Our Pre-Toddler programme focuses on building a strong sense of security, belonging, and trust, which are essential for early learning. Through sensory exploration, movement, music, and responsive interactions, children begin to make sense of the world around them. Learning is child-led and experiential, supporting early communication, motor development, and social awareness. Children develop confidence, curiosity, and comfort in a school environment.

In the ever-evolving landscape of pre-primary education, Pathways Early Years Golf Course Road stands out as a beacon of excellence. Our core mission revolves around laying a strong educational foundation for children, preparing them for a lifetime of learning. As one of the best international preschools in Gurgaon, we employ experiential learning methods designed to provide young minds with a bright beginning for their educational journey. The learning programme at our pre-nursery school nurtures children's inherent curiosity, supporting them in their journey to become imaginative thinkers, adept problem solvers, and confident communicators. Our dynamic and contemporary curriculum draws from our extensive experience with the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and is inspired by Reggio Emilia, Playway, and Maria Montessori. As a leading play school in Gurgaon, we provide a holistic programme that integrates age-appropriate hands-on activities into the daily routine to develop gross and fine motor coordination. Our nursery school’s small size allows us to provide personalised care and warmth, thereby building a robust foundation rooted in love and security. The Pathways Early Years programme supports children's academic, social, and emotional well-being and empowers the young learners with the confidence they need to navigate life's journey. We celebrate the individuality of each child and inspire them to become curious explorers brimming with potential. As a premier nursery and kindergarten school in Gurgaon, we encourage exploration and motivate children to dream, create, and uncover the wonders of the world around them.
