Kathmandu - Varnamala Preschool, a pioneer in play-based early childhood education in Kirtipur, successfully concluded its Saraswoti Puja and Letter Beginning Day today, reaffirming its role in strengthening the foundation of formal education through holistic child development.
Situated at Kirtipur-1, Tyanglaphant, Varnamala Preschool has been working with children aged 2 to 6 years since its establishment in 2074 BS. The preschool focuses on Early Childhood Development (ECD) as a crucial stage for nurturing social, emotional, physical, linguistic, and verbal skills, recognizing that learning in early years goes far beyond academic readiness.
Run by experienced educational experts and led by Principal Mrs. Aakriti Dhungana, the institution emphasizes play-based learning as its core pedagogical approach. According to the school, structured play, guided exploration, and creative activities are central to helping children develop confidence, curiosity, and essential life skills at an early age.
Varnamala Preschool’s learning environment includes spacious indoor classrooms and well-designed indoor and outdoor playgrounds, offering children ample opportunities for movement, interaction, and imaginative play. The school’s philosophy is reflected in its slogan, जहाँबाट अक्षर होइन, जीवन सुरु हुन्छ... underscoring its belief that emotional security, social bonding, and experiential learning form the true foundation of education.
The preschool’s brand identity is symbolized through a distinctive theme in which a caterpillar enters Varnamala (the world of learning) and transforms into a beautiful butterfly. This metaphor represents the gradual, natural, and joyful growth of children as they progress through early learning experiences.
The Saraswoti Puja and Letter Beginning Day brought together parents, children, and educators in a celebratory and culturally meaningful setting, highlighting the institution’s commitment to blending traditional values with modern early education practices.
With its continued focus on holistic development, safe learning spaces, and child-centered pedagogy, Varnamala Preschool continues to play an important role in shaping the early learning landscape in Kirtipur and contributing to stronger educational foundations for future generations.
