  It is the emotional / physical bonding experiences of infancy and early childhood that the roots of attachment are created giving the individual the capacity to form and maintain healthy emotional relationships throughout their lifespan.

• 

  Our brain is designed to promote relationships. Specific parts of the human brain respond to emotional cues such as facial expressions, touch, scent and more important allow us to get pleasure from positive human interactions. This factor is clearly a positive motivator and learning tool during infancy and childhood. Young children want to please their teachers. They model adults and children they admire.

• 

  It is these very factors that facilitate parents and teachers in shaping pro-social and social behaviors in a child. In the process of teaching children emotional, social and cognitive tasks, the strongest rewards for a child are the attention, approval and recognition of success that the parent or teacher can give. It is the attachment theory that dominates all interactions and educational processes at Kids on the Ryans Academy causing the child to excel, thrive and develop a thirst to learn.

• 

  Thus in our learning experiences, we encourage discovery, creativity, development and exploration in a safe, respectful, yet stimulating relationship based environment.

We as Ryans Academy, carry out Multiple Intelligence inspired methodology that believes in educating the whole child in a balanced manner by working in sync with linguistic, logical, spatial, emotional, and physical development of the child. We strive to provide an artistic curriculum that responds and enhance the development in early childhood.

Each learning process in Ryans Academy is achieved through (I 4) Innovation-> Inspiration-> intensity-> Integrity. Thus the program goes beyond text book and focus on Listening & learning or reading & listening.

Multiple Intelligence Theory and Practice :

Multiple Intelligence Theory was developed by Howard Gardner of Harvard University. It takes the idea of traditional IQ, or “book smarts” a step further and includes the following 8 areas as different forms of intelligence :

• 

  Linguistic –Good in language, reading and writing.

• 

  Logical / Mathematical–Good in mathematical concepts, numbers and logical thinking.

• 

  Spatial –Good at visualizing, including concepts of space, reading maps, puzzles.

• 

  Kinesthetic – Good muscle coordination and motor skills including sports, dance etc...

• 

  Musical –Good with music and musical concepts.

• 

  Interpersonal –Good people skills.

• 

  Intrapersonal – Good knowledge of self, emotional awareness.

• 

  Natural –Good in nature including understanding of life cycles, natural systems, plants and animals.

Everyone has different levels of ability in each of these areas. By understanding a child's strengths, we teach in a way that makes it easier for children to learn.

• 

  Ryans Preschool programs expose children to academics through play, movement and exploration. Our curriculum is aligned with the National Curriculum Framework and is structured to cover the six critical domains of development: cognition, language, social, emotional, physical and creative.

  We follow Activity-based-Experiential learning inspired by globally accepted best teaching practices of Montessori and Kindergarten.
