Academic Milestones
To Achieve
01
1. Language development is a critical part of your child’s overall
development. It supports your child’s ability to communicate, and express
and understand feelings. It also supports thinking and problem-solving,
and developing and maintaining relationships. Learning to understand,
use and enjoy language is the critical first step in literacy, and the basis
for learning to read and write.
2. Physical Development : During the preschool years, there is a steady increase in children’s
height, weight, and muscle tone which affects the outward personality of
the child. Besides, promoting intake of healthy food, stakeholders should
encourage indoor as well as outdoor sports activities and play.

3.Cognitive Development :Early childhood / the initial 6 years of a child’s life are the most critical and life changing period including growth and development in physical,
mental and behavioural terms for children. This is the time span in which
a child can either develop positively or deplete his/her potential to
develop fully affected from the environmental issues negatively. This is
the reason that educators should not bound young children from exploring
their own world. However, monitoring is of utmost importance but child
should be given opportunities to develop their own thinking skills by
engaging in various activities.
4.Motor Development : Focus upon gross as well as fine motor skills through hand-eye coordination is a must for young learners. It also facilitates writing skills
in later stages. Colouring and cutting is a fun activity for such an age
group which also boosts these skills. Motor development is a major
determinant of cognitive skill development in children.

5.Numeracy Skill Development : Everything around us is mathematics and we imbibe early numeracy concepts including number recognition in children without abstraction.
Math is a subject which in later stages of life becomes a taboo or burden
over children because the roots are not strong enough. In other words,
Stakeholders should build a strong base of students in terms of pre-
numeracy concepts.
