Junior Kindergarten

There's nothing cuter than little kids coming to school wearing backpacks as big as they are. Kindergarten covers two years: Junior KG (4-year-olds) and Senior KG (5-year-olds).

They all carry a water bottle, an ID card on a lanyard, and the occasional child has a handkerchief pinned to their shirt.
The curriculum is quite academic. This is an "English Medium" school, so they start using English from Day One. Although the teachers do use Gujarati from time to time,

The classroom looks pretty much like a traditional kindergarten classroom, until you count the students. There will be about 50 students here when all have arrived. While fidgety (they are 4-year-olds, after all), the children are incredibly well-behaved,
Water bottles neatly set along the back wall in the classroom.
A teacher's lesson plans are amazing works of art in themselves.
