Day In The Life Of A GMP Kindergartner At GIIS Bangalore
At the GIIS Bangalore, a day in the life of a kindergartner is structured to provide the students with much discipline, learning, nutrition, exercise, rest and fun, making the entire process of going to school an exciting activity!
A Bright & Start
A school day at the Global Indian International School starts with a morning prayer and affirmations where students are introduced to new moral lessons via short proverbs every day for an enriching and positive start! Once in their classrooms, the teachers can give the children time to interact with one another to promote social and communication skills or conduct a small indoor exercise session to get the day started!
Another Montessori education benefit is that the teachers can start their day by giving the students simple activities like puzzles, crosswords or counting exercises to stimulate their brains to prepare for their academic learning hour!
Academic Discovery
At the GIIS, we believe education should be fun, interactive, and engaging and be viewed beyond traditional teaching methodology! The highly experienced teachers at the GIIS are masters of the kindergarten curriculum and have developed excellent programs and innovative teaching techniques that are more fun and exciting for the students.
Our Pre-Kg syllabus is futuristic and ensures that the students are well-versed in the basics of the primary school’s subjects via a range of fun activities that make learning easy and the students curious.
The 5 Pillars program at the Global Indian International School ensures the holistic development of all our students. The Excelerate Program focuses on building a solid foundation of various subjects like science, mathematics, and languages to help students transition smoothly into primary school!

Story Time: Fun Time
The teachers at the Global Indian International School place a lot of importance on helping students develop many skills like listening, communication, and more. The teachers ensure that the dedicated slot for story time is filled with moral stories as part of the 5 pillars of GMP module’s iCare Program. As an educational institution, our responsibility goes far beyond academics, as our Montessori education benefits students by developing a strong understanding of morals, values, and ethics.
Our teachers pick the right stories to convey moral values to our students and ensure the teaching methodology is interactive ( Enactment, Sock Puppet Show, & More) so the students can effectively extract values from the stories!
Lunch Time
Students are encouraged to bring healthy home-cooked meals for their lunch. Our in-house nutritionists provide all the parents with adequate information on the nutritional requirements to help the students stay healthy and strong during the academic year and their vacations!
Our community-style dining facility prompts students to interact with their friends during lunch to promote sociability and good habits like maintaining personal and social hygiene throughout the session!
We at the GIIS believe that lunch hours with friends improve the bonding amongst each other and build friendships, which are important during the early stages of the child’s academic journey for their personal, social and holistic development.
Arts & Crafts
Another important pillar of our 5 Pillars module is our approach towards helping children develop multi-faceted skills. By promoting arts and crafts, the teachers at the GIIS ensure that all our students’ creative, cognitive, decision-making, hand-eye, and other essential skills are developed and honed.
Our creative approach to making arts and crafts an essential part of all our students’ lives has helped young minds be expressive of their thoughts and actions while at the same time ensuring that they can have fun at school without compromising on their academics!
With their resourcefulness, the teachers help students blend academics and arts by assigning themes that allow students to learn while drawing, sketching or colouring ( Learning alphabet-object association while colouring, Using stencils to understand human anatomy & more)!
Sports & Exercise
To end the day on a high note, our sports and exercise session is specially catered to fit a pillar from our 5 Pillars module’s iPlay program. Here, the students can explore various indoor and outdoor activities and continue building skills in areas of their interest. Our dedicated sporting staff help all our students find a sport they like and ensures they excel in the sports of their interest via dedicated coaching programs!
Our kindergarten curriculum focuses on ensuring that our students start sports and exercise early to lead an active, fit and healthy lifestyle in their growing years. The dedicated coaching team at the GIIS ensures that our sports programs instil discipline and inculcate teamwork, communication, and leadership skills among students!
Teacher-Parent Interaction
The teachers at the GIIS update the progress of all our students to the parents via one-to-one conversations regularly after school hours or during the dedicated days for parent-teacher meetings. This ensures that the parents are up to date on all the happenings in the school and are involved in their children’s school lives as much as possible!
Ultimately, we ensure that all our students at the GIIS’s Montessori program effectively utilise all the available time during school hours! Our innovative teaching techniques ensure that our pre-Kg syllabus is fun and engaging, allowing for a smooth transition to primary school and making us the Global Indian International School and the best GMP kindergarten in Bangalore!
