Burlington English, in collaboration with the Early Childhood Association, announces the launch of its transformative Magic of Early Years kit, designed to elevate the learning experience for millions of preschool students across India. The kit includes material promoting social capacities, teamwork, ethics, personal cleanliness and healthy lifestyle choices—an area often overlooked in early childhood education.
The kit aligns the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) 2022 and is also the only product endorsed by the Early Childhood Association (ECA) with a 5-star rating.
The Burlington Magic of Early Years kit promotes a play-based, activity-based approach to learning, integrating alphabet, numbers, counting, shapes, puzzles, and music while focusing on healthy lifestyle choices and excluding junk food imagery. The kit also includes comprehensive language and literacy development material, such as Oral Language Development and Word Recognition books, and incorporates Indian stories and traditional art forms to foster cultural awareness. Additionally, the resources in the kit are based on the Panchkosha framework, addressing the holistic development of children, including their physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, and ethical growth.
Speaking at the launch event attended by representatives from over 80 schools across the country, Mr. Amit Baveja, Managing Director of Burlington English India & Southeast Asia, said, “Burlington English is committed to setting new standards in early years education, and this initiative reflects our unwavering dedication to shaping the future of India’s young learners. With the launch of the Magic of Early Years kit, we are taking a bold step forward in revolutionising early childhood education.”
Dr Swati Popat Vats, Advisor for The Burlington Magic of Early Years and President of ECA-APER, remarked, ” Having excluded all practices that can potentially stress children, they not only aligned the resource with NCF-2022, but also went the extra mile to weave joy, choice, wonder and brain development into the learning material. Kudos to Burlington English for setting the standard for quality and developmentally appropriate material for early years!”
