For us at Little Wonders International the word 'curriculum' has a single powerful association- the image of 'The Whole Child, and hence, the curriculum and 'The Whole Child' tend to be seen as inseparable. Little Wonders International houses classes from Playgroup to Sr.Kg.
Our pedagogy understands 'The Whole Child' means the child's complete integration of intellectual (cognitive), emotional, social and physical capabilities. We believe that all teaching and learning must involve and develop the intelligence to create thinking individuals, who get the right developmental learning and are inspired to be independent learners and achievers- thus creating global citizens.
