Ravindra Bharathi School - Madhapur

The age when the child leaves the environs of the home and comes into contact with many other children of the same age group, is when the child first comes to school. The curriculum at Ravindra Bharathi in pre-primary classes ensures that the interest is created for learning by adopting playway methods. The air-conditioned activity room and colourful classrooms at Ravindra Bharathi, provide the right environment to captivate the child and stimulate learning.

Lead teachers and the support staff at nursery are experienced and have one very important quality which is essential for teachers at this level and that is 'patience'. Using scientifically approved teaching methods, the teachers provide the right ambience for children to understand the various shapes, sizes, colours, structure of the surface and so on. The child is exposed to different languages, culture, religion and different living styles. To understand the individual behaviour of the children, teachers work together with parents and make efforts to bring out the positive aspects of the child's behaviour into play effectively.

The formative years of education are the most crucial ones. The child is motivated to love learning and understand the need of education in a very positive way.

Education is effective only when all the senses are put to use. Students retain some of what they hear, most of everything that they see and every detail of what they experience.

As a part of the regular curriculum, school conducts educational and botanical tours every year. The fun and the learning experience through such trips are splendid.
