Education Program

The Smiley batch at Parichay is our beginner group, designed for children aged 3 to 5 years. Rather than relying on traditional teaching methods, we engage them in various activities using modern approaches like the phoenix method, making learning both effective and enjoyable.

SMILEY

The Twinkles level marks the next step in our learning journey, where children advance after achieving basic literacy and numeracy skills. At this level, they continue to build foundational knowledge and skills:

• English: Spell three-letter words and read short sentences using sight words.

• Hindi: Write simple two- and three-letter words without matras.

• Math: Recognise numbers up to 100, understand place values, and learn concepts like greater than/less than, ascending/descending order, and basic addition and subtraction.

In addition to academics, Twinkles students engage in art, craft, yoga, storytelling, and Masti ki Paathshaala, fostering a joyful learning environment. Our children’s enthusiasm and curiosity make every session meaningful and fun across all centers.
