Philosophy

We in the school feel Every child is unique and "NO child should be left behind."
Nursery wing of the school at TP block is an ideal amalgamation of joy and learning, of discovery and fun, of technology and human values. Our school is a place where every child blossoms. It is a place where children learn to be creative and imaginative. They are raw when they step into the formal school and like soft clay who can be moulded into any shape. We nurture and empower these tender buds for life through joyful play and learning. We provide a carefully planned and structured environment in which child learns and grows in a natural way. We provide a homely environment.

Curriculum-Laying A Strong Foundation

A dynamic curriculum with flexibility of renewal and upgradation is the need of the hour. The school curriculum has been designed in keeping with the above truth and the learner's needs in mind. The curriculum and activities are designed to make the child discover himself and his environment through exploration and discovery.
The EEDP-Early Education Development Programme Montessori Kit is extensively used in the Nursery classes. We follow the playway and activity approach, with the goal of providing a stimulating play environment for the holistic development of the child. It is through play that a child learns-responsibility, creativity and problem-solving skills.

  In the words of child,
  "I hear & I forget
  I see & I remember
  I do & I understand."

Partners In Education-Parents Golden Rules Of Parenting

Parenting is not just about raising children but also about raising of parents.

Spend quality time with your child and make it memorable and show your care and speak in English at home to improve communication skills. Since we spend many more hours at home than in school, it makes lot of sense if reinforcement & learning is carried on at home too.

Conflict between parents can affect the child negatively.

Overprotection saps a child's independence and confidence.

Parents should never criticise teacher in front of their child.

Parents should be role model for children.

Putting fear in a child's mind hampers child growth.

Don't burden your child with over protection.

Remember each child is unique and it is meaningless to compare them with each other.

Attend PTM regularly as it is only the commutative effort of both teacher and parents which is responsible for the welfare of the child. The children should accompany their parents in school uniform only.

Be punctual. Send your children on time so that time respects them throughout their life.

Check your ward's diary regularly and follow the rules and regulations mentioned in the diary.

Visit school website www.dldavpp.com regularly for latest update in school information.

Child development is facilitated when parents and teachers work together. The involvement and interest shown by parents by working with children, tell the child that his progress is important for them. This serves as motivation and increases the child's self esteem.
Parents and teachers should join hands in shaping the future master minds. For that human values should be inculcated for which the stepping stone is provided by the parents in the house.
We look forward to fruitful and endearing partnership in our journey towards this common goal of developing a sensitive, creative and responsible member of society.
The Motivation that "I can" and the tradition of giving positive strokes have paid dividends and every year the number of accolades won by the school are multiplying. We encourage students to fly with navigate their path to reach the stars.
