Nagpur, 22nd September 2025: Mother’s Pet Kindergarten (MPK), Central India’s pioneering preschool brand with a legacy of 47 years, has announced the commencement of admissions for the academic year 2026–27. Enrolments are open across all branches – Sadar Chhoni, Wardhaman Nagar, Khamla Square, and Amravati Road Bypass - for Playschool, Nursery, Jr. KG, and Sr. KG.

At Mother’s Pet Kindergarten it is believed that the early years are the defining years - the most formative stage that shapes how a child will think, learn, and flourish in the future. Guided by this philosophy, the 2026–27 academic year also marks the launch of Curriculum 2.0, a next-generation programme designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Rooted in play-based learning, the curriculum blends global best practices with child-centred approaches, drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, Montessori, and Design Thinking principles.

Highlights of the New Curriculum

• Play as the Core of Learning: Guided and open-ended play is integrated into every part of the day, helping children develop problem-solving mindset, empathy, resilience, and creativity.

Speaking on the launch of the new curriculum and admissions, Ms. Kalpana Dhareshwar, Director Principal of Mother’s Pet Kindergarten, said: “At Mother’s Pet Kindergarten, we believe that play is not a break from learning—it is learning. The early years are the defining years, shaping how children think, explore, and grow. Our refreshed curriculum blends global best practices with child-centered approaches to create a joyful, engaging, and meaningful start to education. As we open admissions for the new academic year, our mission remains to nurture curiosity, build confidence, and instill a lifelong love for learning in every child.”
