The Pre-primary Programme nurtures curiosity, exploration and innovation in children while maintaining a safe and happy learning environment. An individualized approach towards teaching helps in inculcating a love of learning, enhancing social skills, and instilling moral values. The primary focus of the programme is on building the students’ self-confidence and enhancing their ability to communicate effectively in English as well as in their mother tongues. Teachers maintain this approach by effective use of language and by encouraging children to express themselves freely.

The curriculum has adopted a variety of individual as well as group activities which facilitate a dynamic and positive learning atmosphere. Games, songs, craft projects, story-telling, role-playing, recitation, drawing and painting develop children's fundamental skills in literacy, numeracy, arts and phonetics. They are encouraged to innovate, explore and discover through dance, music, art and craft. The use of pictures, models and symbols helps them identify relationships between sets and arrangements that are to be sorted, counted, shared or represented.

Sports and games help in strengthening coordination and motor skills, and instill a spirit of team-work and sportsmanship in the young learners. Picnics and field trips nurture students' understanding of the environment. Celebration of festivals sensitizes them to the diverse cultures and traditions in the country.
