We as pre-primary facilitators help to nur-

ture and develop the knowledge, abilities

and social skills of children between the

ages of two and six years and help to pre-

pare them for Middle school education.

Looking forward for my new block in

which we are coming up with new infra-

structure for activities like dance, music,

yoga, art & craft , sculpture, library,

gym & activity room.

Hence, I am truly “Committed to creat-

ing a classroom atmosphere that makes

learning fun for the students.‟‟

It is truly said that "Education is not

preparation for life; education is life

itself."-John Dewey

Hi ! I am Gagandeep Kaur. I am

heading Junior wing in Khaitan Pub-

lic School, Sahibabad.

I believe that “The best teachers

are those who show where to look,

but don‟t tell you what to see.”

I am a passionate and hardworking

person, love to be with pre - primary

children. I have completed my

B.Com from Delhi University,

Bachelor’s in Teaching and School

Management from Knowledge Tree

Academy Mother’s Pride; B.Ed from

MDU in 2013-14; currently I am

pursuing Diploma in Montessori

Method of Education from Modern

Montessori International (London).

I have an experience of 7 yrs with

Mother’s Pride school (Anand Vi-

har) where I started my journey as a

teacher in 2006. At Mother’s Pride, I

explored how vast, teaching pre -

primary can be and was promoted as

an Academic Head (Vivek Vihar). I

further started trainings in different

branches of Mother’s Pride regard-

ing Curriculum, execution of activi-

ties, Parent handling, Time manage-

ment, Classroom management etc.

and finally was promoted as Branch

Head (Sahibabad Branch).

Since, I have com-

pleted 14 months in

Khaitan Public

School, my each

day is a day of

learning, full of

experiences under

the constant guid-

ance of Mr.

Anirudh Khaitan

(Vice Chairman)

and Ms. Geeta

Varshneya

(Education Direc-

tor). My vision for pre – pri-

mary is to take it to the next

level. I am working towards

the execution of the curricu-

lum in an innovative way.

Grooming the facilitators of

my department where they can

make classrooms livelier, and

stress on each activity to be

conducted in play way method

is given top priority. I am up-

dating myself constantly with

the changes in the curriculum

and developments in best

practices. I along with my

facilitators strive to provide a

safe and stimulating environ-

ment that facilitates learning.
