Programs

Typically, every child steps out of the house and be away from the parents for the first time as an infant. There is a strong need to develop a sense of security in the child’s mind and for it to start communicating with those outside home and the immediate family. Children learn to interact with other children and adults and their learning has already begun at this stage of life. The environment at Jana House of Children is such that it creates this sense of belonging and instills confidence in every child.

The Toddler program is designed for the child to develop a firm foundation in life. The early years of life are the most fundamental in the development of human beings and their potential. These years are when the core of personality, language, movement and trust are developed. Our classroom environment has been prepared to meet the needs of the toddler in order to foster independence, psychomotor development and language acquisition. Here, the teacher is the facilitator to provide this guidance and the classroom offers examples of how parents can follow through with the learning experience at home.

The Extended Care program is developed so as to provide a home away from home for your child during the day. Children from our own school as well as other schools attend this program for a safe, secure, nurturing and healthy environment and atmosphere. Children are provided with pure vegetarian, fresh, home cooked nutritious food (meals and snacks) every day at appropriate times. They are taught to appreciate different vegetables, variety in food and the importance of nutrition to promote balanced diet. Besides, they are enabled to eat independently and clean up after eating, by themselves. Hygienic sleeping area and bedding are provided for the children’s afternoon nap (depending upon their age need). Children are kept active with appropriate play toys and interaction with the care givers. They have access to all the educational aids, puzzles and reading materials so they can put their learning into practical experience during this period.
