Children at the preschool stage need to feel safe before they can learn. The Salunke Vihar branch is designed for emotional security as the foundation. Teachers spend the first two weeks with each new admission helping them settle, identifying their comfort triggers and building trust. Academic content begins only once the child is happy to come to school each morning.
Standardised Curriculum, Local Touch
Salunke Vihar follows the same Outcome-Based Activity Curriculum used at every Petals Kids branch. Local cultural touches are added through seasonal celebrations like Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Eid and Holi, all part of how children build a sense of identity and community.
