The early years of a child’s life are the most crucial, as the brain undergoes rapid development. To utilize this golden period of growth, our Early Years Program (EYP) has been thoughtfully designed for Bal Vatika (as per CBSE’s new pattern) , Pre-Nursery, Nursery, K1, K2, Grade I and Grade II. Under the CBSE Bal Vatika framework , we focus on preparing children for formal schooling through structured yet joyful learning experiences. Bal Vatika emphasizes overall growth—communication, social bonding, emotional development, creativity, and cognitive skills—so that each child transitions smoothly and confidently into the next stages of education. Our EYP curriculum blends the best practices from Montessori, Play-way theory and multi-sensory learning. This combination makes the classroom environment vibrant, engaging, and full of discovery. Children are encouraged to ask questions, think independently, and learn through hands-on experiences. Special Features of EYP:
Bal Vatika (CBSE Pattern): School readiness through joyful learning Sound Crackers Phonics Books: Creative approach to reading & fluency
Hands-on Numeracy: Practical learning through toys, kits & activities
Curiosity-Driven Classrooms: Nurturing independent thinking & exploration
Multi-Sensory Approach: Focusing on holistic child development

We believe that every child has immense potential waiting to be nurtured. Through the right guidance and environment, our EYP ensures that this early stage becomes the strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Our teaching methodology is a combination of international teaching methods and basic concepts of traditional values. Each classroom has its own learning culture encouraging creative and application-based learning.
The Transition period from EYP to Primary is very challenging for a child. To ease this process we have included Grades I & II in Early Years Program, where a child can make use of his EYP skills in Primary classes. This ensures each student in Early Year Program instills a habit of learning the basic concepts of each subject.
Young minds are easily impressionable which is why we intend to make them comfortable in stepping out of their comfort zones to learn and prosper.
