1. Stage One: Exploration & Curiosity
In the 1.5-3 year age group, children at Bella Mente are encouraged to explore their environment — indoor and outdoor spaces, sensory activities, crafts, movement. This builds the habit of asking questions, trying things, and learning through experience. The facility supports this with indoor/outdoor activity zones and creative lessons. 

2. Stage Two: Structured Play & Social Skills
As children progress (~3-5 years), they begin to engage in more structured group activities: story-time, art classes, collaborative play, basic problem-solving. Here they build social skills, self-expression and early cognitive skills. Bella Mente’s trained teachers understand children’s social nature and foster the ability to work and learn with peers. 

3. Stage Three: Transition to Formal Learning
Around the 5-6 year mark, children are ready for more intentional learning: basic numeracy, literacy, structured routines, confidence in classroom environments. Because they’ve already learnt to explore, socialise, ask questions and engage, the transition becomes smooth. Bella Mente’s balanced curriculum supports this.

4. Benefits for Long-Term Growth
The outcomes of this pathway include:

• Children become confident, curious learners rather than passive receivers.

• They develop social-emotional skills: cooperation, understanding, respect, self-belief.

• They adapt faster to primary school routines and expectations.

• Parents and teachers form a partnership, reinforcing the child’s growth at home and school.

5. How Parents Can Support at Home
You as a parent are key! Some suggestions:

• Encourage your child to ask questions and explore — “What happens if…?”

• Allocate some unstructured play time — outdoor or indoor.

• Talk to your child about their day: what they did, who they played with, what they liked.

• Keep communication open with the teachers at Bella Mente — ask for progress, observations.

• Reinforce values of respect, curiosity, kindness — which align with the Vedas-inspired philosophy.
