Mrs. Kanchan Kumari provided detailed information about the early childhood education and developmental program, covering the social, emotional, and physical development of students, as well as the development of language, cognitive, and psycho-motor skills.

Assessment in nursery class

Mrs. Rinki Kumari shed light on the evaluation system in the nursery class, reiterating the importance of individual assessment without comparing children.
