As parents we all dream about seeing our children reach their full potential and someday proudly taking their rightful place in society. It is a well-known fact that the formative years of a child are the most influential and the most decisive years in the development of the child's character and personality. Therefore, a good early childhood education that instills positive attitudes, builds confidence, encourages development of skills both academically and creatively, is a decision that could make all the difference.
Asian International School (AIS), a leading Educational Institute in Sri Lanka founded in 1989 and headed by its founder principal, Dr. (Mrs). Goolbai Gunasekera who possesses many years of experience in the world of education and comes from a family of educationists, her mother the well known American Principal and leader of Buddhist girls' education in Sri Lanka while her father Dr. Kewal Motwani was a Professor of Sociology in both India and the USA, proudly presents its subsidiary, the AIS Battaramulla - a Montessori School with a difference.
Situated in the beautiful "Walauwa" style house belonging to AIS Chairman Mr.W.P. Perera the AIS Battaramulla Montessori School boasts of a large garden with lush green foliage, swimming pool and play areas equipped with swings, slides and sand pits. It's the ideal location for little ones to spend time in a truly carefree, yet safe and secure environment, thereby making the gradual separation from parents and gaining childhood independence, an enjoyable experience. Still more if you live in the vicinity of Battaramulla your child won't have to travel through rush-hour traffic to get to school every morning making it more convenient for the daily drop off and pick up too.
The AIS Montessori School, having been in operation since 2007, caters to kids aged between 2 ½ to 6 years and is headed by AIS Directress Ms. Nalangi Perera. Additionally, each class has qualified early childhood teachers who employ both the pre-school and Montessori methods of teaching whilst working closely with teachers from the parent school who conduct specific sessions on subjects such as Art, Music and Movement, Swimming and Sports.
With the intent of promoting swimming as a sport amongst the younger population of Sri Lanka, the school has made plans to conduct special swimming lessons to suit the needs of the younger audience. These lessons will be conducted at the school itself under the guidance of a qualified swimming coach. This will indeed be a unique opportunity for kids as little as 2 ½ years to learn to swim…probably the making of future champions.
The school curriculum is designed to meet the needs and interests of each child keeping in mind that every child is a special and unique individual who needs specialized care and attention. With a healthy child to staff ratio there is plenty of interaction and a healthy child-teacher relationship.
The thinking behind the AIS Montessori School is that children in Playgroup learn best through play; meaning the kids are not compelled to do anything but instead given a free nurturing environment that encourages stimulating hands-on play and learning experiences that support the emotional and social growth of the child. Here, the emphasis for the little ones is more on outdoor and very little classroom activity.
The school also gives its 'little friends' the opportunity to display their talents at music, drama, dance, painting, handicrafts and sports at the school's annual concert, exhibition and sports meets.
On reaching the upper age limit at the AIS Montessori your child is now ready to move on to the next level of education. At this point of time parents have the option of admitting the child to any school of their choice; or they may have the privilege of continuing their child's education at AIS, with special precedence over regular admissions.
If you are looking for a professionally managed international pre-school setting for your child… one that would offer a unique and memorable childhood experience whilst opening up greater doors for their future… then you are most welcome to contact us for the January 2010 intake.
We warmly welcome your child to the AIS family. |
