Overview

Established in 1992, Step by Step Nursery School has grown from eight children to over 450 students and 50 faculty and staff. The objective of Step by Step is to ensure that a child’s first school experience is full of joyful learning activities which challenge him/her and develop a love for learning.

Step By Step philosophy follows a three pronged approach to value based teaching that is contemporary yet has strong roots in Indian culture and tradition. The preschool stresses upon parental involvement and the social, intellectual emotional and spiritual development of children.

The preschool’s LearningCenter for “children with special needs” boasts a team of qualified professionals and accommodates 60 children. The LearningCenter helps mainstream children with Down’s Syndrome, CP, autism spectrum (Aspergers and Fragile X Syndrome).

Campus

The school is spread over 1,000 square yards with a brick building that houses the main atrium along with 10 classrooms.  A wooden building hosts a few classrooms and an activity centre comprising doll house, music room, etc. The school building is surrounded by a large garden, a swimming pool and swings that are situated in the open area adjacent to the building.

Academics

Step by Step’s methodology is a blend of Montessori, Reggio Emilia and play way methods of instruction.Listening skills & language (both in English & Hindi); yoga, singing, dancing, pottery, drama, story time, role-play, cooking, art & craft are all part of the curriculum. Learning experiences appropriate for the development of each age group are provided daily.

Large & small group interactions which help children co-operate, listen & share; self selected activities which stimulate cognitive growth & creativity, as well as emotional & social development; and outdoor activities which develop large and small motor skills are oragnised regularly.

In the Learning Center for “children with special needs” teachers draw up an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each child which is a collaborative effort on part of the special educators, occupational therapists, speech therapists and the child’s care-giver. These IEP’s are reviewed on a regular basis to monitor the progress of the child.

Step By Step offers the following programs:

1. Mother Child Program for children of 1.9 years to 2.2 years
2. Toddlers Program for age group of 2.3 years to 2.5 years
