Preface W elcome to Sunrise, our comprehensive series for Early Childhood Education, meticulously crafted to align with the guidelines of the Foundational Stage as outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) 2022.
Sunrise offers a rich blend of interactive and activity-based content to support each child’s physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth. Our approach ensures that learning is enjoyable and meaningful, and caters to every child’s interests and abilities.
Inspired by the Panchakosha Framework, Sunrise offers a thoughtfully curated curriculum designed to nurture each child’s physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth, and create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for all children and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. 1. Physical Development Through movement-based activities, action rhymes, gross and fine motor skill, exercises, yoga and simple meditation practices, children enhance their coordination, balance and self-regulation. 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. By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment, Sunrise lays the foundation for future success—preparing children not just for school, but for life. Thank you for embarking on this educational journey with us. Together, we can make the early childhood education a bright and promising start for every child.
