LKG – Lower Kindergarten (4–5 Years)

Laying Strong Foundations for Formal Learning

Our LKG program is thoughtfully designed for children aged 4 to 5 years, a crucial stage where early learning begins to take deeper root. At The Purple Tree Preschool, Shewalewadi, we nurture children’s natural curiosity while gradually introducing structured learning in a playful, engaging, and age-appropriate manner.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the NCF for Foundational Stage, our curriculum focuses on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), while continuing to encourage exploration and creativity.
