INTRODUCTION
The Learning Program at MPK is based on the development of skills across the main domains of Early Childhood Development. L S R W - forms the framework for our pedagogy - Listen Speak Read and finally Write. Hence there is no writing in Nursery class. It comprises Language, Numeracy, Story Telling, and Montessori sessions. The Joy Quotient (JQ) is the common thread that is part of all our teaching pedagogy.
Play Group
As per research, the earlier the exposure of the child to a rich learning experience the greater the development of the skills. The transformation of the child from a little toddler crying in the first month to a confident happy child at the end of the academic year fills us with pride .The development of skills and the pace of development of skills is truly phenomenal in this group.
