The pre nursery schools in Bangalore operated by the Narayana Group are built on the same principles that have served as the Group's foundation since it was formed. The Narayana e-Kidz programme is a unique pre school initiative developed with the hope to provide students quality education and the access to myriad activities intended to establish and enhance varied developmental skills in the students enrolled in the programme.
The curriculum devised for the e-Kidz programme, offered at Montessori schools in Bangalore, focuses on the holistic growth and evolution of a child. With the help of a modern combination of traditional classroom teaching, extra-curricular activities, digital tools, etc., it endeavours to achieve the following objectives:

- Augment both education and development by the means of fun activities and games
