Roadmap to My Dreams(RTMD)
Roadmap to My Dreams is a continuous process of carving a personalized career trajectory for your child. It is a journey which identifies the child’s areas of interest, aptitude, potential and personality. Based on scientifically recorded data, we analyze and identify the dominant strengths present in your child. This can help them decide between multiple choices available in different fields such as education, hobbies, sports, art, music, career options and more. The process starts as early as kindergarten and continues till senior secondary.
TSGM’s RTMD (Roadmap to My Dreams) Program, ensures:
- Strengths and weaknesses are identified from the early stages, through various scientifically designed tools and approaches.
- Exposure to current and emerging Careers by integrating career education as part of the regular school curriculum.
- Creating a Repository of Ability Clusters based on Research.
- Mapping the child’s “Strengths” to the right “Ability Cluster” through statistical analysis of data captured pertaining to the child, that covers academic performance, interests, dominant strengths, career preferences, non-academic performance etc.
How does it happen?
Discover dominant strengths of the child:
- MI RIASEC Tests: A battery of psychometric evaluations to identify dominant strengths, personality and interest areas.
- Feedback from parents/ teachers/ counsellors.
- Engagement level in the classroom through discovery packets and activities.Tailor important parts of the content and teaching methodology based on the identified strength.
Design personalized education trajectory to accentuate those strengths:
- MI RIASEC Tests: A battery of psychometric evaluations to identify dominant strengths, personality and interest areas.
- Map each student’s strengths to potential careers and define a career trajectory to them.
- Expose them to opportunities that will maximize these strengths and build on them.
Design personalized education trajectory to accentuate those strengths:
Diagnosis
(Discovery)
- Educators observe and note classroom behavior and performance that point to certain dominant strengths.
- Understand the child’s traits and nurturing those traits as they relate to the child’s dream (Dream Book), finding good role models, and expose the child to the world outside their day to day interaction.
Intervention
- Class visits, guest lectures and internships to be arranged based on dominant strengths.
Monitoring
- Educators to take stock of accumulated data points from diagnostic tests, co-scholastic activities and classroom notes to point to consolidation of the child’s dominant strengths.
Committed to create a walking platform for every child to have a Roadmap to his / her dreams which if inculcated early in children’s life will reduce the wasteful detours and various wounds & scars that an unguided life leaves behind. TSGM brings research, statistics, and science into how life changing long term decisions are made and bring them early on because an early start & focus without letting go of the fun element that a child so richly deserves is the key to an education journey that spells self confidence and happiness.
Way of Learning
Pre-Primary & Elementary Years at TSGM
According to brain development research 90% of brain is developed at the age of 5 years, thus TSGM Pre-Primary Discovery Packets are particularly equipped to deliver fundamental concepts in early years. Discovery Packets help children internalise concepts such as colours, shapes, letters, numbers, seasons and such.
It revolves around developmental domains of the early childhood years. It exposes the children gradually and naturally to the world of technology and is integrated with activity based learning. The packets are weaved and integrated with the proven methodologies of playway, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf. The well segmented and classified program ensures an effective implementation in a naturally adaptive manner.
The Playgroup and Nursery curriculum focuses on developing fine and gross motor skills, skills of language, communication, identifying and relating to surroundings. Holistic growth and development of child in terms of emotional, physical, intellectual and social is given importance.
The LKG and UKG curriculum gets more structured for literacy, numeracy, social and emotional development of child. The skills are integrated through music, dance, art, games, story books, games, puzzles, toys, interaction, social events, festival celebration and worksheets.
Our scientifically designed assessment methodology will ensure child’s progress in various skill areas are monitored and progress is shared with parents. Parents will play a key role in ensuring success of their child’s learning development in future years. Apart from greater academic focus in Elementary years Grade 1 and 2, TSGM believes in capturing & nurturing the dreams of children right from this tender age. We introduce children to our RTMD project (Roadmap to My Dreams) project and subtly guide them towards their goals.
Apart from the curriculum itself, Pre-Primary Learning Spaces such as Wet & Messy Area, Dollhouse, Story Telling Room, Splash Pool and classrooms that absorb children in their colourful world are reasons why Pre-Primary years at TSGM are lot more fun. Everything in the tiny tot TSGM world is kept colourful, attractive and reachable, because it’s made just for them!

Nursery
We strongly believe that each child is unique and every child has their aspirations in their small & beautiful world, keeping that thought in the mind, we have incorporated different spheres of learning into our curriculum.
We firmly believe that each child’s pace and approach to learning varies. Hence, each one must be given the requisite time and space. Teachers work as facilitators who enable the children to make their choices. No child is ever forced to take up a task against his/her will.
Nursery is the first step of your child to any kind of education away from your house. It is an education with playful activities . Based on interests & liking, we analyze & allows kids to explore. These activities helps in deciding choices available in different fields such as education, hobbies, sports, art, music, career options and more in the years to come. The process starts from nursery and continues to kindergarten and then till primary school.
LKG/UKG
Our Pre-School program offers children a decisive stepping-stone into the world of formal education. We teach children’s to understand learning as something fun, Instead of being stressed the first time they’re in a classroom. We encourage students to explore freely & develop social skills and creative ways of learning. Our curriculum for LKG & UKG helps children ease the transition from home to school. They learn structures and routines in a progressive manner.
Lower kindergarten (LKG) or Junior KG is a natural progression from the Nursery. They learn the alphabet and basic numbers. Children will be encouraged to play. They develop social, emotional and physical skills.
Upper kindergarten (UKG) or Senior KG is a more structured way of teaching. Children learn to read and write using creative methods. Their vocabulary develops and they learn basic math. Teachers use a more individual approach depending on the child. The learnings are used to prepare children for first grade.
Grade 1-10
A developing mind needs more than just academics for overall development. Primary schooling or the grade 1-10 is the actual start of the journey of proper schooling or more than that for life. Our skilled teachers create an environment where academic teaching, the emergence of creativity and development of personality – all take on a parallel focus; Thereby our focus is on strengthening the foundation for character development of the children for the years to come.
We know that young kids only flourish when they are treated with love, kindness, and respect. So we make sure to instil values of humanity & integrity into them. We understand the importance of uniqueness in every individual, whether that person is shy or confident, sporty, scholarly or both. We nurture every child with equality, care & kindness. We emphasize the importance of learning through play all the while having a commitment to holistic, structured and curious attitude towards education, as it develops their complete personality with self-confidence & self-esteem.
