Every child has their own pace to understand, grow, and look at lessons around them. But in school, their learning is planned in stages. But every stage is built to match how children around them think, feel, and learn at all the stages of school education.
And when one understands these stages, they can easily support children better, be it the school or home. It also helps teachers on what to focus on and parents to stay involved in a meaningful way.
This is what Mittsure aims to do. It makes learning smoother and more joyful.
So let’s look into the different stages of school education and how it makes education better in India.
Children of Nursery, LKG, UKG, Class1 and 2 are the ones who learn best through play, movement, stories, music, and hands-on-activities. The early years are full of questions and energy. Just sitting down with worksheets and asking them to follow the curriculum doesn’t work. So what they need is colourful toys, picture books, puzzles, and other toys that help in talking and listening.
And NEP 2020 has made these years as part of the Foundational Stage. It includes Nursery, LKG, UKG, Class 1 and Class 2.
The primary focus for these years is on activity-based and play-based learning, not simply formal learning.
It’s not just feeding them the knowledge suggested in their curriculum but helping children:
- develop language and vocabulary.
- learn how to express themselves.
- build basic number sense.
- understand the world through touch and feel.
Our LumaLearn is designed in detail keeping this age group in mind. It brings the NCF’s vision to introduce joyful and hands-on learning to the classrooms so that young minds are shaped in a holistic way.
The LumaLearn curriculum includes:
- Play-based learning.
- Rhymes and songs.
- Activities that build life skills.
It keeps a child-first approach so that children fall in love with learning in their early stage itself.
Children in primary school, mainly the classes of 3-5, develop their brain enough to shift from learning through play to learning through understanding. Hence the focus shifts to teaching the, reading, writing, solving problems, so that they get to explore the details of all subjects and get to understand the basics in depth.
This stage should be able to build:
- Basic reading and writing skills
- Early math concepts like addition, subtraction, shapes, and patterns
- Awareness of family, community, plants, animals, and festivals
- Confidence in using language
But even though there is a drastic shift from play to understanding and their learning gets more structured, it still has to be fun and relatable. Schools cannot just focus on rote learning while ensuring that their basics get cleared. Kids at this age are still curious and if learnt through application instead of lecture, there are higher chances for them to grasp the concepts easily.
ThinkTrail is a great assistance for teachers and it helps them in primary classes by offering:
- 3D animated videos to explain tough topics in an easy way.
- Ready-to-use lesson plans
- Interactive questions and quizzes
- Engaging worksheets aligned with NCF suggestions
ThinkTrail is not just a detailed compilation of textbooks. It brings the concepts that are just in writing to a vision that kids can imagine, think, and explore, in their own way, and at their own pace.
By the time children enter class 6, they start to think more critically. They are able to connect ideas, ask deeper questions, and even enjoy group discussions or small team projects in the class. They get the capability to build habits and interests that can stick with them for a better future ahead.
And in the middle school stage, the subjects get more detailed. The curriculum becomes more specific like:
- Science begins to split into Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
- Math includes algebra, decimals, and data.
- Social Science becomes History, Geography, and Civics.
- English involves grammar, writing, and comprehension.
- Even coding, AI, and other skills can also be introduced.
ThinkTrail makes middle school learning smoother with:
- Step-by-step concept explanations
- Visual models and diagrams
- Subject-wise content aligned with the latest NCF
- Assessment tools for both teachers and students
It gives students the tools to learn independently and apply their learning to real-life situations.
The National Education Policy (NEP) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) has always focused on setting ideas that make learning more hands-on, experiential, less focused on marks and more on understanding, flexible, child-friendly, while also aligning it with the age-wise development. Instead of just setting the rigid levels or stages, they focus more on the way the young minds develop. Hence now they have created smooth transitions where -
- Nursery to Class 2 is the Foundational Stage
- Classes 3 to 5 are the Preparatory Stage
- Classes 6 to 8 form the Middle Stage
- Classes 9 to 12 are the Secondary Stage
Mittsure’s solutions are designed around this new structure so that children move confidently while strengthening their basics.
We do not just give schools, the planned content to teach,
we are supporting them with -
- LumaLearn provides books for Nursery to UKG. It is aligned with Jaadui Pitara, suggested by NCF, to make early stage education a play based initiative. This includes detailed manuals for teachers to focus more on learning than planning, and we also provide a digital sound learning, where kids can watch videos to learn the concepts detailed in the LumaLearn Books.
- ThinkTrail provides CBSE Class 1-8 books, which are syllabus aligned with interactive questions, lesson plans, teacher training, Teachlite as the lesson planner, and other classroom tools. It has 3D videos powered by Embibe and brings all the parent-friendly resources for a child to have a complete holistic understanding of the topics.
Mittsure is making it easier for schools to follow the NCF guidelines and for parents to trust this process.
Because education is not a race that has to be won, it is for students to grow to be thinkers, creators, and more.
And Mittsure is here to walk with schools, teachers, and families at every stage of this journey.
