Playgroup Program (2–3 Years)
The First Step into a World of Wonder

Our Playgroup program at The Purple Tree Preschool, Shewalewadi, is specially designed for children aged 2 to 3 years, marking the beginning of their joyful learning journey in a warm, safe, and nurturing environment.

We follow a play-based, child-centric approach, inspired by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and NEP 2020, where learning happens naturally through exploration, movement, and meaningful interaction.

🌟 Learning Through Play:
At this stage, children learn best by doing — and our carefully planned daily routine supports their overall development through fun, hands-on activities such as:

🎶 Music & Rhymes – Enhancing listening, language, and rhythm

🎨 Creative Play – Scribbling, painting, and sensory art to build fine motor skills

🧩 Toys & Manipulatives – Puzzles, blocks, and stacking to encourage thinking and coordination

📖 Story Time – Short stories, picture books, and puppet play to spark imagination

🕺 Free Movement & Dance – Gross motor development through action songs and free play

🧘 Circle Time & Mindfulness Moments – Building routines and emotional security

👫 Social Interaction – Learning to share, take turns, and make first friendships

💜 A Gentle Beginning
At The Purple Tree, we follow the philosophy of “Follow the child to ignite one’s mind,” ensuring that each child is supported at their own pace, with love, patience, and joy. This gentle transition from home to school helps children feel secure, confident, and excited about learning.
