The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has set the stage for a transformative shift in early childhood education, emphasizing child-centric, play-based, and holistic learning approaches. Private preschools in India now face both a challenge and an opportunity: to align with modern educational standards while standing out in a competitive market. A Finnish-Indian blended curriculum, supported by innovative tools and resources, offers a compelling solution.
In this blog, we explore why private preschools should renew, what changes they need to make, and how they can achieve these goals with Kindiedays, concluding with the impactful results they can achieve.
This approach is equally valid for other countries where education is being renewed to modern standards.
Why Renew?
The case for renewal is compelling:
- Stay Relevant in a Changing Landscape: NEP 2020 shifts the focus from rote learning to experiential, child-centered methods. Preschools that adapt will thrive in the evolving educational ecosystem.
- Meet Rising Parental Expectations: Parents today seek preschools that emphasize holistic development and transparency.
- Build a Competitive Advantage: Implementing innovative approaches, including Finnish-inspired education, can position preschools as leaders in quality early education.
What Should Private Preschools Do?
Renewal under NEP 2020 requires a shift in philosophy, curriculum, and operational methods. Here’s what private preschools should focus on:
- Collaborate with Experts for Professional Development: Engage with specialists in early childhood education to bring international best practices into your school.
- Redesign Curriculum with Global Insights: Adopt a blended Finnish-Indian curriculum that combines Finland’s proven, play-based educational approaches with India’s cultural and linguistic richness.
- Train Teachers in Best Practices: Empower teachers with knowledge of playful teaching techniques and digital tools to become the cornerstones of high-quality education.
- Promote Child-Centric Learning: Design programs that cater to diverse learning styles and support children’s individual learning paths.
- Use Technology to Enhance Learning: Introduce digital tools for classroom management, assessment, and parent engagement to elevate the quality of education and provide personalized learning experiences.
- Engage Parents Actively: Use apps to enable efficient parent participation, progress updates, and feedback opportunities, which are cornerstones of the blended Finnish-Indian approach.
