It’s an exciting transition as young learners blend the playing, singing, and craft-making from preschool with more writing, reading, and math lessons. Kindergarteners get used to school routines, practice working together in groups to build teamwork and sharing skills — and learn how to be successful students for years to come.

The Kindergarten Programme @ Gurukulam inculcates in children the qualities of curiosity, exploration and discovery in a fun-filled, safe and happy learning environment. An individualized approach helps nurture a love for learning, development of social skills, and instills moral values in the children which in turn build personality in children. The emphasis is on developing self-confidence and the ability to effectively communicate in English as well as in their mother tongue, teachers ensure this through effective use of language and by encouraging children to express themselves freely.

The principles of learning applied in Kindergarten include Holistic Development and Learning (Aesthetics and Creative Expression, Language and Literacy, Numeracy, Self and Social Awareness); integrated Learning; Active Learning; Supportive Learning; interactive Learning and Learning through Play.
