| Curriculum |
| Theme based concept development |
| Our teaching methodology is based on the undisputed premise that children enjoy learning through play, hands on activities and interaction with others. Kangaroo Kids formulates the teaching of concepts, through activities, songs and games and a variety of hands on experiences through which children can explore and learn about the world around them. |
 |
| Formal Work Preparation |
| Reading is the foundation for all learning, if a child is successful in reading all other learning becomes easier. Skilled reading is a complex process requiring us to do many things at once and is based on a firm foundation in phonological awareness, knowledge between sounds and letters as well as visual memory. Kangaroo Kids has evolved a multi-sensory reading program that keeps in mind that children learn through all their senses. A wide variety of exciting activities also help children acquire pre-reading and reading skills. |

Mathematical Concepts
A wide range of activities are built into the program to provide children with meaningful experiences in problem solving, number usage and a practical application of initial number concepts. Our Maths programs allow for hands-on exploration, active investigation & the use of manipulatives.

|
| Motor Activities |
| Kangaroo Kids provides opportunities for children to develop coordinated skills in a safe non threatening environment. By taking part in structured play situations both, indoors and out, children are offered a chance to try out new skills as well as practice familiar ones. Motor activities, woven into the curriculum teach and reinforce skills such as balance, hand-eye co-ordination, rhythm and the manual dexterity necessary to colour, draw and write. |
 |
| Crawling through the tunnel, balancing a frame shapes or simple activities like music – coordinated jumping through hooplas help children gain control over their bodies and its movements. These activities also help develop each child’s self esteem and confidence. |
| Music & Movements & Dramatic Play |
Music & Movement sessions result in longer attention spans, sharper listening abilities and the development of language / vocabulary skills.
In addition to the skills developed music and movement sessions are a period of great enjoyment for children. |
 |
| Creative Arts |
| The visual arts fulfill an essential need in children to explore and organize their world. The acts of drawing, painting and shaping objects teach children important new ways of thinking, of creating and of communicating with images as well as with words. |
| Field Trips |
 |
Kangaroo Kids organizes outdoor field trips like visits to the fire station, supermarket and petrol station for our younger age groups. Visits to a School for the blind, Optician, Dentist, Air Works, Science Centre and Zoo are just a sample of the various field trips for our older children (Jr. KG & Sr. KG). Fields trips differ according to the age, syllabus and maturity level of the students. |
