Greenway Modern School has two classes in Nursery Wing :
Pre School
In pre school the children are introduced to formal curriculum and here they start with the deep foundation of education. Kids are taught different patterns like standing line, sleeping line, slanting line, forward curve and backward curve. These are all pre writing skills. Kids practice these patterns by doing rainbow writing on the patterns which makes the learning interesting and easy. For each pattern worksheets are provided, there are practice books specifically designed by the greenway faculty which helps in developing their fine motor skills and pre writing skills. This is the class where children learn how to read and write and the formation of alphabets. Phonic drill is done many times in a day which helps in developing their listening and speaking skills. Kids are taught to hold pencils correctly. Each alphabet is taught with the pattern and activity is done accordingly. Art and craft is done according to the curriculum provided emphasis is given on colouring and craft activity is done by the students with teacher’s help. To develop confidence in a child during the morning assembly they are called on stage and are asked to recite rhyme or to speak on a topic already taught. Children enjoy swings and slides during their games period. By the end of the session the kids are clear with the understanding, reading, writing and taking dictations. Now they are aware of capital alphabets A to Z, cursive (small) a to z, numbers 1 to 100 and swar and vyanjan.
Pre Primary
This is the most important class which drills all the basic reading and writing skills in a child. The kids learn how to form words in English and Hindi. Vowels are introduced to form words. Each vowel is taught with phonic sound and the difference between all the vowels and their sounds is taught.

Singular -plural, opposites, gender etc. In Hindi two, three and four letter words are introduced. Later matra’s are taught and slowly and gradually children start writing words and small sentences.
