The basic idea that people have about elementary education is just limited to academics. As long as a child can identify alphabets and numbers, parents are satisfied with it. This creates a problem later in primary school when eventually most of the children fail to cope up with the school curriculum. This happens because their roots are weakened in the initial years when the child is at the peak of his growing years. After all, if the roots are weak, no matter how green the tree is, it does fall someday. Principal Sumitra Mitter of Arun Nursery School (ANS) tries to work toward laying a strong foundation for a child’s career by providing an all-round education in her institute.
Children are too young to understand the significance and importance of going to the right school. If the atmosphere is not warm and comfortable, their enthusiasm and curiosity will get curbed under pressure. The competition has highly increased over the past two decades and every child feels left behind. Arun Nursery School works at developing an ambience in the school which allows the students to be physically and mentally fit for facing the outer world.
Practical and modern techniques are employed for teaching the students of ANS including sports, yoga, spiritual learning, art and crafts, hosting cultural programmes, etc. Modern teaching process allows the students to involve themselves in the learning rather than just mugging-up facts. The physical training classes help in developing and increasing fitness and energy. Also, the extra-curricular activities are given enough consideration so that the students improve their skills too- and in the process, truly find their passion.
The credit goes to Sumitra Mitter and her vision of imparting holistic, all-round education to children. Along with her team, she has accomplished the goal of giving the best form of education to the young minds. She ensures that every teacher and staff of the school understands her idea and works with the same positivity. The teaching staff possesses good soft skills and endearing qualities that allow them to take care of every child like their own.
It is the hard work and compassion of Sumitra Mitter and her entire team that has yielded success. The motto of the school is to make the children “love to learn” so they can freely spread their wings and fly in the universe using their own imagination. The children are not needlessly pressurised and that is the best thing about this institution. After all, a strong foundation is always laid by a creative mind which foresees the future.
