MID-TERM EXAMS IN OUR PRE-SCHOOL In our preschool, the idea of 'mid-term exams' is not about formal testing but rather about assessing developmental milestones through observation, playful activities, and age-appropriate tasks. Our Preschool (Nursery, LKG, UKG) focuses on holistic development, not academic pressure. 🎯 Purpose of Mid-Term Assessments in our Preschool To observe progress in cognitive, motor, language, and social-emotional development To identify learning needs or delays early To communicate progress with parents through reports To plan teaching for the next term based on children's current levels 📚 What Is Assessed During Mid-Term in our Preschool?
