The early years of a child’s education are crucial in shaping their future academic success. At Iris Florets World School, we offer a unique approach to early childhood education by combining the CBSE curriculum with modern teaching methods like Finland Math and English and a STEAM-based approach. These elements ensure that our students not only excel academically but also develop critical thinking and creativity from a young age.
1. Emphasis on Conceptual Learning with Finland Math & English
One of the core elements that sets the CBSE curriculum at Iris Florets apart is our integration of Finland Math and English. These programs focus on concept-based learning, which encourages students to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
- Finland Math for Early Learners
The Finland Math approach emphasizes understanding concepts rather than rote memorization. For early learners, this method introduces basic mathematical concepts in a way that is both fun and interactive. Instead of simply learning numbers, students at Iris Florets explore math through hands-on activities using tools like blocks, puzzles, and games. This helps them develop a deep understanding of numbers, patterns, and problem-solving at a young age.
- Finland English: Enhancing Language Skills
The Finland English program fosters creativity and communication in students. By encouraging storytelling, reading, and group discussions, our early learners build strong foundations in language, vocabulary, and expression. This approach helps children become confident speakers and writers as they progress through their educational journey.
2. Hands-On Learning Through STEAM
At Iris Florets, we believe that education should go beyond textbooks. That’s why we incorporate a STEAM-based approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in our early learning programs. STEAM promotes interdisciplinary learning and encourages students to think like innovators.
- Engaging Activities
From building simple structures with blocks to exploring basic science experiments, our students engage in activities that develop their creativity and critical thinking skills. For example, young learners might design and build their own bridges during a class on engineering principles, combining arts with science.
- Early Exposure to Technology
Through interactive tools such as Digital Class Boards, our students are introduced to the world of technology early on. This not only makes learning more engaging but also prepares them for a future where technology will play a significant role in their education.
3. Holistic Development Through Sports and Play
While academics are important, early learners at Iris Florets also benefit from a strong focus on physical development. Our 2-acre campus includes facilities like a play area and sports grounds, where students engage in physical activities that promote motor skills, teamwork, and discipline.
- Sports and Playtime
In addition to structured sports, we encourage free play, which helps children develop social skills, creativity, and physical coordination. Our playground includes safe and age-appropriate equipment where students can explore, climb, and run freely.
- Motor Skills Development
Activities such as running, jumping, and playing games on our athletic track and skating arena help improve fine and gross motor skills in children. These skills are essential for their overall physical development and academic success.
4. Emotional and Social Growth
At Iris Florets, we understand that early childhood education is about more than just academics. Our focus on emotional and social development ensures that children grow into well-rounded individuals. We teach values such as empathy, respect, and discipline, which are essential for their emotional well-being.
- Classroom Interaction
Through group activities, storytelling sessions, and discussions, children learn to express themselves, communicate with peers, and resolve conflicts in a healthy manner. Our teachers play a vital role in guiding students and helping them develop emotional intelligence.
- Parent-Teacher Partnership
We believe that parents play an important role in their child’s early education. Through regular parent-teacher meetings, workshops, and communication, we keep parents informed about their child’s progress and work together to support their holistic development.
5. Aligned with NEP 2020
Our curriculum at Iris Florets is fully aligned with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach and the importance of early childhood education. The NEP framework encourages students to explore a range of subjects and skills, preparing them for the challenges of the future.
