INTRODUCTION
Vidya
Prasarak Mandal like a big banyan tree branched out in many educational institutions
. In 1976, the efforts of the members and the pioneering efforts of our Ex-President
Late Dr.V.N.Bedekar , member of Vidya Prasarak Mandal late Shri G.N.Joshi and
Late Shri.S.S.Pore and our Superintendent Late Roshan Patel Madam reaped the rewards
and removed the apprehensions in the minds of the parents and then there was no
looking back with these founder Members.The March was on a galloping stride.
Success and achievements were pouring in as they were in the interest of the children
and parents always and they were by fair and honest means.
The pupils are
housed in beautiful constructed , well lighted class-rooms with well equipped
laboratories. In a very brief period students are blessed with a library of beautiful
collection of books. Students spare no pains to turn over the pages.

have been observed in the Galaxy of Sau. A.K.Joshi English Medium School.
PLAYWAY
METHOD
When
education is imposed, the child tends to have an aversion to the process of learning.
The conventional method of teaching is giving way to the informal method where
the children are actively involved in the learning process.
This
new approach of self-learning called the Play-Way method has been successfully
implemented in our Pre-Primary section since June 2001. Informal learning
through Play-Way focuses on the physical, mental and emotional growth of the child
making him self-reliant. Our effort is to encourage self-learning by providing
simple activities for the children, which can be accomplished independently. The
teacher only coordinates and facilitates the learning process.
Children
learn all basic concepts through 'play' in a totally relaxed and stress free environment.
Interactive multimedia tools like LCD, Smart Board and specially designed teaching
aids are used to introduce Alphabets, Numbers and other concepts. Keeping in mind
the adage 'Experience is the best form of learning', field trips are arranged
wherein the children get an opportunity to interact with the real world and get
hands-on experience. This imprints basic concepts on their young minds, which
enable them to express themselves better.
We
ensure that our children enjoy their early childhood through joyful learning,
which facilitates overall development. The results are encouraging with children
enjoying school and parents satisfied with their progress.
