Udaan Junior: Where Cultural Values Meet Child-Centric Education

Udaan Junior implements a thoughtfully crafted set of methods and strategies to foster children’s learning and development. This pedagogical approach integrates active exploration, imaginative play, and meaningful social interactions while being deeply rooted in cultural and societal values.

Gijubhai Badheka Approach

  • We support children’s right to freedom within defined boundaries, promoting independent exploration.
  • Our approach includes interactive learning through play, stories, exploration, and encouraging  experiential learning.
  • We focus on developing positive self-awareness to help children understand and improve their strengths and weaknesses.

Mahatma Gandhi (नई तालीम) Approach

  • By education, Gandhiji meant all-round development of the   child – body, mind and spirit.
  • The focus is on activity centered education designed to develop children’s skills and promote their independence.
  • Our approach includes learning by doing, living, engaging in service, participating actively, and gaining self-experience.

Maria Montessori Approach

  • Children and childhood are highly valued, following the    principle of “follow the child.”
  • This approach is based on developmental changes and acknowledges the science of children’s learning abilities, along with physical and brain growth. We allow children to learn at their own pace, free from undue pressure, and embrace diverse learning styles within an environment that fosters exploration and play.
  • At Udaan Junior, we focus on each child’s strengths, utilizing their abilities to advance their learning and boost their self-confidence.

Bilingual Approach

  • Our bilingual approach promotes a deep appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures.
  • It enhances cognitive abilities such as attention, memory, and multitasking skills, contributing to improved academic performance.
  • Bilingual education at Udaan Junior goes beyond mere communication; it serves as a gateway to deeper understanding, empathy, and success, preparing our students for a global future.
  • It builds confidence, adaptability, and emotional skills, helping students form connections with diverse peers and succeed in multicultural environments.

Indo-Finnish Approach

  • Learning is not limited to the classroom; it takes place everywhere and all the time.
  • With open-ended learning materials, children are encouraged to use their creativity.
  • One important aspect of the Indo-Finnish approach is emphasizing more on outdoor experiences which we embrace at Udaan Junior. We believe these experiences cultivate a deep connection with nature and significantly enhance experiential learning.

Holistic Approach

  • Our holistic approach ensures the development of each child across physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions.
  • We create an environment where children’s curiosity is encouraged, allowing them to explore and learn through engaging in hands-on activities.
  • At Udaan Junior, we emphasize the importance of a balanced curriculum that nurtures well-rounded individuals, preparing them for both academic and life challenges.
