Academics
Since 2013, we have continually evolved our pedagogy in the Preparatory Section under Vidya Soudha Kids. We follow our own unique VSPS curriculum in the Preparatory section, designed by the expert academicians of the Preparatory Group so as to enhance the MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES among young minds.
We take pride in our dynamic and innovative programs, both academic and co-scholastic, which ensure that learning is joyous, meaningful and interesting.
Vidya Soudha Kids builds a warm, encouraging, supportive and enriching environment and experiences which are for a life time. Each tiny tot is considered as a valued member. Watch the video below to see what makes Vidya Soudha Kids so different, so special.
Our campus is extensively designed to cater to all the needs and requirements of the children for them to blossom as a wholly developed child.
The classrooms and the main areas are spacious, well ventilated and well designed to make it a enyoyable learning center. The furniture used are child safe and child friendly.
The stairs and corridors are carefully planned to ensure the safety of the children on regular days and during emergencies.
Vidya Soudha Kids adopts the cross-curricular activities to teach the kids that includes Rhymes, stories, role plays, field trips, AV sessions, dance, music, yoga, indoor & outdoor games.
Traditional teaching was only restricted to classroom with chalk, dusters and black boards. Now is the era of smart teaching where we practice teaching with technology. One of such smart methods adopted at Vidya Soudha Kids is MI KIDS, a phonic based international English learning programme designed to enhance speaking and reading skills of young learners. This programme is implemented with smart board and visualized methods for better learning.
