Learning as a climb: four rows, one square at a time. This is the general picture of preschool in Indore, not the school's own programme.
Four rows to the top

Row 1
Playgroup
Children are usually about 2 to 3 years
First hours away from home. Children usually settle in through play: stacking, sorting, songs and a lot of reassurance.
- Settling in with a familiar routine
- Stacking, fitting and sorting
- Songs, rhymes and finger play
A general picture of this stage. Whether the school runs it, and from what age, is to be confirmed by the school.

Row 2

Hands get busy and words come quickly. Threading, clay and crayons build the small muscles and patience that writing needs later.

A general picture of this stage. Whether the school runs it, and from what age, is to be confirmed by the school.
