THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-21 6 Welcome to Kinderland

We are extremely happy that you are a part of our school community. This handbook is designed to acquaint you with our Kindergarten program and school procedures. Please take some time to read through the content in this handbook. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a connection that supports the school to home partnership, and to share important information about our school activities. You and your child are about to begin a wonderful journey with The Choice family. Accomplishing the Choice school mission – “KCH”-Knowledge, Character, health begins here in Kinderland. Our early childhood learning programme is designed for four diﬀ erent age groups: Kinder Tot: Toddlers (1 ½ years to 2 ½ years) Kinderark: Preschoolers (2 ½ years to 3½ years) Kindergarten: KG (3 ½ years to 4 ½ years) KinderPrep: (4 ½ years to 5 ½ years) In both philosophy and practice, we focus on moulding the character and developing the total personality of the child. We believe all children can learn and will learn in their own way at their own pace. Let us together make their learning a happy, meaningful and joyful experience. Welcome to the start of your child’s educational journey with The Choice Kinderland. Looking forward to partnering with you in this exciting journey.

7 THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-21 Dear Parents,

We are in the “new normal” of living owing to unforeseen world situations of a pandemic that made its epidemic appearance in December 2019 from a localized impact in China to an international level across Europe, Asia, America, Africa and soon the whole world by March 2020. We are in the responsive mode of concocting measures and solutions to fi ght this COVID-19 on diff erent fronts, dimensions which have not only brought relief but also unanticipated side- eff ects. In the midst of these, there are births of many new opportunities, perspectives and a whole new adaptation to the restrictive norms of living.

The economic impact of the COVID-19 is worldwide and we are all striving to create the normalcy we enjoyed and perhaps tolerated during the pre-COVID-19 times. What are the ways forward? What are the sorts of engagments that need to be restored? We have faced lockdowns, containments, quarantines, speedy manufacturing of life-saving equipment, the rush to ﬁ nd medical cure for the pandemic and still we are in the constant fear of the impact of the pandemic. Our education sector has transitioned into the digital learning dimension all of a sudden. What an opportunity if we deem it to be so!

We realize that we could do many things diﬀ erently and still be accepted and appreciated. We oft use the phrase “blessing in disguise” and this is certainly true of the pandemic. In all situations in life, there is the birth of new solutions that are going to be exciting. We are in planes of living that mankind has never seen before owing to the advancements in science and technology. We are constantly evolving. There is no progress without the concept of change and evolution beating the odds and setbacks be it war, disease, disasters, accidents etc.

The digital form of learning is here to stay to aid the physical reality, to preserve Nature in ways we have never explored before. The large-scale worldwide adoption of online lessons and tools proves that technology is crucial in transforming the impact of digital life of world citizens. Where we have been reluctant to go digital, we encountered situations impeding progress. It is clear now that it is a necessary form of survival but not evil although we continue to debate on banes and boons of digital inﬂ uence on lives and specially children.

THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-21 8

Greater dimensions of learning are to be explored with speed. Work from home, lessons delivered at homes, schools being experienced from the comforts of our personal rooms are a reality now and an acceptable way of living because we are in survival mode. The change of mindset, the paradigm shift of possibilities and methods to live and learn are tremendous. Does it take a pandemic to make us realize these? Do threats to our lives have to be there to adopt positive changes? It all amounts to the practice of open-mindedness, acceptance of diﬀ erent ways of thinking, exploration of ideas and thus preparedness that will save us. Sharing of expertise across the world is our key to survival. Collaborative teaching and learning is an essential ingredient in our educational system. We need each other ever stronger to counter the pandemic and the eﬀ ects on our morale and well-being. Yes, let us welcome 2020-21 academic year with a whole range of new possibilities despite the looming threats which shall be cleared and soon pass.

Let us enjoy and grow together staying connected with the knowledge we can gain, the character and the personality that we can nurture, the health that we can build through wise decisions and good habits for us to be true responsible citizens of the world. Welcome 2020-21 with a brave heart!

Thank you.

Ajith P. Jacob Principal

9 THE CHOICE KINDERLAND HANDBOOK 2020-21 Welcome to The Choice School Family! Dear Parents, Teachers and Students, Namaskar! I would like to welcome all of you back to this great institution “The Choice School” and hope you stay safe, healthy and wise. I am aware of the diffi cult situation we are all in now with regard to the unexpected ‘enemy’ that attacked the whole world, including our country. We all know that this virus has caused immense human suff ering and losses. As I write this, we are still unclear as to what the future really has in store for us. Life style has changed, the fabric of relationships has changed, children and families are staying at home, and it is completely a new experience. We were not ready for this unexpected change but I am happy that we could very quickly adapt and face this challenge that continues to confront us. Besides the many lives lost in this world, there is also a major impact on the world economy and in particular, for India. I hope very soon the medical experts will fi nd a solution to the pandemic Covid-19 and put the world back on track and allow our children to get back to school and also for our businesses and enterprises to resume full operations, because I strongly believe a country like India needs a strong economy to back the future generations. It is imperative to value time and wisdom, to work hard and smart, to protect our future. We, at the school, are taking various actions to mitigate any consequences that may impact our school due to this pandemic. Let’s stay positive and united in every way we can, during these diffi cult times. I am sure this too will soon pass!! Once again, we will do everything we can to keep our entire school community - comprising all our students, staff , parents and educational partners - safe, by nurturing knowledge and bringing in new practices which will include self-distancing and personal hygiene. I am very confi dent that within a short period of time, we will defeat this virus and get back on our feet. God bless Choice School, our nation and the entire world! Mr. Jose Thomas President - The Choice Foundation
