The Early Years Program (EYP) at Orchids caters to learners [2-3 years before primary school] from Pre-Nursery to Grade II, and embraces a child's holistic development, with the understanding that this is the most important phase of a child's learning. At such an early age, a child's brain is developing rapidly, so our program spans their Early Years to build a solid platform for the future.
EYP enables children to learn through a mixture of the researching teaching methods from around the world like Montessori and Play-way, and our hands-on, and multi-sensory learning approach, as well as exploration and thinking skills, develops each child's curiosity, creativity and independence are fostered.
The classroom teaching has an emphasis on joyful learning through phonics based reading, numeracy using activity based techniques, and when teaching a story, we use the whole classroom to maximise the opportunity for engaging and interactive storytelling. In addition to Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Prep, we also include Grades I and II in the EYP so our children experience smooth transition into their primary education.
Through the broad spectrum of teaching and other learning opportunities, we aim to develop confident learners who are 'school-ready' , whilst providing children a strong foundation and solid basics in relevant areas of language, number, and life skills.

Our teaching methodology is a combination of international teaching methods and time-tested traditional values. Each classroom has its own learning culture where creative and application-based learning induces the excitement of discovery.
The Transition period from EYP to Primary is very challenging for a child. To ease this process in pre-primary teaching we have included Grades I & II in the Early Years Program, where a child can make use of his EYP skills in Primary classes. This ensures each student in the Early Year Program instils a habit of learning the basic concepts of each subject.
As one of the best pre-primary schools in India, we believe that young minds are easily impressionable which is why we intend to make them comfortable in stepping out of their comfort zones to learn and prosper.
