A strong foundation in childhood builds a sturdy future, We believe in hands-on learning which it helps the children to develop fine motor skills and hand and eye coordination, which allows the children to explore, discover, and learn through direct experience.
The term “foundational years” often refers to the early stages of a person’s life, typically from birth to around age eight. These years are considered crucial for development because they lay the groundwork for a child’s physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth.
During these years, children develop basic skills such as language, motor coordination, and social interactions. The experiences they have, the environment they grow up in, and the relationships they form can have long-lasting impacts on their future learning and behavior.
