WPreface
elcome to DAWN, our comprehensive series for Early Childhood Education that has been meticulously crafted to align with the guidelines of the Foundational Stage as outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This series is designed to provide a holistic learning experience, fostering the comprehensive development of young learners in accordance with the developmental milestones and learning outcomes specified in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2022
DAWN offers a rich blend of interactive and activity-based content to nurture each child's physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Our approach ensures that learning is enjoyable and meaningful, catering to every child's interests and abilities. By integrating various domains of development, we aim to create an environment where children can thrive, explore their unique potentials and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. The curriculum is structured to promote Physical Development by incorporating activities that enhance motor skills, health, and overall physical well-being. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a critical component focusing on building empathy, cooperation, and strong interpersonal relationships. Through engaging and thought-provoking activities, children develop Intellectual Capacities, fostering critical thinking, problemsolving, and a curious mind.
In line with the NCF 2022, DAWN also emphasises Spiritual and Moral Development, encouraging children to understand and embody values such as honesty, integrity, and respect for others. We aim to instill a sense of responsibility towards the environment, promoting sustainable practices from an early age.
Our curriculum is not just a series of lessons but a journey of discovery, growth, and joy. We believe that every child is unique, and our tailored approach ensures that each learner can engage with the content in a way that resonates with their individual needs and interests. By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment, DAWN sets the foundation for future success, preparing children not just for school, but for life. The DAWN Level C Kit includes:
