Extra Curricular
Extra-curricular activities in preschool are integral to a child's holistic development. At Kidzonia Credence International School (KCIS), a top Montessori and international school in Hyderabad, we recognize the importance of these activities in providing children with opportunities to explore new interests, develop crucial skills, and build self-confidence.
Our belief at Kidzonia is that participating in extracurricular activities goes beyond skill-building; it also fosters creativity and imagination in children. These activities serve as platforms for children to express themselves through art, music, and movement. Additionally, they allow children to explore the world around them through science and nature activities, aligning with the principles of Montessori education.
Engaging in extracurricular activities is not just about acquiring skills; it's about fostering holistic development. These activities at Kidzonia help children develop social skills such as teamwork and communication, equipping them with the ability to follow rules and routines.
