OUR PHILOSOPHY

Care, Confidence, Creativity, Culture leads to success

Care

We believe that the foundation of lifelong learning begins with genuine care. The care we take in creating a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment forms the heart of everything we do. It’s this consistent, thoughtful care that helps children feel secure, understood, and valued—laying the foundation for confidence to bloom.

Confidence

As children grow in confidence, they begin to express themselves freely, explore boldly, and think creatively. This confidence leads to creativity

Creativity

Creativity—the ability to imagine, problem-solve, and discover their own voice through play, curiosity, and connection.

Culture

Alongside this journey of growth, our children also learn the importance of empathy, respect, and togetherness. The cultural values they adopt—woven into daily experiences—help shape kind, mindful individuals who appreciate their roots while embracing the world around them.

A Place That Feels Like Home

We are more than a preschool—we are a community of passionate educators and caregivers. We nurture both hearts and minds, guiding children to grow into confident, creative, and compassionate individuals ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our Curriculum & EYFS Alignment

At UPWARD INTERNATIONAL PRESCHOOL, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework—one of the world’s most respected approaches to early childhood education. This globally recognized curriculum aligns seamlessly with the goals outlined in India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for every child. Our teaching approach blends elements from leading educational philosophies, focusing on play-based, hands-on, exploratory, discovery-driven, and sensory learning experiences that nurture curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.

The pillars of the EYFS framework are more than just guiding principles—they are fully embedded into every aspect of our curriculum. Each learning area is thoughtfully integrated into each activity, learning material and lesson plans that ensures meaningful and whole child development. We aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are not only academically ready but also emotionally balanced, socially aware, and full of curiosity and creativity — in perfect harmony with the EYFS philosophy.
