Play school
Nursery
The Notebook offers Pre-school program for the children who are between 18 months to 3 years. Playgroup is the seamless transition of a child into his first independent schooling experience sensitively separating from his/her primary caregiver. Our Playgroup curriculum is abundant in-play opportunities where children learn to freely explore, investigate and experience a wide range of sensory, creative and physical experiences while learning the value of focusing on a single task. The learning objectives ensure that children develop skills through activities that help them build early literacy skills and independence. To ensure that their learning experiences are relevant and reminiscent, we conduct special events and outdoor field trips which often act as an active catalyst for learning. Children also engage in a series of Co-curricular activities that lead to the overall development of the child.

Primary school years are the years of wonder where the child spends time exploring his world. These are the years when the child looks to the teacher with implicit trust, unconditional love and has unshakable faith in her word. To him, the teacher is the epitome of wisdom. To that child her word is law so much so that he says, “It is so because my teacher says so.”
