The preschool years are a vital time for learning. Choosing the right preschool for your child may well be one of the most important decisions you’ll make. And a preschool with a global curriculum would be the best decision you would make.
Every child has more than one ‘type’ of intelligence. Each individual possesses a unique blend of all the intelligences. This is what the leading preschool brand – The Learning Curve focuses on. Their curriculum is based on Multiple Intelligence model of Dr. Howard Gardner. This provides children the right stimuli and interventions to ensure the well-rounded development of multiple intelligences.
This theory differentiates between different types of human intelligence. The simplest way to explain this is that a child may have high musical intelligence & maybe more sensitive to rhythms than others. Then we may have child with linguistic intelligence and is good at reading & speaking. This means that each student has their own intelligence superiorities and weaknesses. Known as a learning style, these intelligence domains determine how easily or difficultly a student can learn through a specific teaching method.
The Learning Curve say,” Our curriculum revolves around the concept of ‘multiple intelligence’, that each individual posses a unique blend of eight types of intelligences, as accepted worldwide and encapsulated in Dr. Howard Gartner’s model. These eight types of intelligences relate to a natural ability with words, numbers, painting, music, physical activity, nature, people, and the sense of self.”
There are 8 intelligence domains-
1. WORD SMART: Verbal-Linguistic
2. LOGIC SMART: Logical–Mathematical
3. BODY SMART: Bodily–Kinesthetic
4. PICTURE SMART: Visual-Spatial
5. PEOPLE SMART: Interpersonal
6. MUSIC SMART: Musical–Rhythmic
7. SELF SMART: Intrapersonal
8. NATURE SMART: Naturalistic
The regular curriculum at other preschools does not consider any preference in type of intelligence a child holds. This deprives a child, learning approach through which he learns the best & fastest. The Learning Curve approach is to introduce the child to new concepts and ideas in an engaging manner. A team of specialists guided by Patricia Koh, a renowned international figure in early childhood education, have designed their curriculum, so that the child benefits from teaching methodologies that are world-class.
The Learning Curve curriculum and activities are designed for the holistic development of the child – physical, social, cognitive as well as emotional development.
