FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Joyhouse different from other Preschools and Daycares?
Our core uniqueness is in our specialised expertise of the preschool sector. Joyhouse has been conceived and conceptualised by a team which has a strong foothold in the field of quality preschool education for more than 20 years. We understand that each child is unique, and the care given to them is as per individualistic needs. We provide our children with activities and learnings based on globally recommended practices along with developing appropriate 21st century skills. We also inculcate the right values while developing their socio-emotional skills in a nurturing environment. Joyhouse is not only a safe place for your child to spend her/ his days, but also a haven for holistic learning.
What are your ethos?
Joyhouse imbibes the ‘play’ pedagogy endorsed by the government of India in the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stages (NCF) formulated for Early Childhood Education. Research from neuroscience informs us that over 85% of a person’s brain development occurs by the age of 6 yrs, indicating the critical importance of appropriate care and stimulation in a child’s early years for sustained and healthy development. Hence, it is paramount that optimal development happens in various development domains, including physical and motor, socio-emotional, cognitive, communication, early language, and emergent literacy and numeracy in these Early Years. Adhering to this philosophy, our focus is on your child’s holistic development through various interventions aimed at the crucial developmental domains.
What will my child do at Joyhouse on a usual day?
We at Joyhouse understand the importance of routine in early years. We have a structured developmentally appropriate schedule for your children. The schedule includes:
- Greeting and Circle Time
- Preschool learning with a Scripted Curriculum
- Physical Development and Play Activities
- Nap Time
- Meals and Snacks Time

How do you communicate with Parents?
Daily informal communication between the Teacher and the Parent is carried out during dispersal time when parents arrive to pick up their children. Formal communication is through the learners’ handbook or via email. Any urgent communication can be had via phone call/ video call.
How are reading, writing and numeracy skills taught?
Following the principles laid down by National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stages (NCF), of building foundational literacy and numeracy skills on priority for children of age group of 3-6 years, we follow a scientifically proven, stepwise approach to develop these skills in learners. These practices are based on their developmental stage and are progressive in nature.
The beginning stages are pre-math, pre-reading and pre-writing, for age groups 2 years to 4 years, which then progresses towards developing proficiency in formal and foundational literacy and numeracy for age group of 4 years to 6 years.
How are children assessed and what aspects of progress are given importance?
All our activities are outcome-based, wherein learning outcomes are mentioned for each module. These outcomes are further supported by observable and measurable parameters for the teachers to record every child’s individual progress in a linear manner. For the foundational stage, the Education Ministry of India advocates no formal written examinations, but an everyday observation of the child’s strengths and areas where she/ he needs assistance. Based on these observations, the parent will receive a Report Card every quarter of the Academic Year.
Does your curriculum also include Art and Craft, Music and other activities?
Our curriculum focuses on the holistic development of children, encompassing all aspects of learning and development through thoughtful pedagogy and planning. Art activities, music and movement are a part of our preschool curriculum, and we also additionally provide the same as an After-School Evening Programme conducted by experts. There are numerous curricular and extracurricular activities to bring out the best talents of your child.
Do you assist with homework and school projects for children?

What are the hygiene and safety measures deployed?
Hygiene and child safety are of utmost importance, and we have Global Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in place, which were formulated after extensive research and by following all Government mandates and ECCE guidelines. Aspects like physical and emotional safety are prioritised to ensure that the children have a cozy, caring and conducive learning environment, fostering positive relationships between the caregivers, teachers and children.
What are the types of child development activities in your Daycare Programme?
We believe that holistic development must be provided to all children by catering to the six developmental domains and the eight intelligences as per Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory. Hence, we have curated activities to cater to overall development of the child in the following domains:
- Physical Development through activities designed to develop Gross and Fine motor skills.
- Communication and Language Development through exercises built for guided and free conversation, active listening, reading and writing.
- Cognitive Development through discovery, exploration and experimentation, which includes pre-math and math concepts, science concepts, along with logical and scientific thinking experiences through hands-on activities.
