Pre-Primary:
The Pre-Primary works with the ethos of expounding an enchanting world of fun and frolic for the students and lays the unfathomable base for an eternal learning process of life skills and learning.
A kaleidoscopic range of activities like drawing, colouring, cutting, tearing, pasting, clay work, music and singing, dance and story-telling are introduced to hone the hidden talents of the students through the play-way method using KPL Kits and Jodo Gyan to enhance their fine and gross motor skills.
Underlying every learning topic is a concept-base which encourages children to see the connections between different subject areas. We believe that storytelling, plays, learning musical instruments, dance and drama are as important for learning as science, mathematics and social science. In the week’s timetable, therefore, each area finds a place for itself.
The naturally curious minds are exposed to conditions that can evoke freedom of thought and expression. In pursuit of the same, there are Emotional, Numeracy, Reading and experiment Corners to enhance their learning experience. Language development, concept formation, socio- emotional skills along with fine and gross motor development happen simultaneously through exploration.
Language development happens in pre-primary children by making them listen to various phonetic sounds using Jolly Phonics, letters, songs and music. Mentors at this stage continuously speak and interact with the children through speech, gestures and actions.
Pre-Primary kids have immense energy as they grow up very fast. They are given ample opportunities to run, play, jump, climb, hop and crawl which eventually develops the bigger muscles in the body especially the limbs. Suitable toys and apparatus are provided in the activity areas which help the children to build muscle control, balance and dexterity.

Each year, as they begin their journey to primary classes from standard I to V, they are introduced to a new curriculum in order to provide them with advanced learning. This phase serves as an intermediate phase between the conceptual learning stages to the career building stage.
