Exploring the Foundations of Kindergarten Education

KG Curriculam

The KG curriculum is skill-based and aims to develop the student’s creative and critical thinking abilities. The KG curriculum is a medium to provide education with a global perspective. The School is well-planned, managed, and worked upon. The KG curriculum focuses on using extraordinary learning and teaching approaches. The CBSE curriculum for nursery classes revolves around knowing themselves, the environment, and their body. The initial years of learning play a huge role in a student’s life.
