How leading daycares teach children being Independent !

Kids have obviously not been a part of the freedom struggle, and unlike us many couldn’t hear it from great grandparents who have been a part of the Independence Day personally. So the only way to absorb the feeling of patriotism within them is through imparting knowledge about it in a receptive way. Hence, Independence Day celebrations are an absolute must in schools & societies.

Here are some ways in which our leading daycares celebrated or plan to celebrate Independence Day with their pre-schoolers & teach them about the freedom struggle and importance of being independent!

The more child is aware of completing their own tasks, the more inspired they may be to do things for themselves and that’s how we start making children independent at Ipsaa day-care. They have structured activities age appropriate and tasks for every child that are developmentally appropriate. For toddlers, ages 2-3, have them pick up their toys after play, put their clothes in their bags. For pre-schoolers, ages 4-5, have them help you set the table with supervision, pick up their meal plates and put in the basket. At Ipsaa every children are given the opportunity and guidance to explore achievement activities of their own choosing. … The main important goal is to up bring every child to a position through which the child can be independent and self-reliant.
