The early years, chapter by chapter

A plain-language guide to how young children learn in each stage. The school will confirm which classes it offers and its own curriculum.

Contents

  1. Pre-nursery and playgroupOften about 2 to 3 years
  2. NurseryOften about 3 to 4 years
  3. Kindergarten (LKG and UKG)Often about 4 to 6 years

Ages are a general guide used by many schools in Indore, not this school’s rule.

How little children learn

In the early years, children learn best by doing: playing, talking, singing, building, drawing and moving. Good early-years teaching turns these into small daily habits, so that reading, writing and numbers grow from something children already enjoy.

Parents can ask any school about how much time goes to play and to the outdoors, how many children are in a class, and how the teachers tell parents about progress.

Curriculum and board

The school’s own curriculum, books and board (if any).
