We at SPM are following the guidelines mentioned in NEP to develop skills at foundational stage. Each skill plays a pivotal role in the overall development of the child.
The pre-primary syllabus is designed to foster holistic development in young children, incorporating the principles of Panchakosh (five sheaths of human consciousness) and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This integrated approach aims to nurture children’s physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual growth.
