Hundreds of tiny tots in the UAE took baby steps to academic life yesterday as schools reopened on April 9. For Indian curriculum schools, it is the beginning of a new academic year in April, and hence the first day at school for kindergartners. For students following other curriculums, the schools resumed after spring break.
And it seemed many took the plunge rather gleefully as it was difficult to find wailing kids being dragged by their parents. In fact, children were seen happily walking in tow with their parents.
Lincy S walked her son Ijo to the KG 1 classroom without any fuss.
"He was eager to start schooling. It was days of preparations with new books, uniform, bag and finally all has gone well. He is a bit naughty but won't create problems in class. I have given him enough training. I eagerly await all the new names of friends and things he will come back home to narrate. This is a start of a new innings for both him and us," Lincy, a working mother, said.
And schools took the extra effort to make the first day of children as comfortable as possible.
Abu Dhabi Indian School kindergarten session supervisor Rachna Vohra said teachers were at the gates to receive new children. "We had rhyme sessions, fine motor skill activities, puzzles to solve, colouring worksheets and other events to make children comfortable during the first few hours of being away from the parents," Rachna said.
