The Importance of Early Childhood Education: Setting the Foundation

The first five years of a child’s life are magical, full of curiosity, questions, wonder and discovery. It’s during these years that the brain grows the fastest, emotional patterns take shape, and foundational habits are formed. At The Vivekananda School, we understand that early childhood education is not just preparation for primary school, it's preparation for life.

Why Early Childhood Education Matters

Early childhood education lays the groundwork for a child’s lifelong learning, behaviour, and wellbeing. Research shows that children who receive high-quality early education are more confident, creative, and emotionally secure, all traits that lead to stronger academic and social outcomes later on.

As one of the top pre nursery schools in Gurugram, at The Vivekananda School, we nurture these early years through a thoughtful balance of structure and freedom, combining global practices with cultural wisdom.

Learning Through Play: Our Approach

Children learn best when they play, that’s why our pre-nursery and kindergarten classes are full of storytelling, puppet shows, dance, music and free art. Every activity at our preschool is purposefully designed to:

• Encourage imagination and expression

• Build early literacy and numeracy skills

• Support emotional development

• Develop motor coordination and confidence

From role play and drama to outdoor gardening in our Vivekian Organic Garden, every moment at our preschool is a learning opportunity disguised as joy.

Building Strong Foundations

Recognized as one of the very few top preschools in Gurgaon with the best early childhood curriculum, our early years curriculum includes:

• Jolly Phonics (UK-based) for clear pronunciation

• Age-appropriate recognition of letters, numbers, shapes and colours

• Hands-on learning through Montessori activities like planting, painting, being helping hands etc.

• Development of fine and gross motor skills

• Early concepts of time, space, sharing and emotional expression

All of this happens in an environment that is nurturing, safe, and full of energy.

Mindfulness

Inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s teachings, we integrate cultural grounding into our daily routine. Our children practice:

• Basic yoga and breathing exercises

• Quiet time for reflection and stories

• Movement-based learning for better focus, at our school, we believe in making every experience meaningful and every child is celebrated. For example, on Yoga Day, our little ones practiced yoga through animal poses while simultaneously speaking related sentences and animal names using phonics.

It’s not just about what they learn, it's about how they feel while learning.
