Pre-Primary & Kindergarten at Garudesh International School
A nurturing and vibrant early learning environment where young minds blossom through play, exploration, creativity, and joyful discovery. Our foundation stage program lays the cornerstone for lifelong learning, curiosity, and holistic development.
Our Early Years Philosophy
We believe the early years (ages 2.5–6) are the most formative period in a child's life. Inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and play-way methodologies, our program emphasizes learning through sensory exploration, hands-on activities, storytelling, music, movement, and nature-based discovery. Every child is treated as a unique, capable learner.
NEP-Aligned Foundation Curriculum
Our curriculum aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS). We follow a thematic, integrated approach covering 6 key learning domains with continuous developmental assessment and individualized attention for each child.

My daughter started Nursery at Garudesh International School and the transformation has been incredible. She wakes up excited for school, has learned so many rhymes, made little friends, and her confidence has soared. The teachers are so loving and caring!
The pre-primary wing at Garudesh International School is like a second home. The hygiene standards, the colorful classrooms, the caring didis, and the daily updates we receive give us complete peace of mind as working parents.
