03 Feb Integrating Life Skills into Education

Children’s minds are highly receptive to information. In early childhood, learning life skills lays a strong foundation for kids. Life skills help children handle daily challenges and become independent learners. Learning life skills goes beyond learning alphabets and numbers. Learning is about exploring, discovering, and developing in the real world and not just reading books or sitting in a classroom. Kids pick up skills that stick with them for life. It promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.

At The Clay House, we emphasize interactive learning environment for our children. Our curriculum is designed to help kids grow in knowledge and abilities and hence prepare them for a successful future. Life skills activities we do with our little learners are:

1. Circle Time: Every morning, our kids gather in a circle and do various group activities such as rhyme recitation, storytelling, etc. They talk and listen to each other. It helps them improve their communication skills and help them to be a good listener. They also learn to wait for their turn and be patient.

2. Building Blocks: We encourage kids to make structures and shapes while playing with colorful blocks. It helps kids move their hands and eyes together. They get better at holding and placing things too.

3. Feelings Bingo: We plan activities such as feelings Bingo, which promote emotional intelligence and empathy. These activities help them to express themselves. It helps them understand their feelings and others’ emotions too.

4. Show and Tell: Our little ones enjoy the Show and Tell activity. Kids are asked to bring their favorite toy and tell everyone about it. We encourage them to share it with friends as well. This activity boosts confidence and help them to be cordial with their friends.

5. Group Art Project: At TCH, kids do color splash fun. They are encouraged to play with colors and show their creativity. Kids like to participate in color splash activity and it helps them to share their ideas and be comfortable with their peers.

6. Cleaning the Classroom: Kids are taught to work together, keep their classroom clean and to be responsible. They learn to care for their space and belongings. It helps them to keep them neat & clean.

At The Clay House, we believe that nurturing life skills in the early years of learning is an important key to build a strong foundation for the future. We aim to develop the skills, kids need to excel in the real world. We are dedicated to raise confident, independent, and empathetic children ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.
