At the Indy Lab, the traditional concept of a nursery and preschool is transformed into an engaging and dynamic learning environment. The curriculum is built upon the principles of inquiry-based learning, where children are encouraged to ask questions, investigate, and discover answers through hands-on experiences. This approach nurtures their natural curiosity and instills a lifelong love for learning.
We place the child at the center of the learning process. Each child is recognized as a unique individual with their own interests, strengths, and learning styles. The curriculum is tailored to meet the specific needs of each child, allowing them to develop at their own pace while fostering a sense of confidence and independence.
Recognizing the importance of social and emotional skills, we place great emphasis on fostering a positive and inclusive community. Students learn essential social skills, empathy, and emotional regulation through collaborative play, group projects, and engaging interactions with their peers and teachers. This holistic approach ensures their overall well-being and prepares them for future social interactions.
We believe in the power of experiential learning. Children actively engage in hands-on activities, such as science experiments, art projects, gardening, and nature exploration. By immersing themselves in these experiences, children develop a deep understanding of concepts, enhance their cognitive skills, and make meaningful connections to the world around them.
With an increasing focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), we integrate these disciplines seamlessly into its curriculum. Students engage in age-appropriate STEAM activities that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. These early experiences lay a strong foundation for future academic and personal success.
