The Early Primary Curriculum endorses the focus of National Education Policy (NEP) on foundational literacy of formative years and aims at enriching a joyous vibrant space for our children to enquire, explore and discover their surroundings through various experiential play-way activities. Our team of dynamic and highly committed teachers strives to foster innate curiosity in children through concrete hands-on experiences which occur in contexts that take the shape of 'Themes'.

Learning is enriched with a number of activities such as drama, storytelling, poetry, dance, music, IT modules, discussions and a wide range of creative hands-on activities.
