Looking ahead, Interactive Preschool is expanding with the launch of Interactive World School, a CBSE-affiliated institution, alongside another CBSE school in a tier-two city. The upcoming residential campus will have a unique focus on sports, prioritizing athletic development alongside academics.

“Preschool education should prioritize value-based learning and cultural understanding, making values an integral part of the curriculum. Equally important is focusing on life skills, which form the foundation of a child’s overall development. Parents must actively adopt this approach at home, with orientation programs guiding them. These programs help parents focus on nurturing their child’s character and skills, rather than solely academic achievements. Life skills, coupled with a strong value culture, are fundamental in early childhood development”, concludes Vinay Hegde, Basavaraj Savakar and Mamata Hegde.
