Childhood education brand Kangaroo Kids is set to launch its new iCan learning system – an initiative that aims to impart future learning lessons and problem-solving skills to children.
The iCan learning system aims to impart nine future skills and 15 habits of mind in young children to nurture future problem solvers, innovators and leaders. The curriculum transitions from teacher-led learning to child-led learning, from learning outcomes to competences, and from a teacher as an instructor to a teacher as a thinker, a press communique from Kangaroo Kids stated.
This learning methodology will provide the young minds with an innovative curriculum and pedagogy which will help them in “immersive learning”, the communique further read.
A dedicated team of educators and researchers at Kangaroo Kids has designed and upgraded this curriculum for the coming academic year.
The iCan learning system is built with learning statements that are measurable, visible and graded so that each child can learn and develop using their individual strengths and personality traits. The system enables flexibility with pace and choice, hence allowing the learners to enjoy the process of learning.
This innovation will aim to create independent learners and will get them to develop habits of mind and imbibe future skills from a young age in whatever profession they chose to pursue.
K. V. S. Seshasai, CEO of the Pre-K Division, Lighthouse Learning, the parent organisation of Kangaroo Kids, said, “The new curriculum is designed after thorough research, keeping in view advanced learning methodologies that enables pre-schoolers to effectively achieve learning milestones in the early years of their development. The age group of 1-6 years is the most crucial as 90% of brain development takes place during this time. The iCan Learning System is designed to prepare children for a world and a future that we can only imagine.”
“The curriculum includes carefully designed and developed learning resources and spaces, specialised tools, equipment and activities that have been thoughtfully formulated to enhance the learning experience of the children,” he added.
Kangaroo Kids is a pre-school and high school education platform in India. The company’s model of education has made its way to over 40 cities across India, Bahrain, Dubai, Qatar and Maldives.
