The core of Shemrock is the widely acclaimed world-class Shemrock system of preschool education,

which has been designed by the renowned and award winning educationist Dr. (Mrs.) Bimla Arora,
who conceived and started Shemrock in 1989. This system embodies the right balance between
guidance and freedom for the child. It provides a carefully planned and structured environment in
which the child grows and learns in a natural way.

As a part of this Shemrock system, a series of sought-after books, workbooks and activity material have
been custom-developed exclusively for Shemrock children. These are updated regularly by the
Research & Development team on the basis of international educational trends.

SHEMROCK is "A School That Cares". Personal attention, provision of healthy nutritious and hygienic
meals for the little ones, stress on good habits, etiquettes and extra help for the difficulties of the
children are the special hallmarks of SHEMROCK. Parents appreciate having the peace of mind that
comes from knowing that children are being supervised and taught by caring and capable faculty
members and supportive staff in a safe and happy environment.

SHEMROCK with colourful, attractive and well designed surroundings is really a child's dreamland. Our
Montessori wing provides specially designed rich learning material and scope for creative activities
such as Reading, Painting, Story Telling, Dressing Up, Make Believe Games, Scribbling Boards, Jumbles,
Jigsaws, Building Blocks, Finger Painting, Clay Modelling, Paper Tearing, Folding and Pasting etc., Role
playing Games in the Doll house Corner help the child in understanding people in different phases of
life. He also expresses his imagination and aspirations for the future.

The basic concepts of numbers and mathematical understanding etc. is developed through experience
of buying and selling in the Arcade Shops. The use of modern audio-visual aids such as T.V., V.C.R.,
Projectors build up interest and make learning easy. Outdoor Play-Pen includes swings, slides, jungle
gym, giant bouncy, mini train, merry-go-round and many other types of equipment. Through the use of
appropriate apparatus, children develop their co-ordination skills required to play more organized
games when they are older. Sand pit, water pool, tunnels, occasional elephant/horse rides, magic
shows, bear shows, monkey shows, puppet shows and intimacy with animals & birds develop
confidence among children.

The Mid-day Meals is a unique facility at SHEMROCK. The meals consist of one milk preparation (one
pot dish-to maintain hygiene) and one fresh fruit. The school uses pasteurized full-cream milk ensuring
food of the highest quality. The children are served meals to their full satisfaction.... there is no limit!!
Children who do not normally eat at home start eating with their friends. Thus, eating in peer group
not only improves child's nutrition but also teaches good food habits and table manners. The puddings
served are : Cornflakes, Custard, Vermicelli, Porridge & Kheer. Fresh Fruit, washed and cleaned is
served in addition to the puddings.

Variety in meals is introduced on various occasions such as special functions, festivals, celebrations and
picnics.

Filtered / mineral / R.O. water is served in the school so the children are not required to bring water
bottles.

Picnics : Refreshment and water arrangement are made by school.

Fun with a Purpose !!

Busy is how most people describe the pace at SHEMROCK. Momentum is high and each day is full and
exciting, children follow a daily routine of activities designed to build specific skills but one day is never
the same as the next. A wide range of activities included in their schedule are - singing, listening
stories, dramatics/ plays, group projects, nature walks and outdoor games etc. These activities provide
opportunities for creativity, physical co-ordination, emotional maturity, practical and social skills.

Childhood is a time for fun and learning. Children's minds are sharpened, energy channelized and
potential fully developed through a variety of purposeful activities. At SHEMROCK the total programme
is Play Oriented. Through these play activities - children grow up making their own decisions and
discoveries. Besides this, a climate of creativity is maintained throughout the year. Activities like
painting, rhyming, singing, clay modelling, block building, fancy dress etc. are being organized in the
school from time to time.

Activity books--"Pink Book and Pre-School Concepts"--have been specially written & designed by Dr.
(Mrs.) B. Arora & Mrs. A. Sabharwal for our children. These books are tailor made for concept
development and are full of exciting activities for our children using the rich material available.
School celebrates various functions like-Republic Day, Children's Day, Teachers Day, School Children's
Birthdays and Festivals like-Diwali, Christmas, Lohri, Basant, Holi, Baisakhi, Rakhi, Janam Ashtami,
Dussehra etc. to give the right concept and appreciation of our diverse culture. Thus, though American
style yet our roots are embedded in the rich Indian Heritage. Birthday of the children are celebrated
once in a month. Distribution of gifts is not permitted.

The school organizes various functions and events in which parents & guests are always enthusiastic to
participate & co-operate. Summer camps/hobby classes & various competitions are also conducted for
children of different age groups. The great success of our school functions is the result of their
encouragement, participation and sponsorship.

From its inception itself, SHEMROCK has been known as an innovative school- one devoted to
experimentation and positive change. Every part of SHEMROCK life is a valuable arena of learning & a
sense of balance permeates every aspect of life here. SHEMROCK is able to provide the best possible
environment for healthy development of young children following the Montessori System of teaching.
This system neither imposes upon the child nor does it abandon him in total free play. It provides a
carefully planned and structured environment in which the child grows and learns in a natural way.
Following child-centered approach, the programme of the school is planned in such a way that it not
only clarifies concepts, but also meets the various needs of the child as : -

 Refinement of senses
 Gross motor development
 Fine motor development
 Language development
 Development of concepts
 Cognitive skill development
 Social development
 Personality / Psychological development
 Creative arts and music
 Practical life (Care of self and environment)

Our teachers are a highly dedicated & professional team. All have the special qualities that distinguish
a good teacher- patience and understanding. They are dynamic, relaxed and enthusiastic with the
ability to create a friendly atmosphere in which the child can express himself and learn. They
encourage the development of each child, by providing security and warmth, emphasizing self
discipline more than authority and encouragement rather than punishment.

Our teachers are carefully chosen having aptitude and experience to teach the young children. Never
satisfied with the tried and tested, they delight in creating more effective ways to explore and share
knowledge thus breathing life into their teaching, thereby, enabling our children to go beyond rote
learning. Our teachers are here because they love teaching, they love kids and they love SHEMROCK
resulting in a dynamic, challenging, interesting and excitement filled atmosphere. All this is possible
because of our continuous and comprehensive in-service orientation, education and training
programme for teachers through self motivated school based activities.
