Programme Structure

The school offers a structured early childhood education programme divided into four key stages, each designed to suit the age and developmental needs of children.

Playgroup

The Playgroup programme introduces children to the school environment in a warm and welcoming manner. At this stage, the emphasis is on sensory exploration, social bonding, and basic motor skills. Children learn through play, interaction, and guided activities that help them feel secure and comfortable.

Nursery

In the Nursery level, children begin to develop verbal communication, early language skills, and number awareness. Activities are designed to enhance creativity, independence, and confidence while strengthening their ability to interact with peers and teachers.
We introduce foundational pre-writing skills right from the Nursery stage to build strong hand-eye coordination and fine motor control.

LKG (Lower Kindergarten)

The LKG programme focuses on building pre-reading and pre-writing skills, phonics, number recognition, and social development. Children are gradually introduced to structured learning while maintaining a fun and engaging environment.

UKG (Upper Kindergarten)

UKG prepares children for formal schooling by developing reading readiness, writing ability, and basic arithmetic skills. The programme also emphasizes problem-solving, logical thinking, and overall school readiness.
