PRE-PRIMARY
NURSERY
LKG & UKG
The pre-primary wing of the school comprises classes of nursery and prep and caters to the needs
and demands of early childhood learning.
Bearing in mind that at this age the foundation of a child's
personality is laid and two-third of his intellect is formed, we have created an environment and a
system of teaching which is entirely child-friendly.
The classes are housed in Block which is their exclusive domain and it is here that they learn social skills,
free-play, develop the verbal ability and imbibe the skills and joy of creating things with
their own hands through art and crafts which is an integral part of the curriculum.
