Teaching Methodology
Concept Development
Our teaching methodology is based on the undisputed premise that children enjoy learning through play, hands on activities and through interaction with others.
Billabong formulates the teaching of concepts through activities and games and a variety of hands on experiences through which children can explore and learn about the world around them.

Formal Work Preparation
Reading is the foundation for all learning. If a child is successful in reading all other learning becomes easier.
Skilled reading is a complex process requiring us to do many things at once. This process is based on a firm foundation in phonological awareness and knowledge between sounds and letters as well as visual memory.
Billabong has evolved a multi-sensory reading program keeping in mind that children learn through all their senses with a wide variety of exciting activities that help children acquire pre-reading and reading skills.

Mathematical Concepts
A wide range of activities are build into the program to provide children with meanngful experiences in problem solving, number usage and practical application of initial number concepts. Our Maths programs allow for hands-on exploration, active investigation and use of manipulatives.

Field Trips
Since children learn best through direct experiences Billabong organises opportunities for children to learn by seeing, feeling and doing. Throuh these experiences children establish their understanding and acquire social, intellectual and physical skills necessary for the development of meaningful concepts. Going to places and seeing and doing are vital components of any early education program.
Kangaroo Kids organises outdoor field trips such as visits to the fire station, supermarket, petrol pump for our younger age group. Field trips such as visits to a Home for blind, Optician, Dentist, Air Works, Nehru Science centre, Safari Park are just a sample of various field trips for our older children.
Field trips differ according to the age, syllabus and maturity leel of the students.

Motor Activity
Billabong provides opportunities for children to develop co-ordinated skills in a safe non-threatening environment. By taking part in structured play situations, indoors and out, children are offered a chance totry out new skills and practice familiar ones. Motor activities, woven into the curriculum teach and reinforce skills such as balance, eye-hand coordination, rhythm and the manual dexterity necessary to colour, draw and write. As children gain control over their self esteem and confidence grows stronger.

Music & movement sessions result in longer attention spans, sharper listening abilities and the development of language/vocabulary skills.
The visual arts fulfill an essential need in children to explore and organise their world. The acts of drawing, painting and shaping objects teaches hem important new ways of thinking, of creating and communicating with images as well as with words.
