After School Care Services in India's top Preschool: Footprints Childcare
To ensure that your child receives outstanding care, Footprints has developed an after-school education program based on the HighScope curriculum that promotes exploration, imagination, and active learning. Ensuring overall social, emotional, and academic development, we prioritise a safe and comfortable atmosphere while offering age-appropriate fun and informative activities. Our after-school and evening programs now have complete accountability for students' homework completion, with an emphasis on reading, writing, and cognitive abilities. This improves our ability to help students with their schoolwork and our relationship with their parents, giving them peace of mind and helping create better family bonds. For a comprehensive after-school program that promotes your child's growth and development, enroll them in Footprints.
HighScope classrooms follow a predictable sequence of events known as the daily routine. This provides a structure within which children can make choices, follow their interests, and develop their abilities in each content area.
