Foundational Stage (ages 3–8)

Preprimary And Primary Education that builds confident, future-ready learners

India’s policy now treats ages three to eight as one continuous Foundational Stage that blends three years of pre‑primary with two years of primary school — prioritising play, conversation, stories, music, movement, and rich experiences as the path to early literacy and numeracy.

What Preprimary And Primary Education mean today

Align nursery, LKG, UKG, and Classes 1–2 under one vision — not separate tracks. Simple routines, purposeful centres, and rich talk time drive measurable gains in reading, writing, and number sense.

Play‑based pedagogy

Use a curriculum that honours developmentally appropriate, play‑based pedagogy.

Smoother transitions

Plan a short Class 1 readiness module for confident moves into Primary Years.

Outcomes that matter

Joyful learning, language‑rich classrooms, and concept‑first maths with inclusion and local context.

Student voice

Children talk, question, and explain their thinking.

Expert modelling

Teachers model language and scaffold tasks.

Everyday exploration

Materials invite hands‑on exploration every day.
