PEDAGOGY
At Toddler House, early years education is about much more than academics—it is about fostering the health, happiness, and holistic well-being of every child.
Preschool is not only preparation for school but the beginning of raising joyful, confident, and responsible individuals. Our philosophy is centered on the joy of learning through play, language enrichment, and communication.
We draw inspiration from Jolly Phonics, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Maria Montessori and Friedrich Froebel's play methods, creating opportunities for every child to explore and excel across all areas of intelligence and personality.
Play, when thoughtfully designed, strengthens focus, perseverance, problem-solving, and concentration - skills shown to be stronger predictors of future success than the early ability to read. Research confirms that high-quality, play-based learning lays a strong foundation for lifelong growth and development.
Our learning environments are intentionally designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and confidence. Through guided exploration and meaningful interactions, children are encouraged to ask questions, express ideas, collaborate with others, and develop a positive relationship with learning. By honoring each child's unique pace and potential, we create a supportive foundation where academic readiness, emotional well-being, and social growth develop in harmony.
At our preschool, we bring together the best of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Maria Montessori, and Froebel's play-based philosophy.
Children explore through hands-on Montessori activities, discover their unique strengths, and learn joyfully through play. This balanced approach nurtures independence, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. We value play as the highest form of learning-using games, songs, and outdoor activities to spark joy, imagination, and cooperation.
NATURALISTIC INTELLIGENCE
At GD Goenka Toddler House we nurture children's natural curiosity about the world around them. Through gardening, nature walks, observing animals, and exploring natural materials, children learn to notice patterns, care for living things, and develop a sense of wonder for the environment. This hands-on connection with nature helps build empathy, responsibility, and discovery skills in their early years.
SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
We encourage children to explore the world through shapes, colors, and spaces. Engaging activities like block building, drawing, puzzles, and creative art projects help them understand patterns, visualize ideas, and express themselves. These experiences strengthen imagination and build early problem-solving and design skills.
MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE
Music is a joyful part of our preschool day. Through songs, rhythm, dance, and playful actions, children develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence. These activities not only nurture creativity but also enhance language, memory, and social skills—making learning fun and engaging.
BODILY-KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE
Young children learn best by moving and doing. At our preschool, activities like dance, outdoor play, yoga, role play, and hands-on exploration help children coordinate their movements, build motor skills, and express ideas physically. These experiences support healthy growth, confidence, and active learning.
LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE
At our preschool, children are immersed in rich language experiences that foster early literacy and communication. Through storytelling, rhymes, conversations, and pre-writing activities, they develop vocabulary, comprehension, and expressive skills. These practices strengthen imagination, critical thinking, and a strong foundation for future reading and writing.
INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
We provide opportunities for children to build meaningful social skills through group play, collaborative projects, and peer interactions. By learning to share, cooperate, and communicate effectively, children develop empathy, respect, and the ability to work as part of a team - essential foundations for lifelong relationships and learning.
INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
We encourage children to develop self-awareness and confidence by recognizing their own feelings, strengths, and interests. Through reflective activities, independent tasks, and opportunities to make simple choices, children learn to understand themselves better. These experiences foster resilience, responsibility, and a positive sense of identity.
LOGICAL INTELLIGENCE
At our preschool, we nurture children's natural curiosity to explore, question, and reason. Through fun activities like puzzles, sorting, counting, and simple experiments, children learn to recognize patterns, make connections, and solve problems. These playful experiences build early math and reasoning skills, laying a strong foundation for logical thinking and a love for discovery.
CELEBRATIONS
Celebrations are a joyful way for children to learn about culture, community, and togetherness. Festivals, birthdays, and special events are celebrated with songs, dance, art, stories, and shared activities. These moments create happy memories while teaching children values of respect, inclusivity, and appreciation for traditions.
