CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Teachers are continuously playing the role of guides who teach us manners, social etiquettes and norms. However, one does not get to practice many of the things taught during routine study hours but social functions play the role of the missing link between learning and practicing leading to the grooming of our personalities. Many functions are arranged by the Lords or this purpose and the CDC children also have parties exclusively for them. Disguise Day is the most popular event in which CDC children are asked to come attired in different get ups and are given praise and appreciation for their endearing efforts and awarded by the Directors. An important part of learning is through cultural and religious event. It is natural for a child to feel that Eid is merely a day to be dressed up and enjoy in this material world of lost values but it becomes the duty of us – the teachers, to inform them of the true values of such events.

Alongside of outdoor activities, a variety of field trips await the children to provide them a golden chance to learn about their surroundings. Visits to the airport, post office and the zoo were made to give them first hand knowledge of the workings of those places. At zoo they not only enjoyed watching the animals but also saw how they were cared for and fed, which made them realize that keeping animals is not just a matter of love but also of responsibility.
