The Pre-Primary School Program at Mount Litera Zee Schools comprises Nursery, Lower and Upper Kindergarten (LKG and UKG).

Early childhood education serves as the foundation for all future learning. It is the period of learning to learn. The MLZS pre-primary curriculum is delivered through the ILLUME pedagogy, which is based on the following assumptions.

• Every child is unique
• Every child has infinite potential
• Every child is born with an innate desire to learn
• Every child learns best through observation
• Every child learns and constructs his/her own knowledge in multiple ways

The ‘ILLLUME’ curriculum focuses on the developmental milestones in the areas of cognitive, linguistic, creative, social and physical development. This learning design leads a child to inquire and seek answers or to find answers on his/her own. Questions become the order of the day making, thinking and creativity to be the norm.

It seeks to give a complete experience to the child within the child’s range of experiences and understanding. This approach goes a long way towards shaping a wholesome healthy personality and gets the child prepared for the primary program.
