Globally there is a revolution in science with digitalisation and artificial intelligence. A country's investment in education is crucial to manage the knowledge economy. Early childhood education is the foundation for future academic success and life skills. India's third National Educational Policy emphasises on improving the quality of early learning. This curriculum aligns with the basic theories and stages of early child development, which if effectively implemented leads to holistic development and learning.
