Play group is the most exciting yet important phase of your child. The children for the first time come out of the comfort of their parents and start to interact with the environment. During the Play Group we ensure that a child develops affection towards the school, make new friends, understand student- teacher relationship and most importantly know that their is a world outside their home. During Playgroup no formal learning process starts in while the learning happens through themes and play activities. We focus a lot on improving the gross muscle development during this age through Montessori mode.
