Dear Parents,

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.
