The Birla Open Minds Early Years Curriculum is rooted in neuroscientific research and designed to be developmentally appropriate, creative, and integrated. It fosters a sense of care for self, others, and the environment, laying a strong foundation for holistic growth while nurturing a love for learning.
Our approach considers the development of the child as a whole — intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially, across ages. It also recognizes that all children are intelligent and capable learners and will develop across and within these developmental areas, in unique and individualized ways. The learning goals that lead the curriculum, instruction and assessment are thus developmental in nature and ensure a "whole child" focus.
We engage learners through creative learning experiences. Creative expression across learning domains is invited, encouraged and celebrated. Children are exposed to dynamic learning environments, challenges and choices in activities, open-ended questions, and fruitful interactions with peers and teachers. Working with colours and textures, engaging with music and movement and a plethora of other mediums along with ample freedom ensure the nurturing of creativity in each child.
We follow a theme-based curriculum, interweaving various subjects to foster deep understanding and meaningful connections. Through an interdisciplinary approach, children explore concepts from multiple perspectives, strengthening their cognitive abilities, critical thinking, and real-world application.
Our classrooms are designed to be engaging, safe, and child-friendly. The ergonomic furniture, well-organized resources, and visually stimulating displays create a welcoming environment. These learning spaces maximize creative potential while instilling essential life skills and decision-making abilities.
Our outdoor learning spaces are designed to provide children with a natural and enriching environment. Lush gardens, green play areas, and interactive nature zones offer opportunities for sensory exploration, physical activity, and hands-on learning. Whether tending to a vegetable patch, observing insects, or engaging in free play, children develop motor skills, environmental awareness, and a deep connection with nature, making outdoor learning an essential extension of the classroom.
These teacher-guided activities focus on small-group learning, enabling individual attention. Children participate in scientific experiments, creative art projects, puzzles, and hands-on math exercises, promoting fine motor skills, concentration, and conceptual understanding.
Our learning centers are designed to foster independent exploration. Equipped with age-appropriate materials, these centers cover block play, dramatic role-play, language, numeracy, science, art, and music, allowing children to choose activities that align with their interests while reinforcing academic concepts.
The curriculum instills self-care, empathy, and environmental responsibility. Through activities that promote self-help skills, teamwork, and sustainability, children develop confidence, social skills, and a sense of accountability, ensuring they become compassionate and responsible individuals.
We introduce Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) through interactive and hands-on learning experiences. This approach builds 21st-century skills, enhances problem-solving abilities, and fosters a growth mindset, preparing children for the dynamic world ahead.
Early coding introduces fundamental computational thinking skills through engaging activities like patterning, sequencing, and debugging. Using building blocks, puzzles, and interactive games, we nurture logical reasoning, analytical skills, and innovation, making learning both fun and impactful.
