This primary education is very important as it helps build a strong foundation of education and makes children more comfortable for the primary education.

Lower Kindergarten contains the basic sessions of writing, playing, singing, painting, music etc. It is an important basic building block that prepares the kids for primary education. In some schools, the nursery class is not mandatory to get admission in LKG. They provide admission directly in LKG.
