"Virtue is knowledge, Knowledge is virtue" is the motto of Socrates, Plato and
Aristotle. With this main idea, we started a Nursery School at Shastri Nagar in
1976. The then Chief Secretary and Honorable Minister, Shri. P. Ramachandran,
ex-minister of Central Government, inaugurated the School. The Students were
taught under the Integrated Nursery System and teacher training was also given.
Following the footsteps of Rousseau, Erasmus, Comenius, Robert Owen and
Macmillan sisters of England, we introduced various methodologies to our
trainee teachers.
In 1979, we added Kindergarten system of Froebel, using multi sensory and hid
outdoor plays, gifts which include gardening, origami, stick work, cubism, clay
work, painting, drawing, music, drama, puppets and outdoor activities.
Froebel's philosophy is similar to the basic principles of Theosophical society
- "Man first should understand himself; understand his relationship with
nature, and then the realization of God through nature".
In the year 1981 onwards, we had integrated the Nursery and Kindergarten system
with the Montessori system of Madam Maria Montessori, which gives importance
for sensory training with sensorial apparatus. This system is spread all over
the World from 1907 till date and this new syllabus gives more importance for
experimentation, exploration and experience.
Montessori Teacher training facilities the teachers to establish a direct
rapport with the budding personality of the little children. This institution
also provides all the modern aids and techniques to train teachers who can in
turn train the children all over the World.
