ELC is considered as a Special school in Mangalore that provides education for children with multiple teaching methodologies. ELC India is one of the best Play School in Mangalore with world class facilities for play school, after school classes, day care centres etc. At ELC, we have an open ended curriculum – we believe that children can decide what they want to learn, how much they want to learn and we work with them to further their interests. We have certain basic parameters that have to be completed, but there is no upper limit to a child’s learning. Children can choose to learn on their own, with each other, with their teacher, and from their environment. More than teachers, we are there as facilitators.While we are always there when the children need us, we are not project managers that direct every aspect of the child’s learning. Children are encouraged to be free and independent leaders rather than micromanaged followers. We provide a very high quality learning environment- from a creative outdoor area that includes an antique chariot that incorporates a rock climbing station and a community slide, a sun themed sand play space, a tree house, sky walk way, cycling and skate boarding tracks, organic garden, outdoor art easel, inflatable pools, water sprinklers, pottery machines, clay and mud stations, sensory tables and the like. Every group has I-Pad and classes have projectors which we use for presentations, music and dancing and we incorporate the best technology and online resources in our classrooms. We have various experts who work with us including classical musicians and dancers, artists, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, environmentalists, cooks, farmers and members of the local community. They speak to children, work with them and teach them hands on work. We also take children for field trips every month.
