Hippocampus operates preschool centres in villages with a population of more than 5000 people. The centres operate from rented premises in villages. The teachers are women from the villages who have finished school or college. These women undergo a rigorous selection process and are then given extensive training and support to become good teachers. The centres offer pre-school programs for children between the ages of 3-6 years.

The preschool program is holistic, activity-based and supports differential learning. Critical to the success of these programs is the translation of a complex curriculum and pedagogy into simple, executable micro lesson plans.

Hippocampus has been successful in building a solid foundation in a child’s formative years by providing for a multitude of developmental learning in a stimulating and secured environment. The children are engaged with age-appropriate activity based learning to enhance their sense of curiosity, and preparing them for a smooth transition from pre-school to formal school.

The entire operations of a Hippocampus preschool centre are tech-enabled. Teachers enter all data – from attendance, enrollment, fee collection, student assessment, teacher recruitment, and teacher performance on tablets. The entire operations are managed by using data extensively.

From the moment a child opens her eyes, nature sets her on the path of the learning which sets in motion from the survival and gradually progresses to self-actualisation over her lifetime.

In beginning there are no evident classrooms, no teachers and no set of instructions, yet the journey commences and paces to new phases.

My caregivers, my safe environment, my explorations, my expressions and many more components of her realm unfold through her own observations and experiences. Each segment brings in new learnings.

Following this natural design at Hippocampus Learning Centres we too, believe in the most organic phenomenon of learning, which is inventing your own knowledge.

We are committed to the cause of facilitating child-centric learning for young learners; with the help of rainbow of thoughts of great thinkers like Piaget, Froebel, Maria Montessori, Mahatma Gandhi, Krishnamurthy and many more!

We further draw support from school of thoughts like Reggio Email, Multiple intelligences and ever green play way methodology.

For us at Hippocampus Learning Centres these philosophies act as guiding light, steering us towards our mission of making children self-learners.
