What kindergarten at EKIS is
For most families, EKIS begins here: a first school bag, a first classroom, and a parent hoping they have chosen well. Our kindergarten is built around how young children actually learn — through play, story, rhythm and warmth.
Rooms are made for small bodies and big curiosity, and days follow a steady, reassuring pattern. Early literacy and numeracy grow out of play here, guided by the national foundational-stage framework — never forced ahead of it.
The kindergarten experience
- Play-based learning aligned to the national foundational-stage framework (NEP 2020)
- English-medium learning with a warm place for Malayalam and Arabic — how each language sits in the timetable is confirmed at admission
- Character woven into the day — sharing, kindness, care — held warmly, never sternly
- Early Years spaces: reading corners, activity zones and safe outdoor play
- Trained early-years educators — the working ratio for each class is confirmed with you at admission
- A gentle start protocol for first-time schoolgoers and their parents
Entry criteria and admission steps for KG1 and KG2 are on the admissions pages.

Kindergarten questions
When can my child join KG1?
KG1 is the first year of the Early Years programme. EKIS publishes its exact entry criteria with the admission process, so families plan from confirmed information rather than an estimate.
Is the kindergarten co-educational?
Yes. EKIS is co-educational throughout — boys and girls learn together from KG1.
How do you settle a child who has never been to school?
Gently. Short early days, a consistent educator, and honest communication with you about how it is going. Settling a child into their first classroom is a craft, and we treat it as one.
