SETTLING
Learning to be away from family is the toughest transition for a young child. Going to preschool will be the first time they will be away from their parents for so long. While it is exciting for a few parents, it is also a nerve wrecking situation for many. To make this change easier, we have a specially designed settling zone where we organize interesting activities to keep the atmosphere upbeat for little children.
We aim to create an environment that helps in building relationships between the children and teachers to ensure positive outcomes in all areas of learning and growth. It is crucial for them to feel safe, stimulated and happy just like they do at home.
This zone also builds the trust of the parents in the preschool and how they be be partners with us for the perfect upbringing of their little one.
Besides other facilities certain special facilities offered in the settling zone are:
- Play Zone, Sand Pit, Creativity Corner (vegetable printing, thumb printing, etc), and Clay Moulding.
- A teacher is allocated to each child and his/her family before he/she starts to attend the school. The teacher ensures that every child’s care is tailored to meet their individual needs so that they can settle into the preschool atmosphere with ease.
- The parents are welcome to visit the school along with their child till he/she becomes comfortable in the presence of other caregiving adults.
- The teachers share information on a regular with the parents about their child’s developmental records and how well he/she is doing in school.

The most important priority for Cocoonz is to lay a sound foundation for life for the little ones which requires quality early childhood education. For us, education will never be limited to books, one can learn anywhere, anytime.
Pre-Nursery is a level that takes the kids a step ahead in their educational journey. Their little minds solve small challenges which in turn build their problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. Their curiosity is also addressed perfectly well as every term brings to them a new theme and concept to unfold.
- This level is suitable for children in the age group between 2.6 to 3.5 years. The harmonious pace of growth prepares them for lifetime of learning experiences and develops in them love for creating, learning, discovering and exploring.
- The students are introduced to a monthly theme which focuses on developing academic skills such as pre-reading, pre-numbers, pattern writing, cognitive skills, social habits and physical strength.
- They also learn basic concepts like colours, shapes, moving on to understand the environment around them. To help them build a connect with the real world, they are indulged in imaginative play, role play and hands on experiences.
- Our vision for the students of pre-nursery is that by the end of the session, a strong foundation is laid when it comes to early literacy and numeracy skills, recognising sounds letters and number and lastly forming healthy relationships with their parents, peers and teachers.
