The ZERO Curriculum. Playgroup / Pre-Nursery, ages two and a half to three and a half. A complete day-by-day curriculum: ten themes across three terms, 150 teaching days, each written as a standalone plan a parent or a first-year teacher can run cold.
Aligned to NCF-FS 2022, NIPUN Bharat (FLN) targets, and the panchakosha model. The academics are emergent only: no phonics and no sums, just naming, talking, sorting, one and many, big and small. Settling and play carry the most weight.

Most preschool curricula are
repackaged worksheets.
Yours does not have to be. Opening a preschool from scratch, fixing one that has stopped growing, or teaching your own child at home, the hard part is the same. Someone has to decide what gets taught, in what order, and why. I built The ZERO Curriculum, India’s first modular ECCE curriculum, after 23 years inside classrooms, teacher-training rooms, and policy fights. I sit with you and build the thing that actually works for your setup.
- Starting a new preschool. Curriculum, daily structure, and a hiring brief for teachers, before you take a single admission.
- Upgrading one that has plateaued. We find what is actually dragging it down and fix that, not everything at once.
- Homeschooling. A real scope and sequence for your child, not a pile of printouts off the internet.
