Preschool is designed to help children settle into school life and grow in confidence as they learn alongside others.
Curiosity
Early years at Nakano encourage curiosity — the same foundation named on our public academic pathway.
Early learning
Play Group, LKG and UKG form the first school stage, preparing children for Primary School from Grade 1.
