Agastya Early Years Programme
Pre-Nursery | Nursery | Kindergarten
The early years of a child’s life are the most critical for brain development and the foundation of lifelong learning. At Agastya International School, our Early Years Programme is thoughtfully designed to support the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of every child through curiosity, play, and discovery in a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment.
🌱 A Holistic & Innovative Foundation
Drawing inspiration from globally acclaimed frameworks such as the IB Early Years, Maria Montessori, Play-Way Method, and Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory, our curriculum blends the best practices in early childhood education. We aim to nurture each child’s limitless potential while instilling infinite values that will guide them through life.
✋ Hands-On Learning Through Play
Our Early Years Programme features:
Activities tailored to enhance gross and fine motor skills
Age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences
Structured and unstructured play that sparks creativity and builds confidence
Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and express through:
Rhymes, storytelling, role play
Drawing, painting, dance, music, and craft
Games and group activities that promote social skills and cooperation
📚 Building Literacy, Numeracy & Communication
Through interactive sessions such as:
Phonics programmes
Show & Tell
Circle time
Story-based learning
Children gain confidence in speaking, listening, and early reading and writing. Exposure to a language-rich environment ensures foundational development in literacy and numeracy, while encouraging children to express ideas clearly and confidently.
🏃 Physical Development & Real-World Learning
Physical growth and health are supported through:
Sports and movement-based activities
Coordinated games that enhance balance and motor skills
We also extend learning beyond the classroom with:
Field trips and nature walks
Picnics and community visits
These experiences help children explore and understand the world around them — people, places, nature, and technology.
🌏 Cultural Awareness & Celebration
Celebrating a variety of festivals and traditions fosters empathy, inclusivity, and cultural awareness. Children learn to appreciate diversity and build respectful relationships from a young age.
❤️ Child-Led Learning, Teacher-Guided Growth
At Agastya, we believe that every child learns best when their interests guide the learning process. Our early years educators act as facilitators, observing, guiding, and creating stimulating, engaging environments where children feel free to wonder, explore, and thrive.
The Agastya Early Years Programme is not just about preparing for school — it’s about preparing for life. By nurturing the whole child and making learning joyful, we lay the foundation for confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.
