Welcome to OPG Kids

Our Programme

It introduces the child to a world of communication, sharing, learning, and exploring. The classroom environment will help develop children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills besides preparing the children for formal school.

In planning the curriculum, teaching strategies and the environment in OPG KIDS, we have kept the special needs and behavioural patterns of 2-3 year olds in mind to be able to achieve our objectives.

Toddlers are usually full of energy and have a short attention span. At OPG kids the children's days are filled with both structured and unstructured activities that stimulate and exercise their power of imagination.

World of Communication ( Language Development)

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?” – Winnie the Pooh

Children love to communicate. They absorb an immense amount of information through their daily interactions and experiences with the various people they meet throughout a day and they want to learn the means that will help them to communicate this information to others. At OPG Kids, we provide the children with the platform that effectively builds upon their communication skills in a structured yet simple manner. Reading books, singing, playing word games, and talking extensively with children helps build their vocabulary and strengthens their listening skills. We believe that the more interactive the sessions with the children are, the more they will learn. 

They are developing an active vocabulary, with their favourite question being, ‘What is this? They understand more than they can express and like imitation and repetition. Can listen to the same rhyme story over and over again.

What we do

We

  • listen and encourage children to talk, talk and talk!

  • describe what the facilitators and the children are doing all the time.

  • introduce children to the names of things, places and people around them.

  • read stories to children.

  • listen to the children attentively and respond.

World of Sharing (Social / Emotional Development)

"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference."- Eeyore (Winnie’s friend)

Tucked away snuggly under their favourite blanket, surrounded by their cherished toys and people who love them unconditionally, children at the age of two feel like the centre of the universe in their homes. They feel secure enough in their own space to share their possessions with their loved ones, but once they step into a world where there are others their age with whom they have to share, the children tend to become a little resistant. They are more focused on their own feelings and thoughts and at this age haven’t yet developed the ability to put themselves in another’s shoes. This is where a good preschool comes in as it helps them to learn to share resources and spaces peacefully with other children their age.

What we do

We

  • create opportunity for shared play.

  • offer sets of toys and encourage efforts to share and play together with others.

  • provide children choices.

  • plan age-appropriate toys and activities which encourage the feeling of ‘I can’.

  • provide a secure environment and follow routines.

  • reassure and create opportunity for success.

  • communicate constantly.

Activities

Our cooperative play environment with large and small group activities will help the child learn to share, communicate, and respect others, as well as, recognize the feelings of others and how to respond appropriately. The activities we do at school are Stories, Rhymes, Role play, Free play, Celebrations, Festivals, Birthdays, Circle time. The children are taught how to greet each other, groom and clean oneself, keep the environment clean and tidy, keep things back in their assigned places, share at meal time and in class, take care of plants and animals, and being helpful and kind to each other.

World of Learning ( Cognitive Development)

“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Christopher Robin (Winnie’s friend)

At the age of two children have a growing desire to be independent. They experience huge thinking, learning, social, and emotional changes that help them to explore their new world, and make sense of it. In fact, a lot of their developmental milestones; such as taking turns, playing make believe, and kicking a ball; are achieved at this age. Children reach these milestones as they play, learn, speak, behave, and move (like jumping, running, or balancing). We assist in this crucial developmental stage by making the children believe in their own abilities and explore their world at their own pace. The learning that takes place is highly individualised and each child is made to feel special and cherished.

What we do

We

  • create an exciting learning environment and stay involved.

  • play matching games with children.

  • provide opportunity for a range of activities.

  • let children touch, feel, smell, taste, and hear.

  • play music and rhymes for the children.

  • allow time and repetition for the development of concepts.p>

Activities

Matching, sorting, grouping, comparing, solving puzzles, building blocks, sequencing, practicing patterns, playing with water, solving riddles, conducting experiments, answering ‘what if’ questions

World of Senses

The world around children is the first learning environment that helps them to observe, explore, question, experiment, discover and learn. We set up a safe and interactive environment by providing children with as many first-hand experiences as possible.

Sensory Perception

To be able to understand a variety of senses through experimentation

  • Sense of Taste (sweet / sour)

  • Sense of Smell (good / bad)

  • Sense of Touch(soft / hard)

  • Sense of hearing

  • Sense of sight

Activities

Playing with water, sand, gardening, taking care of pets and animals, naming their school and class, expressing feelings such as happy / sad, expressing personal needs and using the washroom independently, coming to school on time. Respecting common property and following class rules through circle time games.

Pretend play and role playing are strongly encouraged. Creativity with painting, gluing, and drawing, stimulates children’s imagination and self-expression.

World of Movement

"Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb but how well you bounce." –Tigger (Winnie’s friend)

A child is a bundle of endless energy. Running, hopping and jumping are high on children’s daily agenda as they become stronger and more coordinated. They also love practicing more sophisticated skills through activities like drawing, making shapes with play-dough and feeding themselves without too much mess. While we hold a child’s hand and help them discover the potential they have, we also believe in making them realise that ‘bounce’ or resilience is the most important quality for them to imbibe thus, preparing them for a life ahead where they can face challenges with their heels dug firmly in the ground.

What we do

We

  • give opportunity for free play (outdoor and indoor).

  • offer a variety of materials for free play and exploration..

  • give opportunity to do things independently.


Exciting Preschool Activities to Boost Learning and Fun at Home

Not many activities can claim the dual credential of intriguing and educating a preschooler at the same time—particularly when one is looking to keep them stimulated and entertained within the comfort of one's home. That is where OPG Kids knows how important the blending of learning with play is, and offers a range of ideas that can help in keeping young minds active and grow. Be it some fun preschool activities, playgroup activities, or simple tasks for the first week of preschool, our suggestions are planned in such a way that learning will be fun yet effective.

Fun Preschool Activities for Every Day

Creating a dynamic learning environment at home doesn't have to be complicated. Fun preschool activities are about instigating curiosity and a love for learning. Generally speaking, play-based activities for preschoolers make the process fun and enhance development. Give them simple tasks of sensory play where children get to know the different textures or let them engage in arts and craft-related activities that help in boosting their creativity.

Preschool at Home Activities: Engaging and Educational

Those who prefer structured learning will find preschool at home activities just as engaging as in class. It helps in the development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving through some form of playing or constructive work using blocks and playing simple games on letter or number learning. Different activities can be played at home to learn numbers, alphabets, and shapes for a preschooler.

Children's Playgroup Activities for Social Development

Playgroup activities offer much more importance and help your child learn to interact with others, share things, or cooperate in teamwork. Group activities that promote cooperation and communication, such as group storytelling or collaborative art projects, can be organized. Playgroup activities serve as an entertaining method through which your child will learn valuable social skills that will aid in the development of friendships.

Activities for the First Week of Preschool:

Setting the Stage for Success The first week of preschool activities is quite a transition for both kids and parents. It's very important that they be gradually introduced to this experience with stimulating yet soothing activities. Start the simple routines and familiar games that help them get tuned to the new environment. Activities for the pre-primary in this phase include gentle introduction to classroom routines and fun ice-breaker games that help kids feel their comfort zone.

Best Preschool Activities in School

While trying to find some of the best preschool activities, try striking a balance between educational content and fun. Other individual activity ideas include song time, story interaction, and hands-on experiments that will make learning fun. Preschool activities may involve simple instructions which parents can easily follow as well as materials needed to reinforce learning concepts acquired at school.

Creative Ideas for Preschool Activities

Indeed, creativity is key in keeping preschoolers plugged into whatever they are being taught. Give a general idea or brainstorm some activities for preschoolers, encouraging imagination and creativity. Activities based on play are amazing in this regard, such as pretending games or building projects. Make them learn to think out of the box while trying to solve a problem, express themselves, and so on.

Learning Activities

For students, on the other hand, more advanced activities should be introduced to prepare them for kindergarten. These can be some simple math games, early reading exercises, or science experiments that introduce the basic concepts in a fun and exciting way. Whether you are looking for morning activities for preschoolers to start the day or need some specific preschool educational activities, integrating fun and learning becomes quite elemental. You can create a very enriching educational experience that caters to your child's growth and development with just the right mix of play and instruction.
