Questions

What is the difference between Nursery, LKG and UKG?

They are the three years of pre-school. Nursery (about 3 to 4 years) is play-based: colours, shapes, rhymes and pencil control. LKG or Jr KG (about 4 to 5) adds the alphabet, numbers up to 20 and pre-writing strokes. UKG, Sr KG or HKG (about 5 to 6) adds reading and writing simple words and counting to 100, to get ready for Class 1.

Is HKG the same as UKG?

Usually yes. UKG, Sr KG, Upper KG and HKG are different names for the last year of kindergarten before Class 1. Names vary by school and region, so ask your school.
