Nurturing Curiosity, Character, and Joyful Learning

Welcome to the Preschool division of Mahatma Gandhi School, where every child’s journey begins with wonder, care, and purpose. Our early years program is designed to foster foundational skills, emotional growth, and a love for learning in a safe, inclusive environment.

“At Mahatma Gandhi School, we believe every child’s early years should be filled with joy, discovery, and meaningful connection. Our Preschool division – Playgroup, K1, and K2 is a place where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. We partner closely with families to nurture each child’s unique potential, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and character development.” – Ms. Edith, Head of Preschool
