How children learn here

Péntemind is Kidzee's own curriculum from Playgroup to Senior KG, aligned to NEP 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework. Its method, in three words:

Learn.Unlearn.Relearn.

Five minds, side by side

  1. Emotional BalanceEmpatheticKnowing their own feelings and noticing other people's. Kidzee puts it first: a child who feels settled is ready to learn.
  2. Knowledge AcquisitionConscientiousTaking in new things with care, and beginning to make thoughtful choices of their own.
  3. Knowledge RetentionFocusedStaying with a task and practising until it comes right, so that what is learned stays.
  4. Knowledge ApplicationAnalyticalLooking closely, comparing and working things out, step by step, to solve a problem.
  5. Knowledge DevelopmentInventiveThinking past the usual answer: imagining, and trying ideas of their own.

Eight programmes

  • ArtsyArt, and learning to look at art: making it, and enjoying other people's.
  • Mental MightUnderstanding that people differ, that everyone belongs, and how we are all connected.
  • ShowstopperDrama, from planning a little play to putting it on.
  • Tell-a-TaleStories that explore who does what and what is right or wrong, then invite children to draw worlds of their own.
  • Whirl & TwirlDance, through its five elements: body, action, time, space and energy.
  • Personality DevelopmentGrowing a child's self-esteem and self-confidence.
  • Critical ThinkingThinking things through in order, and giving reasons.
  • Eco-ConsciousLiving gently on the earth: small, eco-friendly choices.

Péntemind's programmes run from Playgroup to Senior KG, and each stage's page names the ones it has. From Class 1, the classes learn from NCERT's textbooks.
