MUMBAI, India - Feb. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Safari Kid India, one of the leading pre-schools offers a comprehensive program for children in the age group of 8 months to 6 years that focuses on the all round development of the children. Be it academics or extra – curricular activities, Safari Kid India programs through their unique offerings ensure that kids are encouraged to develop their skills in all spheres.

At Safari Kid, programs are designed to accomplish specific developmental goals:

1.     Cognitive abilities: Develop and enhance memory, problem solving, logical thinking, math and reading skills, laying a sound foundation for future academic achievement

2.     Language and Communication: Acquire and develop language skills (written and spoken) at a pace that each child is comfortable with

3.     Leadership Skills

4.     Imagination and Creativity: Imagination and creativity are enhanced and developed by effective use of stories, art and craft exercises, projects, self directed story telling and learning, role play and several other techniques

5.     Social and Emotional Development

6.     Motor Skills: Through play, self-directed learning, motor skill enhancing toys and activities, these skills are developed and honed

In order to achieve these objectives, Safari Kid has developed its own unique proprietary teaching methods like:

1.     Brain Train Method: This method focuses on repetition and reinforcement through unique daily drills designed by Safari Kid with the help of rhymes

2.     High Five system of exploration: In this method kids are meant to explore on their own by using the five common questions - What, Why, How, When and Who. This method is used for teaching new concepts as well as general knowledge and social studies

Safari Kid has designed 3 comprehensive pre-school programs:

Mommy and Me (8 months to 14 months): This program is exclusively designed for both parents and their children for parents to bond with their offspring through one-on-one playtime
Turbo Toddler (15 months to 2 years): This is a preparatory class where children get accustomed to their new learning environment and are taught all the basics of the Accelerated Learning programs through music, movement and rhymes
Accelerated Learning Level (2 years to 6 years): Here, the young minds are stimulated with interactive learning, songs, poems, creative play and circle time. Children are introduced to basic concepts of phonics, numbers, shapes, colours, beginning sounds, reading, logical thinking, tracing, public speaking, match and much more

In addition, Safari Kid also offers a well rounded, enriching comprehensive ‘After School Program’ for all children in school who require additional help post school hours.  The thrust is in helping the child complete their homework packets, assess their respective strengths, capabilities and weaknesses too and at the same time create and work out a curriculum that’s customized for each child.

In order to boost their self-confidence, Safari Kid organizes an Annual Talent Show where kids are encouraged to showcase their talents on a larger platform in front of an audience.

Keeping in tune with the international standards, all Safari Kid centres offering the pre-school programs are equipped with an outside playground for children to play and develop their physical, social, emotional, creative and intellectual domains. The same global curriculum is followed through all the centres. As a measurement of achievement, children enrolled in the Safari Kid pre-school programs start reading before the age of 4 years and start doing mental math and writing before the age of 5 years.

Talking about the objectives of Safari Kid India, Mr Jeetendra Karsan, CEO – Safari Kid India said, “We believe and work on the philosophy that ‘Every child is different and has a different learning curve; we customize our curriculum as per their individual needs and not age.’”

Safari Kid (International), founded in California in 2005 has more than 21 centres across the world and is present in 6 countries including USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and India.
