What is a lab?
A lab is a short and focussed course for children, with the sole aim of improving their understanding of a concept.
A lab employs various tools and techniques to suit the learning style of each participant child.
Last 15 to 20 minutes of every lab are dedicated to play-time. We have a variety of toys and equipment which they can explore and enjoy.
Why the emphasis on play time ?
Children love to play. They deserve it after all the hard work they put in.
Children learn to manage their time to get the play-time The trainer gets an opportunity to silently observe each child during play time and know more about the child. The trainer may use this time to suggest certain activities to suit the specific needs of a child.
If required, the trainer may use this time for one–on-one interaction with any child.
What is the duration of a lab?
Depending upon the subject, a lab typically may consist of 5 to 10 sessions, each session lasting for about 2 or 3 hours.
Mutual convenience of parents and children attending the lab is taken into consideration, while deciding the specific days for the lab.
Why labs of short duration and not regular classes or tuitions?
After interacting with many parents/teachers and actually working in some of the schools, the one common thing that emerged was – some concepts are not grasped well by children. These concepts remain weak while our children keep progressing to the next standard under the relentless pressure of our education system. This poses a great risk in understanding certain subjects in the higher standards. Children then start slipping in grades, start hating these subjects and get into a vicious cycle.
This is typically noticed in the case of Maths, Science, Geography, Grammar, Reading and Writing.
A lab focuses more on what is not covered in tuitions/classes.
How often do you conduct labs for children?
We conduct labs for children mainly during vacations.
