In a rapidly evolving world, the foundation of a child’s education must be both future-ready and deeply rooted in values. At Foster Kids Play School, we proudly align our philosophy and practices with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, ensuring that every child experiences a holistic, play-based, and purpose-driven early learning journey.
Why NEP 2020 Matters in Early Childhood Education
The National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes the importance of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), recognizing that the first 8 years of life (especially the first six years) are crucial for brain development and lifelong learning. It calls for:
- Play-based, activity-oriented learning
- Development of foundational literacy and numeracy
- Emphasis on multilingualism and local context
- Inclusion of life skills, values, and socio-emotional learning
At Foster Kids, these aren’t just checkboxes — they are the core of everything we do.
How Foster Kids Embodies the NEP 2020 Vision
- Learning Through Play
Our classrooms aren’t defined by desks and chalkboards, but by discovery zones, sensory corners, and imagination stations. Learning happens through songs, stories, games, art, movement, and hands-on exploration. This aligns directly with NEP’s focus on experiential and joyful learning.
- Foundational Literacy & Numeracy
We introduce children to the building blocks of language and numbers through fun and interactive methods. Our curriculum encourages early reading habits, logical thinking, and creative expression in a way that feels like play — never pressure.
- Multilingual Exposure
Language is not just a subject — it’s a tool for connection. At Foster Kids, we celebrate local languages and also expose children to English and Hindi through songs, rhymes, and simple conversations, preparing them for a multilingual world as recommended by the NEP.
- Life Skills and Emotional Intelligence
We place a strong emphasis on developing empathy, self-awareness, patience, cooperation, and decision-making from an early age. Activities like role play, group games, and daily routines help build character and confidence.
- Teacher as a Nurturer
Our facilitators are not just teachers — they are trained nurturers. Equipped with continuous professional development and an understanding of child psychology, they follow NEP-aligned pedagogy that respects each child’s pace and potential.
A Safe and Stimulating Environment
At Foster Kids, safety and comfort come first. Our classrooms are child-friendly, hygienic, and aesthetically designed to encourage curiosity and creativity. Every space is crafted to spark imagination and promote physical, social, and cognitive development.
Partnering with Parents
We believe that education is a partnership between the school and home. Regular updates, workshops, and parent-child activities ensure that families are actively involved in their child’s journey, just as the NEP recommends.
The Future Begins at Foster Kids
The NEP 2020 envisions an education system that contributes to an equitable, vibrant, and knowledge-based society. At Foster Kids Play School, we are proud to be part of that mission — nurturing young minds not just for school, but for life.
If you’re looking for a preschool that understands your child’s needs, respects their individuality, and prepares them for a joyful future, Foster Kids is the place to begin.
