Syllabus in the class
 Usually we encourage our teachers to give choice to decide the day subject by the children, we try to implement the methods that the children decide what the children wants to learn the particular day.  We teach Tamil and maths at present.  Through picture and flash card.  We teach Tamil and maths.  We start with the word and sentence not with the letter.  So that the children understand the letter in very easy way.  Apart from Tamil and maths we also give activities like painting, drawing, clay, collaze, puzzles, story, action songs and out door activities like food ball, village based games etc.

 We encouraging village games, songs, story told by the children.  So that their skill also recognize and encourage to store it.

 We are managing to keep health records in each school, where each child's wish has been record in each month.

Parents meeting
 Each month we conduct parents meetings in the each school.  In this meeting we revive the whole month class room and about children's attendance.  We always encourage the parents to feed back the children improvement.  So that parents also would think of education is important than other.
