The Sunshine Curriculum

In our preschool, theme-based lessons unwrap a wide range of learning—from early math to literacy, from exploring the arts to discovering more about themselves and the world around them. These lessons touch every aspect of a child’s growth—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. Along the way, children pick up important life skills like making decisions, sharing, taking turns, staying persistent, solving problems, being creative, and even caring for the environment through recycling. They join in celebrations, participate in Circle Time-structured group activities. These fun-time collaborative activities go a long way in inculcation of values, life-skills and 21st Century Skills. At the heart of our programme is Personal, Social, and Emotional Development, what we fondly call our ‘Sunshine Curriculum.’ This is why our children come to school with such joy. Inspired by global best practices and grounded in Indian values, our pre-primary programme helps shape balanced, confident, and happy young learners.
