2. Social and Emotional Growth
Discussions, role-plays, games, storytelling and collaborative activities encourage empathy, cooperation, self-expression and social awareness.
3. Intellectual Growth
A structured, age-appropriate progression from concrete to abstract concepts builds strong problem-solving, logical thinking and cognitive skills.
4. Spiritual and Moral Development
Stories, rhymes and reflective discussions teach values such as kindness and honesty. Yoga and meditation help children stay calm, focused and happy.
The Sunrise curriculum is not merely a series of lessons, but a journey of discovery, growth and joy. The package comes with digital content, provided free of cost, to ensure a seamless and holistic learning experience for children.
