Just as each finger bears a unique fingerprint, Kai Early Years celebrates the individuality of each child, nurturing them within a supportive and inclusive community. This commitment to unity and support is encapsulated in the Latin word "kaio," meaning "happy." The school's name serves as a testament to the joyous and fulfilling educational journey it offers.

This carefully designed environment caters to the distinct developmental needs of young children, offering a safe haven for exploration, play, and learning.

Additional Information
Details 1

Kai Early Years is an IB World School. We are proud to be India’s first stand-alone accredited and authorized IB – PYP Preschool. The early childhood period – from birth to Age 8 – represents a significant developmental period during which rapid and significant cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional competencies are established. Learning in the early childhood period occurs in the context of relationships within and between numerous systems (including a child’s home, childcare setting, preschool, and the interactions among them). Thus, supporting a child’s early learning is the shared responsibility of adults in these systems, and is enhanced through coordinated and cooperative home-school connections.”
