It addresses playful and joyful learning for children in the age group of 3 to 6 years. These preschools function completely in sync with the guidelines of NEP 2020 and NCF at three grade levels i.e. Nursery, LKG and UKG. Our vision is to inspire every child, especially in rural India, for overall growth through safe and inclusive technology-enabled playful Early Childhood Care and Education,” Sheetal said.
