Vraksh Education has launched a unique enrichment programme for the young minds called ‘Expanding Minds Programme’ aimed at bridging the gap between what is known and what is practised and successfully cater to an individual’s innate urge to create, experiment, explore and discover.
An initiative of Patni Enterprise, Vraksh Education will focus on the subject of Early Childhood Development, a key aspect of overall development that is often overlooked. The after-school programme will span for a period of two weeks starting July 6 and will promote learning through an array of subjects and activities for children between the age of five and 9 nine years.
Speaking on EMP initiatives, Vasundhara Patni, director of Vraksh Education said, “Vraksh Education believes in bringing real life connections into classrooms, to help children relate to factual information and to help enhance their concept formation. At EMP, children will be taught to explore interdisciplinary themes, make ‘out-of-the-box’ connections and express their understanding of these areas creatively using combinations of their many faculties.”
“Our objective is to encourage students’ in independent problem solving, help them face academic challenges and promote divergent thinking in their formative years. The program will also encourage the development of their thinking skills through an interactive curriculum,” added Patni.
