It's really high time that our children must be taught in such a way that could be providing natural ambience and involving scientific approach. Educating children has ever been the greatest service to mankind and society for prosperous and peaceful world. Even it's ever been dedicated service to teach humanitarian values and morality by concerted efforts of great teacher.

Teachers, students and their parents play an active role in our educational process. Our educational environment celebrates cultural, ethnic and economic diversity such that children from various backgrounds are taught to live to their greatest potential. Alma aims to provide the experiences for physical, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional spiritual, and social development of the child through creative and modern education in an attractive and caring environment. Thus enabling the child to cope with challenges of life. Play is the work of children. It consists of those activities performed for self-amusement that have behavioral, social, and psychomotor rewards. It is child-directed, and the rewards come from within the individual child; it is enjoyable and spontaneous. Play is an important part of the childhood development. Through play children learn about shapes, colors, cause and effect, and themselves. Besides cognitive thinking, play helps the child learn social and psychomotor skills. It is a way of communicating joy, fear , sorrow, and anxiety .In the early 2000s, children of all ages and from every socioeconomic background often prefer television, computers, and battery-operated toys to self-directed, imaginative, and creative play. This tendency leaves children developmentally deprived, because imaginative and fantasy play allows children to explore their world and express their innermost thoughts and feelings, hopes and fears, likes and dislikes. Through play, decisions are made without penalty or fear of failure. Play allows children to gain control of their thoughts, feelings, actions, and helps them achieve selfconfidence. Alma Kids Preschool aims to spread the study, application and propagation of ideas and principles for education and human development. Helping to create a climate of opinion and opportunities for the full development of the potential of all young people so that humanity may work in harmony for a higher and more peaceful civilization. children are given full freedom to move and are given full opportunity to come out with some discovery and independently.

EXPERIENCE AROUND THE THINGS

Kindergarten: A kindergarten (from German Kindergarten, literally "children's garden") is a preschool educational institution for children. The term was created by Friedrich Frรถbel for the play and activity institute that he created in 1837 in Bad Blankenburg as a social experience for children for their transition from home to school. His goal was that children should be taken care of and nourished in "children's gardens" like plants in a garden.

The term kindergarten is used around the world to describe a variety of different institutions that have been developed for children ranging from the ages of two to seven, depending on the country concerned. Many of the activities developed by Frรถbel are also used around the world under other names. Playing, singing, practical activities, and social interaction are now widely accepted as essential aspects of developing skills and knowledge.

It is well established that the most important years of learning are begun at birth. During these early years, a human being is capable of absorbing more information at a time than they will ever be able to again. The environment of the young child influences the development of cognitive skills and emotional skills due to the rapid brain growth that occurs in the early years. Studies have shown that high quality/ or any high rated preschools have a long term effect in improving the outcomes of a child, especially a disadvantaged child.
