FlintoClass combines scripted, easy to implement, lesson plans for teachers (including online teacher training and classroom resources) with play-based, exploratory activities for young children that develop motor skills, memory, creativity, social skills, language skills, and emotional skills. We love the focus on learning through play, which is a child's most natural way to learn, and fosters creativity, curiosity, and imagination.

This integrated curriculum (inspired by Germany's Waldorf Education system, the Montessori method, and the Playway method) is child centric and imparts a love of learning through arts and crafts, music, stories, games, and hands-on explorations. The monthly boxes provide 20 days of activities for preschool teachers, all conveniently packaged for each child with corresponding teacher manuals and resources. The approach saves teachers a ton of time - no more cutting, pasting and preparing - and allows teachers to focus more on providing individualized and differentiated instruction.

A typical FlintoClass day involves an arrival activity focused on unstructured exploration of activity areas followed by an energizer activity, which are ice breakers of sorts designed to get the kids, moving, talking/singing, and socializing. Next comes an interactive activity where students learn and repeat rhymes, listen to a story and imitate the characters (we received a story about body science), or join in a group free play activity. After a snack break, which also involves the kids preparing and serving, the curriculum jumps to an explore activity that involves sensory, hands-on invesigations into the natural world. The final activity of the day focuses on solving puzzles and logic games in small groups. Each day students usually take home a completed project to show their parents.

FlintoClass simplifies the process of running a preschool without compromising on quality. The clever approach works for both aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start their own affordable preschool and also works as a supplement within existing preschools. The program started in India and is now available in Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar, UAE, Laos, Indonesia, and Kuwait. We hope that it will soon be availble in the United States.
