Bal Vatika refers to the primary section of a Kendriya Vidyalaya, which is the segment of the school that caters to younger students, usually up to the age of around 10 or 11 years old. In Bal Vatika, emphasis is placed on providing a nurturing environment for students to foster their intellectual, emotional, and social development.
This includes not only academic skills but also social, emotional, and physical development. The curriculum in Bal Vatika usually integrates various activities and methodologies that are age-appropriate and designed to engage young minds effectively. These activities may include storytelling, play-based learning, arts and crafts, music, physical education, and foundational academic subjects like mathematics, languages, and science taught in a child-friendly manner.
