important, we felt that it was important to make children feel safe and secure in our school, post pandemic. COVID protocols were followed by all our schools when we opened up the doors for the new academic year.
As for our curriculum; it revolves around themes with a lot of music and movement interspersed to make it fun for this age group. While the toddler children started with play and learn, followed by sensorial concepts, the nursery kids enjoyed concepts like exploring about themselves and understanding their emotions. The kindergarten students honed their skills through in comprehending pre-math concepts and associating the phonics sounds and letters. They also explored the themes such as – ‘myself’, ‘my body’ and ‘my senses’. We had ‘settling plans’ as part of academic planning to settle children comfortably in the first 2 weeks of the school reopening. There’s so much more planned for July!
