With a mission to develop joyful, resilient and extraordinary learners, ODM Sapphire Global School has introduced Happy Feet, a highly-dedicated centre focused on the early education of toddlers. Nestled at Ashok Nagar - the heart of Ranchi city, Happy Feet is home to young and budding future talents who are being nurtured with a developmentally-appropriate elementary study program that includes language study, arts, indoor and outdoor experiences, lots of love, care, and more. A regular day at Happy Feet, the best pre-primary school in Ranchi, is filled with vibrant activities, fun and frolic. Nevertheless, all activities are directed towards the wholesome growth of the child. We take great care to inculcate social and emotional skills in children, hone their motor skills, and cultivate good habits in them. At Happy Feet, we also conduct special activities from time to time to explore our children's hidden talents.

Every child has the potential to excel, and at ODM, we harness this potential through CPX, a 360’ Learning Model. Rooted in Character development, we instil values like integrity, humility, and perseverance, nurturing compassionate and responsible individuals. This framework empowers students to identify their unique strengths, set clear goals, and create actionable plans, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Our holistic approach extends beyond academics, nurturing intellect, leadership, and well-being, enabling every child to excel confidently in all aspects of life.
For children, preschool is the first time they spend time away from their parents. Our warm and nurturing teachers are happy and ready to welcome children into a homely school environment.

Happy Feet's Toddler's Den comprises Pre-Nursery, K.G-1 & K.G-2. We use tested manipulative methods and technologies to teach children the necessary concepts and skills. Kids are housed in spacious, playful, colourful rooms and provided with separate activity rooms, play areas, and a toddler park. We also introduced a special curriculum to encourage learning outcomes that focus on nurturing children to develop holistically, morally, aesthetically, and globally while including knowledge acquisition and academic skills. Based on the Early Years of Foundation Stage [EYFS] curriculum and these learning outcomes are divided as following –
| SUBJECTS FOR NUR, K.G 1 & K.G-2 | CLASSROOM BASICS |
| Language and Literacy Skills | This starts with the earliest stages of literacy – Learning to link sounds and letters to a range of reading materials, including books, poems, and other materials. Literacy activities can include language and literature in pretty much any written format. This includes word and sound matching, matching words to images, or playing poetry games which help children naturally learn language skills and grammar rules. |
Instructions for learning focus on five areas:
|
|
| Early numeracy skills | This includes matching the written number to a picture with that quantity of any item. Alternatively, some games to help children learn how to order numbers and build a sequence. With most of these activities, the focus will be placed upon bringing conceptual mathematics into your child’s physical world while finding a way to make it fun. |
| Environmental Awareness | The earliest stages in this area are learning about things like cause and effect through all five senses – by asking questions like,” What will happen if I push this button?” or “What does a lemon taste like?”. As they grow and develop, children learn more about how different families and backgrounds create different people. At the highest levels, children develop an understanding of how one action affects the wider world around them through sequences such as traffic lights and engagement with technology. |
| Socio and Emotional Development | Initiates and maintains independence, involves expressing emotions, and training to become independent and developing a positive self-image. |
| Intellectual Development | Initiates and trains for the growth of a child’s ability to think and reason. |
| Physical & Motor Development | Training for Increased proficiency in gross motor skills. |
| Monthly Community Connections: The curriculum facilitates regular interactions with the community on special days and assemblies. | |

Most Loved Preschool of Ranchi
My name is Kabita Sahu. Both of my children are studying at ODM Happy Feet. The elder one is studying in standard - 3, and the younger one is on LKG. I must say that my children are receiving a great school environment and co-curricular facilities to grow with. As a parent, I really appreciate ODM teachers' efforts to provide quality education and mould my children towards the path which surely leads to happiness and success.
Our four-year-old has learned so much this past year at ODM Happy Feet. We are so grateful for the fabulous teachers and safe, caring environment of Happy Feet. During these times of so much uncertainty, it is invaluable to our family to have such a wonderful place to bring our precious one to while we are busy at work. Cannot recommend this preschool more highly!
We have been so happy with our experience at ODM Happy Feet, and the best part is that our little one loves it too! The staff are extremely caring, and there is great communication with them. We love the school updates that ODM shares on a daily basis! We also love that special meals are provided and there are special extracurricular options. We feel like there is a great balance of having fun and playing, but also great learning activities, and ODM Happy Feet is the perfect preschool for this.
I was recommended to ODM Happy Feet by a very close friend, and I must say it's the best advice I have ever received. His teachers have become family, he is loved and supported, he feels it, and as parents, that is the best thing we could ask for. The education he is receiving is the real added bonus.
