The most prestigious educational institution, D Y Patil International School, has launched Mars1 Preschool, a pre-primary school that will foster young learners' discovery, inquiry, and learning. The preschool was inaugurated by the chief guest, Smt. Pankaja Munde in the presence of Chairperson Pooja Patil and Dr Ajeenkya D Y Patil, Chairman of the Ajeenkya D Y Patil Group.

The school’s founders understand that at this tender age, children have active imaginations and observations, a growing vocabulary, and an inherent curiosity that they seek to explore by thinking, seeing, hearing, or feeling. To satisfy the growing need for pre-primary education, the D Y Patil International School in Worli has launched the Mars1 Preschool for young learners, who will receive a high-quality education in a joyful and limitless learning environment.

Mars1 Preschool will make use of advanced technology in the form of a one-of-a-kind Interactive Learning Floor that encourages collaboration, communication, and creativity via play. This technology is an integral part of the Mars1 curriculum that exposes learners to auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic learning.  Students can also meet and learn from Cubetto, a friendly, wooden robot that teaches children between the age of 3 and 5 to code. The young learners will arrange a sequence of instructions to create a program for Cubetto. As they do so, they will develop their computational thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Along with an utmost focus on security, safety, and hygiene, Mars1 Preschool has created experiential centres for art, maths, geography, discovery, and language/literacy. The preschool ensures holistic development through visual arts, music, yoga, dance (music and movement), physical education, dramatic play, story narration, field trips, and value-added sessions by guest speakers.
