THE POWER OF LEARN BY DOING: WHY EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS KEY AT HOLA KIDS?
At Hola Kids, we feel that children learn best by doing and performing i.e. through experiential learning. In our Reggio Emilia-inspired play school customized with Montessori approach in Udaipur, we keep primary focus on providing an environment where children can enthusiastically engage with their environment, guiding them to interactive learning and development. We provide them surroundings where they cry with us, smile with us and learn with us all in a happy and friendly environment. We make sure the children don’t miss their homes while they are at their second home called Hola kids.
What is our Learn by Doing Approach?
It is the practical process of learning through experiences, enabling children to directly capture with the world around them. This type of approach allows children to develop critical thinking skills in their early age, problem-solving potential, performing creative tasks, all while making meaningful connections with the experiential learning curriculum at Hola kids in Udaipur.
For example, at Hola, instead of only education and learning through books, we have implemented different methods to let children explore and let them put efforts to work on their imaginative skills. We have always tried that these kids may remember Hola when they grow big and say proudly that Hola kids is the best playschool in Udaipur.
A mixture of The Reggio Emilia Approach
with Montessori methods
Hola Kids has opted for the Reggio Emilia approach with the mix of Montessori method to make a customised approach for kids to learn and grow at their early stages which places a strong impact on the child as an active agent in their future learning journey.
For example, we keep a note of their emotional reactions while dealing with problems and their performance in different activities. Last week, a kid named Manya was crying and the only solution to her problem was she wanted to be loved by her teacher. This made us happy knowing that we can be their problem solvers.
Hands-On Education for kids
At Hola Kids, we make situations for children to explore with various toys and things, grab them in sensory activities, and captivating them together in collaborative projects. Through these practical experiences, kids develop a deeper understanding of concepts while shaping their communication and interpersonal skills to make them a bright a learner and keen enthusiast.
For Instance, at Hola we have bunch of toys and games like building blocks, Clay games, puzzle solving, Ride on toys for physical development & entertainment-based games, playing with colours and drawing & crafting activities which engage the children to learn with fun and also remember the skills learnt.
Encouraging Curiosity and Creativity
Experiential learning at Hola Kids uplifts curiosity and creativity among toddlers to enhance their questioning skills and getting their answers. We allow children to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them, we engage them into an intellectual growth mindset that will bring out the best in them throughout their academic and personal development.
For instance, teachers keep putting some questions to let students find answers of them. At Hola, we also organise events for kids like “Quiz Quest” where we design questions for them to check their imaginary responses.
