Motia Early
Childhood Program
Curriculum
Our Motia Early Childhood Program nurtures children ages two to five years old with a robust pre-academic and self-initiated play-based curriculum. Gulmohar’s Waldorf-inspired curriculum focuses on nurturing the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and physically—through a balance of structured activities and creative play. The approach emphasizes imagination, sensory exploration, and practical life skills, fostering a deep connection with nature, seasonal rhythms, and cultural traditions. By integrating storytelling, music, movement, and hands-on activities, children develop confidence, empathy, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Connecting with NatureRain or shine, every day the children enjoy unstructured playtime, awakening their senses in our expansive, lush garden. Children engage in creative activities like hauling stones and logs, digging, playing in the mud kitchen, and building forts with large logs and branches, where they observe the principles of physics in action. Children especially cherish their time in the sandpit. Throughout the year our students actively participate in all stages of gardening—from composting to sowing seeds to raking leaves and creating mud cakes!

Foundations for Later Academic LearningOur Motia Early Childhood program promotes a playful and engaging approach to learning, and fosters essential skills such as sequencing, sensory integration, eye-hand coordination, and an appreciation for the beauty of language are integrated as foundational elements of learning.

Celebrating Seasonal and Cultural FestivalsOur curriculum draws from our own Pakistani cultural celebrations as well as universal festivals throughout the year. These celebrations are a way for the children to form a deeper bond with their cultural roots.

Literacy and Regional LanguagesSpeech and language development is woven throughout many aspects of the day. Through fairy tales and folktales, nature stories and puppet shows, language is explored in many ways, including regional stories, rhymes and games in the mother tongue. Alliteration, repetition, rhythm and imagery are some of the elements that the children are grasping unconsciously and building on their imagination and memory.
