Online Preschool, something which no one has ever thought of. These tiny tots will be allowed to be in front of the screen anytime is something beyond our imagination.
Beta, do not touch mobile, stop watching tv, go out and play, generally these are the lines which we used to hear from the parents of a toddler, but this unexpected pandemic has completely reversed the situation. Suddenly one day, it was being informed via news to us that schools are supposed to be shut. I remember, we were getting our kids ready for the exams and we were trying to look out for a new caretaker for the school. Shraddha ma'am our director especially was in Bengaluru to plan for the next academic cycle.
The night this news was flashing, I was not feeling well as I was in my six months of pregnancy. Priya ma'am messaged me mam we need to remain off for two days as there is a notice from the government. I quickly checked the news and discussed with shraddha ma'am and then we asked our children to stay at home, but that night we never even thought that this message which was going to be posted will prove to be an unending situation.
The condition reached to such worse that the whole country underwent lockdown. We completely made our mind that we will shutdown the school, as bearing the rent, and other expense was not possible for the school. But still we did not disclose the news as we were having summer break. one fine day we happened to read this term online preschool. We enquired about it. They were giving for three hours classes. But they were also not very much sure how it is going to happen. But the best thing happened over the call was we were introduced to this app zoom.
Then started with the research work and calls with parents. Few of the parents agreed to continue with online mode , but as per the research and reports by doctors, more than one hour of schooling could only be done online. We started with our online schooling on 18th of may with half n hr of schooling everyday. That 3 hours of time which we used to give to children everyday, now has to be compiled within half n hr. It was not easy , not at all. But we 4 - shraddha ma'am, me , kinjal and priya ma'am tried our best with all the planning to deliver the best method to the children.
Gradually we increased the timings to one hour. Now the biggest question in front of us was how to conduct exams of these tiny toddlers. We prepared the paper and then mailed to the parents. They had to take the print out and that's how exams were also done successfully.
When it came to the part of celebrations, annual day, festivals, games, interactions, we made sure that kid is having the same kind of fun which they were supposed to have. We made sure that along with curriculum, their personality, their speech, their motor skills, their social interaction skills also grows.
And this is the result of all the best delivery of work that our student strength increased from 6 to 21 this year. It is the result of the hard work of the team and support of the parents. I believe what helped us increase the number is our honesty and dedication. We being a school never did false promise to the parents. The most important thing what matter for us is the understanding and learning of each and every children associated with the school.
We teach children through ppts, we try to make those ppts so colourful and so interesting that attracts the children to the screen and they remain there till the time school is going on.
Though it was beyond our imagination, that some day in the future we would be doing it. But feel very proud of the team of avyukt kiddie cloud who made it possible. cheers to the team and the parents. This is not the end. We are going to continue this with more perfection.
If there is a will, there is a way!
