After Udhte Kadam, What Comes Next? Shaping The Formal School Transition
After Udhte Kadam, What Comes Next? Shaping The Formal School Transition
Udhte Kadam, the programme that caters to the age group of three years at The Shri Ram Early Years, Sector 48, Gurugram, is the eldest level at this renowned preschool.  Naturally, the foremost question that arises in parents’ minds is, where does my child go next? Upon completing their early-years journey, children take the next step towards formal schooling, carrying with them the confidence, independence, and foundational skills developed at The Shri Ram Early Years. The transition marks an important milestone as they enter a more structured academic environment and begin a new phase of learning. In keeping with prevalent age eligibility criteria, young learners from The Shri Ram Early Years move into the formal education framework after they complete Udhte Kadam. With over 16 years experience in early learning, The Shri Ram Early Years has moulded a strong pedagogy which is holistic and widely respected across institutions. This enables and empowers every child with a strong skillsets and confident personality, critical for school readiness. 

How Do We Shape Our Little Learners? 

At The Shri Ram Early Years, from Aarambh to Udhte Kadam, the curriculum is designed by a team of Shri Educators. It blends Montessori, Play Way and Multiple Intelligence methods and helps instill focus, increased attention span, group routine, collaborative play, language skills and independent choices.

What is School Readiness and How Will I Understand The Markers That Formal Schools Assess?

School readiness is not measured by how many numbers your child can recite. During admission interactions for formal schooling, there are certain parameters that are observed: 
  1. Language and communication: Can your child answer a question in a full sentence; Can your child name people, objects and feelings without help?
  2. Listening and following instructions: Can your child listen attentively to a two-step instruction, hold it in mind and act on it? 
  3. Social confidence: Does your child greet an unfamiliar adult, take a turn and share space with other children?
  4. Emotional independence: Can your child separate from you during school drop-off times without distress?
  5. Fine and gross motor control:  Is your child able to hold a crayon with steady hands? Is your child able to walk and run, navigate small obstacles without losing balance?
  6. Thinking and curiosity: Does your child ask questions? Does your child try a second time when the first fails?
  7. Self-help skills: Can your child manage their water bottle, snack box and other belongings?
