Amitots

Amiown’s Parent-Toddler Program that caters to the early years of a child’s life presents a unique opportunity to foster healthy development. Parents spend the day with their toddler in the classroom, and play and learn along with them. The developmentally appropriate practices modelled by the teachers in the class help the parents understand critical developmental milestones and what they can do to help support learning that takes place at this stage. The positive parent-child interactions empower parents, make their bond stronger and pave way for children's happiness and success in life. The learning objectives are based on enhancing the child’s personal and social competencies; emotional, cognitive, language and creative development; fine and gross motor skills; and also introducing them to music and rhythm. The program curriculum supports individualized learning, encouraging exploration, experimentation and discovery. Flexibility forms the core of the program. It is responsive to the evolving nature of early learners and provides for different learning styles, supported with careful observations and documentation.

Sound of  Music!
Musical Movement
Music is a natural part of life.
An early introduction to music serves
as an important cue in a child's routine that has lifelong benefits. Toddlers in Amitots sing songs and rhymes accompanied by music and also explore various musical instruments. It helps them to channelize energy, facilitates language development, encourages movement and perfects their motor skills. 

I’m A  Growing Child!
Physical Growth – Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Toddlerhood is an important phase for physical growth, when the toddlers develop and refine both their fine and gross motor skills. The class activities at Amitots provide ample opportunities to refine fine motor skills through activities such as stringing beads, moulding play dough, lacing boards, working with knobbed puzzles and scribbling. Gross motor skills are developed through warm-up exercises, brain-gym exercises and indoor and outdoor play etc.

I Speak What I Hear
Speech & Language Skills
The first 3 years of life, when the brain is developing and maturing, are the most intensive periods for acquiring speech and language skills. These skills are developed best at Amitots that provides for a perfect and language-stimulating environment, rich with sounds, sights and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others. Enriching interactions with teachers enables Amitots to build a vocabulary bank that could even surprise adults.

I Do, So I Learn
Cognitive Growth
Cognitive development focuses on how children process information. It involves language, mental imagery, thinking, reasoning, problem solving, and memory development. Amitots provides opportunities for cognitive growth by offering varied play activities, singing, stimulating activities, reading and encouraging them to explore their environment. Individual needs and abilities with ample opportunities are kept in mind while planning activities.

Expanding Minds
Creativity & Imagination
Every child has creative ability that is waiting to be tapped. At Amitots, toddlers revel in opportunities for expression as they scribble with crayons, paint, make collages by pasting different material and build with blocks. The toddler’s creative abilities are analysed through activities designed to explore their ideas, curiosity and feelings towards arts, music and imaginative play. They are encouraged to use their senses and feelings to interpret the world around them.

Read Me A Story
Reading
Developing an early reading habit has numerous benefits. At Amitots, this is an integral part of the curriculum that helps toddlers grow up, viewing books as fun and engaging. Story narrations from age-appropriate story books, picture books, touch-and-feel books, concept based books on animals, colours, shapes etc encourages Amies to pick up a book of their choice and read with parents and family.

Loving, Sharing & Caring
Social & Emotional Development
Research shows that social skills and emotional development are a very important part of school readiness. Toddlerhood is a critical time for laying the foundation of social-emotional skills. Therefore, Amitots feels proud of its nurturing and caring environment that provides ample opportunities for self-awareness, self-regulation, self-expression, peer interaction, etc.
The teachers caringly meet the toddlers’ needs, love and nurture them, comfort them when they are upset, and encourage interactions with parents and peers in a friendly way.
