KINDERGARTEN, PRIMARY, MIDDLE & SENIOR SECTIONS

Kindergarten Section

Poised on the threshold of learning is our nursery section. The learning process starts from Day 1 – in the Nursery and continues until the child has grown into a youth. The tiny tots start on their road of discovery and learning in a bright, cheerful environment. Learning not just through books but also through our activity-based curriculum. Our trained and caring staff is dedicated to taking care of the little ones.

All that takes place within Happy Days in terms of learning and teaching, building relationships and professional development stems from one overriding factor – the image of the child as described by Loris Malaguzzi. Rather than seeing the child as an empty vessel waiting eagerly to be filled with knowledge, Reggio educators believe strongly in a child with unlimited potential who is eager to interact with and contribute to the world. They believe in a child who has a fundamental right to ‘realize and expand their potential’. This is a child who is driven by curiosity and imagination, a capable child who delights in taking responsibility for his or her own learning, a child who listens and is listened to, a child with an enormous need to love and to be loved, a child who is valued. Indeed the way in which children’s many strengths and abilities are valued and ‘listened to’ is fundamental to this approach. The child is a protagonist, collaborator and communicator.

Primary Section

At the primary level a multifaceted approach to academics helps the development of appropriate competency and the attitude of students. Emphasis is laid on developing imagination and creativity by initiating the child gradually into the mechanics of reading, expressing and building up the vocabulary

Middle Section

The teacher plays the role of a facilitator taking care that the learning is based on experiences and thus focusing on the holistic development of the child.

Senior Section

The learner’s aptitude and interests begin to stabilize by focusing and consolidating their knowledge for them to determine their future and thus ensuring the realization of our vision and mission.
