OUR PHILOSOPHY
Ekam Early Learning Centre,Jubilee hills is a learning environment where children and adults partner to construct meaning and explore the possibilities. Instilling a love for school and learning is at the heart of Ekam Early Learning Centre. We believe in providing a safe, structured, inclusive setting that supports, encourages and inspires each child. Our fundamental belief that children learn best through meaningful play. This belief reflects in our child-centric program that integrates the cognitive, social, physical, emotional, language, self-help and artistic areas for the total development of the child.
The programmes and curriculum at Ekam have been designed in a way where children learn in various ways and communicate through a multitude of languages, as they seek to understand how the world works. Our effort is to help them connect the dots between what they see, observe, communicate and represent.
Ekam Early Learning Centre takes inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach and the IB PYP philosophy in education.
