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.

Come and Dance with Me

SDG

Art

Once, in a big forest, there was a giraffe who loved to dance. He tapped his feet and swayed his long neck. All the animals clapped.

TEACHER TIP

Ask the children to make the sounds of different animals, like an elephant trumpeting, a monkey chattering or a lion roaring.

A lion came along and roared, “Stop dancing, you’re too noisy!” But the giraffe did not even hear him!

Then, the giraffe opened one eye and said, “Come and dance with me. You never have fun.”

The lion tried a few steps, and all the animals cheered. He gave three steps left and three steps right, there steps left and three steps right.

Soon, all the animals—rabbits, birds and even turtles—joined the dance. The forest was a happy place.

Let's Talk 1. Which animals were there in the story? 2. What did the lion do when he saw the giraffe dancing? 3. What should we do to be kind to animals?

The Old Woman in a Vinegar Bottle

A grumpy old woman lived in a tiny little house. She grumbled loudly.

Humph, Humph, Fee. This is not good enough for me!

A fairy felt sorry for her. She waved her wand and suddenly the old woman was in a pretty cottage. The old woman was still not happy.

The birds are too noisy! Humph, Humph, Fee. This is not good enough for me! TEACHER TIP

Encourage children to say “thank you” for the little things they have, like their food, toys, family and friends.

The fairy tried again. She gave the old woman a beautiful house in a city. But, the old woman was still not happy.

There are too many cars here! Humph, Humph, Fee. This is not good enough for me!

So, the fairy gave her a castle in the forest. The old woman was still not happy.

How will I clean this big place? Humph, Humph, Fee. This does not work for me!

The fairy was tired of the old woman’s grumbling.

“Well, if you want something small to clean, I will put you in a vinegar bottle.”

So, that is how the woman had to live. Now, she only had a tiny bed, a little mat, an old stove and a grumpy cat! Let's Talk 1. Who helped the old woman in the story? 2. What happened when she was not happy with her house? 3. What do you feel thankful for?
