Gaia Preschool,

Overview

Gaia Preschool and Daycare Center is one of the first preschools in India to take the big step of redefining early childhood education by adapting and integrating the philosophy and principles of Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Khel-Katha™ an ancient Indian technique of learning through storytelling and games. Set in a quiet residential neighbourhood of RT Nagar in Bangalore, a few minutes from Jaymahal Rd, and Mekhri circle, Gaia - (meaning Earth Mother in Greek), has been thoughtfully designed to optimise the use of indoor and outdoor space and Bangalore’s excellent weather.

Extra-curricular Activities:

The Gaia curriculum allows children to explore a wide variety of games. Playing with and against adults and peers, they move from simple to more complex card and board games that invoke strategic thinking and logical forecast. Children participate in physical and team sport that encourages healthy competition and an understanding of strengths and potential. Exercises on the romp &roll gym, trampoline, obstacle race and outdoor games help develop gross motor skills involving coordination, agility, balance and speed.

Infrastructure:

Gaia is ideally suited for parents looking for longer preschool hours and day care options. The Childcare Programme provides a perfect setting for active and energetic children who have outgrown the home environment and are looking for a stimulating and authentic childhood.

Childcare is carefully planned and structured to meet the needs of the different age groups, yet autonomous. The programme balances several levels of learning within an interactive setting as children of all age groups mix freely. The programme is open to children who attend schools other than Gaia.
