Early Years (EY)

At Naavu, the Early Years are believed to be the foundation for curiosity, connection, and confidence. Designed for children aged 3 to 6, it nurtures each child’s natural desire to explore, express, and belong, through play, inquiry, and joyful discovery.

Naavu EY Uniqueness

We follow the IB Early Years framework, but we bring it to life with warmth, rhythm, and real connection.
