 Foreword
The National Education Policy, 2020 envisions to ensure quality Early Childhood Care
and Education for all children between 3 to 6 years. The overall aim of ECCE in NEP is to attain
optimal outcome in all domains i.e. Physical Development, Socio-Emotional and Ethical
Development, Cognitive Development, Language and Literacy Development, Aesthetic and
Cultural Development. For healthy brain development the children need positive learning
experiences catering to all the domains of the development. The positive experiences will
build a foundation for future learning of children and their health. The best way to help
children in the preschool is to engage them in age appropriate activities. A child learns best
when there is joy in learning.

The assessment booklet for Preschool has been developed to track the monthly
progress of child in achieving Learning Outcomes. It attempts to provide competency based
worksheets in a simple interesting and engaging manner. The activities and worksheets in the
assessment booklet will be added every month to help the preschool teachers in assessment.
The activities for assessment are suggestive and can be modified by the teacher keeping in
view the need of the children. There is lot of scope to add or skip the worksheet based on the
children’s context and needs.

The teacher can use the given worksheets or can develop more worksheets based on
the concepts. They need to foster creativity and independence, allow exploration and
hands-on experiences before doing the worksheet or assessment. Make sure to customize
the worksheet for children with special needs.

I appreciate the efforts of all the resource persons for developing the booklets and
look forward to comments and suggestions from stakeholders to improve upon the booklet
in the coming months.
