The primary curriculum aims at enhancing children's natural desire and strategies to learn through the integrated, interlinked and interwoven approach combining all the disciplines together. The CBSE curriculum recommends weaving all the areas of learning into one string to promote aesthetic and personal awareness and the ability to express oneself in different ways and styles. The enquiry and skill based approach contributes to the trans-disciplinary structure both for the local and global comprehension. This ensures developing curiosity, enjoyment of learning and achievement in young children.

It is important that the learning experiences provided to young children in the formative stage have sufficient opportunity for exploration and a good balance between teacher led and child initiated activity. As teachers plan learning experiences for young children, it is essential that full account is taken of the links that can be created across the areas of learning to ensure that such experiences contribute to the broad and comprehensive learning development. It provides support for them to be active enquirers and life-long learners.
