Our Curriculum:
We embrace a play-based learning approach, recognising that play is the foundation of a child’s development. Through carefully crafted activities that engage multiple senses, enhance neural connections and foster critical thinking, we encourage curiosity and creativity, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
Our curriculum aligns with the highest learning outcome and standard of NCF, IB, IGCSE, CBSE, EYFS and ICSE, and best practices from Finland, Australia, India, New Zealand and England. It is rooted in neuroscience principles ensuring that every activity is purposefully designed to stimulate cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Our 3 pillars of Instructional Design – Absorb, Interact and Create nurture active learning and set the foundation for achieving mastery.
Our goal also includes instilling environmental awareness and responsibility in young minds as a part of our endeavour towards promoting eco literacy.
Our Learners:
At The Happy Project, we recognise that Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. We focus on helping our learners progress not only academically but also develop healthy identities. Our curriculum includes activities based on the Casel Framework that encourage learners to become self-aware, equip them with skills to regulate emotions, and make responsible choices while on their journey to self-mastery.
The instructional design at The Happy Project covers the following child development domains in alignment with the Cambridge Early Years Program:
- Inquire and Discover
- Connect to the World
- Explore Process and Problem Solve
- Communicate
- Think and Express Creatively
- Understand Self and Others
- Understand My Body
Playgroup (Age 2-3 years)
Playgroup Classes at THP provide a vibrant and nurturing environment for young minds to flourish. Children engage in fine and gross motor activities for an all round development. We create a classroom environment where children can explore interact and innovate.
Nursery (Age 3 - 4 years)
At THP we prepare young minds for a world full of endless opportunities. Designed for children age three, these classes offer a carefully curated mix of playful activities for a journey of exploration and growth. Though engaging in storytelling, art, games and basic academic exploration, children not only build a foundation for future learning but also develop essential social skills and a love for discovery.
FY1 (Age 4 - 5 years)
Our classrooms provide a dynamic and nurturing environment to foster cognitive, social and emotional development. We focus on reading, writing and math readiness. This stage is crucial for developing foundational skills that are essential for future learning. Children engage in hands on activities to explore inquire and interact.
FY2 (Age 5-6 years)
Our classrooms provide a structured and nurturing environment that lays the foundation for academic success and personal growth. We focus on literacy, numeracy and other languages like Hindi. We prepare children to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. They also train in collaborating and communicating during projects. Children engage in STEM activities for developing skills and confidence needed for elementary school and beyond.
