			I want you to understand the child development which takes place 
			between the age group of 1st to 6th year of the age. Every human 
			being is undergoing a great transition in this period and is exposed 
			to the maximum capacity of SELF GROWTH of his/her own self on all 
			levels, Mental, Spiritual, Social, Emotional, and Cultural. 
			
			Here in this period the capacity to develop on all these levels, in 
			the future imbibed on his/her mind body & spirit by the surroundings 
			environment. It is too often required of children that they should 
			adjust themselves to the world. But it would be more purposeful if 
			the world adjusts itself to the ways of the children in all its dealing 
			with them.
			
			Helping a child does not only mean pampering them with all they want to 
			satisfy their basic needs.
			
			A small child of 3-6 years stepping out from his house where he is 
			under loving care of the wing, now after coming to the Kindergarten 
			trying to get the introduction of the big society of human beings, 
			needs careful & watchful attention of its Mother/Father and 
			Kindergarten. Thus needing the right guidance to learn, to write, to 
			speak, to watch, to observe, to think, to memorie, to express and 
			so on……
			
			You know this period of 1 to 6 years of age is highly sensitive, 
			collecting the full strength and capacity to bloom one day & swing 
			along with the breezes with its own beautiful shape, attractive 
			colour and splendid fragrance. This period is period of being a bud 
			to bloom into a flower. This is like a small plant having tiny roots 
			& delicate stem, tender leaves containing the capacity to grow into 
			a big tree. When the small plant grows in the jungle independently 
			with natural environment it grows with its full force. But when it 
			is planted in the garden the gardener has to provide it with all the 
			necessary things & take care with a watchful eye till it grows fully 
			into a big tree. 
			
			Here for the child of three years of age, you & we are having a joint 
			responsibility to play the role of a Gardener.
