Play school (or playgroup) is the earliest stage, usually starting around age 2, and focuses on play-based social and emotional development rather than formal lessons. Nursery follows next, introducing early literacy and numeracy through structured play. Kindergarten (LKG and UKG) builds on this with more structured pre-academic learning to prepare children for Grade 1. Day care, unlike these three stages, is primarily supervised care for working parents and isn’t tied to a specific curriculum stage. At Sanctus World School, Kokapet, our Play School to Grade 2 programme moves children through each of these stages under one consistent, Finland-inspired approach, so you don’t need to change schools as your child grows.

Most preschools in Hyderabad, including Kokapet, accept children into Play School from around 2 years old, with Nursery admission typically requiring a minimum age of 3 years by June 1st of the academic year. Readiness matters as much as the exact date on the calendar — look for early signs of social comfort, basic independence, and curiosity about new environments. Our admissions team at Sanctus World School, Kokapet can help confirm the right entry point and grade for your child for the 2026-27 academic year.

Admissions for 2026-27 are open now for Play School through Grade 2 at our Kokapet campus. The process starts with an enquiry and campus visit, followed by document submission and seat confirmation, subject to availability, since we maintain a low student-teacher ratio across every batch. Reach out to our admissions office to begin.

You’ll typically need your child’s birth certificate, recent passport-size photographs, proof of residence, and Aadhaar card. If your child is transferring from another play school or nursery, previous school records may also be required. Our admissions team will confirm the exact checklist for your child’s grade when you enquire.

Sanctus World School, Kokapet follows a CBSE-aligned curriculum from the early years, blended with our Finland-inspired FGES approach. At the Kokapet campus, we currently offer Play School through Grade 2, with the school expanding by a grade each year.

Finland’s early-education approach is built around play-based, child-led learning, individualised attention, minimal formal testing in the early years, and a strong focus on well-being alongside academics — principles that have made Finland’s education system one of the most respected in the world. At Sanctus World School, Kokapet, our Finnish Global Education Solutions (FGES) partnership brings these principles into a CBSE-aligned classroom, giving your child globally-benchmarked early learning without losing the structure needed for a smooth transition into formal CBSE academics from Grade 1.

Most schools in Kokapet lean either purely play-based or strictly academic. Sanctus is built to be both: our Finland-inspired FGES approach brings joyful, play-based early learning into a CBSE-aligned foundation from Play School itself, so your child doesn’t have to switch schools when formal academics begin from Grade 1. It’s part of why more families searching for the best preschool in Kokapet are finding their way to Sanctus.
