Schooling commences with the first two years of Kindergarten. At this stage, the child is initiated into schooling through fun- filled activities and child-oriented methods of learning resulting in the development of basic cognitive and motor skills. While the emphasis is laid on gently preparing the child for literacy and numerals, phonic methods and well-graded writing patterns follow a comprehensive foundation-building programmer. Multimedia, Puppet Theatre, Music, Games, Story sessions, Art & Craft, etc. provide hours of learning through exploration, experimentation, and fun. The transition from home to school is made smoother by a team of qualified, competent, and caring teachers in an environment that is healthy, happy, and secure.
