Early Years Curriculum
Kindergarten – Learning Through Play
Welcome to Our Early Years Programme
At The International School Agra (TISA), we believe that the early years form the foundation of a child’s lifelong love for learning. Our Kindergarten curriculum is carefully designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence through play-based, child-centered learning.
Every child is unique, and our approach ensures that they develop at their own pace in a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment. We emphasize exploration, imagination, and hands-on experiences, helping our little learners grow into happy, confident, and curious individuals.
