Kindergarten at B.D. Somani

Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten are exciting years at B.D. Somani. In these grades, our students focus on inquiry and curiosity, and build their essential motor, social, emotional, and linguistic foundations. Their days are structured in a way that gives them ample time to explore different kinds and methods of learning – including Block Building, Story Time, Number Time and so on. Students are also introduced to gardening, cooking and field trips to locations of interest. In Junior K and K, students develop self-confidence, sharpen their thinking abilities and equip themselves with the skills they need to thrive in Primary School.
