When education plays such a significant role in our lives, educating infants at the right time becomes the foundation stone of their life

They have various queries regarding their role in creating a bright future for their child. The education they may provide at home. What they need is a theory or practical, and many other questions continue to haunt them.

To worsen the dilemma of such parents, has come the year 2020. Story of Souls in conversation with RichBrains Preschool, answers your queries about the importance of homeschooling…

We are amid a pandemic, and this will have widespread implications for our lifestyle. Today, we will try to Rich Brains Preschool Homeschooling education approach and will try to provide a solution to their dilemma as answers to their queries and doubts.

Rich Brains Preschool chain has been in the education space for 5 years. Rich Brains was started by an IITian and a Computer Masters. We at RICH BRAINS have been making inroads with a few successfully running preschools and new initiatives like homeschooling, virtual schooling, and much more to list.

So here is a list of all the much-anticipated questions and their detailed answers: –

1. Why do we need preschools?

As mentioned above, neuroscience has proven that over 80 percent of brain development occurs in the first five years of life. What does it actually signify? It states that the first 5 to 6 years of life make for the basis of life, the basis of a child’s character, and the child’s future. Their ideas will also design the blueprint of their life.

Since our children, for the next six months, are at home with very little activity. Their brains cells are also developing new ideas and curiosities.

If during this part of their life, they do not receive the right care or learning they actually need, they will grow up with a mind with the potential of achieving great heights but not the sensibility that would let them do so and that is something that we need to work together to avoid.

So, that clearly defines the need for preschools.

2. How do Rich Brains Preschool Homeschooling enable schooling in these COVID times.

Frankly, each one of us is going through a common problem. The problem is fresh and we are really trying our best to fight with it. But since the hurdles are new, so are the actions to jump across.

We have started with 2 types of solutions for concerned parents:

i. HOMESCHOOL: The homeschooling platform for young kids with guidance to parents on teaching their kids.

ii. BLENDED SCHOOLING: A mix of virtual schooling and real-time experience.

3. What is the detailed procedure and methods of homeschooling for kindergarten kids?

While most of the preschools impart education through pen and paper, we focus on education through learning, which incorporates both theoretical and practical knowledge. Rich Brains Preschool Homeschooling also imparts knowledge by enabling learning through experiences of touching, moving, listening, seeing & hearing. The term ‘Curiosity’- is the innate nature of every child. We can only satiate it with a theme-based integrated approach. Inquiry-based learning can lead to this.

We emphasize intrinsic motivation to learn, autonomy & self-discipline. We have also introduced concepts like “Discovery time” in our classes which lay stress on the brain development of the child. RichBrains had developed these parameters through the structured teaching approach. Activity-based learning also increase bonding between parent and child (the most nourishing feeling of all).

How we follow it

- Structured Curriculum–We share the curriculum and discuss it with parents in stages. We will provide the worksheets and notebooks for practice at home to turn the learning mode on at the comfort of home.
- Engaging Sessions–Sessions will comprise different activities to enable learning and not just remembering and concepts under the Block being taught. We will also send recorded videos.
- We made them according to age for Teachings to facilitate exact mind development
- The sessions will be Edutainment and Fun to make the kids feel they are not learning but playing.
- It’s also academics and Life-Skills based learning.
- The expert and experienced teachers are giving sessions.
Early Childhood Association strongly recommends that the connection between the learner and the imparter must remain undeterred by the lockdown and hence they must stay in touch with the imparter imparting knowledge.

And thus, build their good habits which would remain with them throughout their life.

Teachers can help engage children in socio-emotional and physical activities-

- By helping them video chat with their peers.
- With the method of storytelling.
- The teacher can sing rhymes.
- Keep them engaged and motivated through yoga activities.
- Teaching kids with the help of stories. Regarding physical distancing, wearing masks, and new hygiene rules.
- Playing games with the kids such as guess the sound; who makes this sound etc?

An engaging video chat like this, for half an hour every day, is not harmful to children.

Problems have been a part of our lives. The current situation of a global pandemic has also put us all in trouble together.
While it is rightly said – “The more, the merrier”. Hence, the trouble stands weak in front of the mass together.

While this is a new sequence for kids and us, it is best to hope that the global situation improves soon. Till that time, let’s keep them positively engaged by enabling learning and not just education sessions for every kid out there. Best wishes to all parents!!!

About our writer, in his own words,

The passion for expressing my ideas turned me to the path of a hobby-oriented succor writer; to touch certain lives with a distant touch of motivation by writing motivational stories. And there’s no looking back. When you go through a path whereby street lamps get off the way, staying determined adds as a shield & succor since the light of determination never lets the path fade away.
