Lower Kindergarten and Upper Kindergarten are the earliest years of formal education for a child. The team in LKG works collaboratively to ensure consistency throughout the grade level. LKG classes have incorporated music and physical education as specialist subjects, along with the activities happening in the classrooms throughout the day. At least once a week Periodically every little tot visits the sand pit area, library, playroom, and the outside play areas.

Students in LKG are introduced to new materials, concepts and situations in a meaningful, play-based way that is interactive and hands on. Being responsible and independent are some habits that are inculcated into the little minds by involving them in interactive activities and lessons – taking care of their lunch boxes or backpacks. The management ensures that the little kids learn meaningful literature by interacting with letters, sounds, and stories through reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing and presenting. These developmental skills are woven into an integrated and play based approach where children are valued and encouraged to evolve as creative, curious and confident learners.
