TechnoparkToday.com(Aug,2013)>> You’ve done it: you earned a degree, you’re building a successful career, you attend meetings, wear a suit, take phone calls, return emails and you consider yourself a bona fide professional… And even better, you’re the life of the office. You’re outgoing and fun to be around. This is what you’ve always wanted, right?
In addition to the degree, career, suit, phone calls and emails, you have your lovely kids around. In your busy schedules,have you ever checked whether they are getting adequate love and care from anybody? Are you able to spend quality time with your little buds? Are you capable of giving them a positive developmental graph of physical and mental abilities?
A unique answer to these questions is KINDERSTEPS – a sole name in the child care industry run by Mrs.Femeena Sha, a successful lady entrepreneur who always has a passion towards kids. After completing Masters Degree in Computer Application and Masters Degree in Business Administration, She was on the limelight of her management profession with a steep positive graph when she made a strong decision to quit her job and start Kindersteps. Her decision has been well supported her by her husband, Mr. Sha who is a Biomedical Engineer.
Being the daughter of Professor couple, she wanted to fulfill her dream of running a need based child care and development centre. She understands the challenges of a corporate environment very well as she worked for a Multi-National Company for seven long years and concurrently played the role a mother too then.
KINDERSTEPS, is successfully entering into their second year of operation. They introduced the concept of Infant Care, in which infants from 3 months onwards are getting enrolled. Kindersteps provide a caretaker to infant ratio of 1:1 till the age of 1.5 years. The good news is, that’s what they specialize in. Kindersteps Babycare Wing is a great relief for professional mothers who want to rejoin their busy work schedule soon after the childbirth.
Kindersteps is well supported by their sister concern Talent Domain, the pioneers in Academic Research, Educational guidance and Career development. Understanding the current emphasis on early brain development and the desire of communities to have children “ready to learn” when they start school, their Academic Research Development Team headed by Mrs.Laila Esukunju, Retd. Principal, designed Kindersteps Preschool curriculum that nurture positive social and emotional development, as well as promote early learning.
Anita Sanju Abraham, Senior Associate–HR, UST Global says,”We are pleased with the care given to our 2 year old daughter, Rachel Sara, at Kindersteps. She has had positive behavioral changes ever since she has rejoined back this year. We appreciate their efforts in providing good guidance and care to our child.”
Children’s early learning experiences have a profound space on their development. These early interactions directly affect the way connections are made in the brain and are crucial to the future well-being of children. Children arrive at Preschool from different backgrounds and experiences and at different stages of development. Positive early experiences with preschool are of paramount importance to young children.
Children thrive within classrooms that meet their physical and developmental needs and that provide a secure, respectful and nurturing environment. Keeping in mind to give each child the best start possible, it is essential that Kindersteps Kindergarten program continue to provide a variety of learning opportunities and experiences that are based on assessment information and the strengths, needs and interests of the children.
Femeena says,” We have been geared to give the children a jumpstart to learning and have standards in place to prepare the child for kindergarten. Parents should expect their child to learn certain things in preschool, just as one should expect an elementary student to learn how to read and do basic math.” She adds, ”Although Kindergarten programs are critical in laying the foundations for success in learning, our Kindergarten program emphasis in children’s total development. Teachers, Caretakers, members of the community and families should work together to provide challenging and engaging learning experiences that will build children’s confidence, and encourage them to see learning as both enjoyable and useful. Kindersteps provide a strong foundation for their future intellectual, physical and social development.”
Each day, the safety and well-being of children across the Nation are threatened by child abuse and neglect. Intervening effectively in the lives of these children and their families is not the responsibility of any single agency or professional group, but rather is a shared community concern and responsibility. Prominence of After School Care Wing of Kindersteps comes here. Parents can be on their job with a peaceful mind when their children are on safe hands.
They also provide a Night Care on request which will be very helpful for software professionals and medical professionals who get held up on an unexpected appointment.
Kindersteps is located at Pongummoodu, where people can easily access from both Technopark Campus and Medical College campus.
Kindersteps always try to get their kids surrounded by secure relationships and stimulating experiences, so that kids can draw from that environment to become confident, caring adults.
