Our Gandhi Kindergarten class introduces a more structured learning environment while still focusing on the freedom of exploration and creativity. We integrate both Montessori and Cambridge principles to foster social, emotional, and cognitive development. Children engage in a range of activities, including early literacy, numeracy, and creative arts, all designed to stimulate a love for learning.
By naming this class after Gandhi, we inspire values of compassion, patience, and respect, qualities we strive to nurture in our young learners as they begin to interact more with the world around them.
