Sunbeam World School is accredited by IAO and recognised by Cambridge, Cognia, NIOS and BOSSE, so your child's nursery year begins inside a school that continues all the way to Grade 12.
Our online nursery classes turn the first year of school into play: short live sessions of rhymes, stories, counting games and craft, led by a teacher with an assistant, while you sit beside your child and see every moment.
Each 20 to 30 minute session is followed by a movement break or a hands-on activity from the learning kit, so learning continues away from the screen. Children build phonics, early numbers, Hindi swar, EVS, fine motor skills and confidence.
There are no exams. Teachers observe, keep a portfolio of your child's work and send monthly progress reports, and every session is recorded, so nothing is missed on a sleepy or unwell day.
Live nursery sessionsParents choose an online nursery for a gentle start at home, no early rush or commute, a healthier and safer first classroom, a view of every lesson, learning at their child's pace and fewer extra costs.
Your child begins school from the comfort of home with you close by, so confidence grows before the move to a physical school.

Children with allergies or low immunity learn away from crowded rooms, in a teacher-supervised class with an anti-bullying policy.
You watch how the teacher introduces a letter sound or a craft, so you can repeat it during play later in the day.
A teacher and an assistant for 15 children, and recordings to replay, so a child who needs longer is never left behind.

By the end of nursery, most children recognise letter sounds, count objects to ten, name shapes and colours, hold a crayon firmly and take turns in a group. Open each area to see how we build it.
Phonics, numbers, Hindi and EVS
Nursery children meet letters, sounds and numbers through songs, flashcards and play, never through drills.
Phonics in nursery starts with letter sounds, picture words and rhymes, so children hear the sounds of English before they are asked to write them.
How we help: Sound songs, real-photo flashcards and letter hunts using objects around the house.
Nursery maths covers counting objects, matching, sorting, big and small, and naming shapes and colours, all learned through games.
How we help: Counting rhymes, sorting trays from the kit and colour hunts during live sessions.
Hindi in the CBSE-aligned nursery begins with swar sounds, simple words and Hindi rhymes, so children grow up comfortable in two languages.
How we help: Hindi songs, picture cards and short speaking games led by the teacher.
EVS in nursery helps children name body parts, family members, animals, plants, seasons and transport, starting from what they see every day.
How we help: Show-and-tell, nature walks with a parent and picture talks in class.
Listening, sharing and confidence
The nursery year builds the classroom habits children need before LKG: waiting for a turn, listening and speaking up.
Turn-taking in an online nursery class means waiting to speak, listening to a friend's show-and-tell and cheering for each other.
How we help: Name games, circle time and a teacher and assistant who give every child a turn.
Following one-step and two-step instructions, such as fetch the red block and put it in the box, is a key nursery milestone.
How we help: Action songs, treasure hunts and activity steps shown one at a time.
Pencil grip, movement and art
Small hands get stronger through clay, colouring and cutting, and big muscles through yoga and dance.
Fine motor skills in nursery grow through clay modelling, colouring, tearing paper and using safety scissors, which prepare fingers for writing in LKG.
How we help: Clay, crayons and safety scissors in the learning kit, used in guided craft sessions.
Gross motor skills develop through jumping, balancing, animal yoga poses and dance, with movement breaks between every short session.
How we help: Yoga and PE sessions, and movement songs that get children off the chair.
Art, music and storytelling let 3-year-olds express feelings and ideas long before they can write them down.
How we help: Rhymes, puppet stories, painting and music built into the weekly timetable.

Activity books, flashcards, clay, craft materials, safety scissors and worksheets arrive home. No printing needed.
Sorting, building, planting and colour games turn every idea from class into something children can touch.
Action songs, puppet stories and dance keep 3-year-olds moving, listening and talking.
Every session is recorded on the LMS, so a missed rhyme or story can be enjoyed again later.
Every nursery session follows a five-step play cycle
Every nursery class has a teacher and an assistant, special educators support children with additional needs, and parents get a guide and termly meetings to continue learning at home.
Learning kit at homeA teaching assistant helps children who need a hand, so no child waits long for help.
Support for autism, speech delay and other needs, with an individual plan where needed.
A step-by-step parent guide and termly meetings show you how to extend learning at home.
Every session is saved on the LMS to replay after a nap, a doctor visit or a busy day.
An online nursery offers short sessions, a parent in the room, a learning kit and monthly reports, while a local play school offers daily in-person group play. Compare both before you decide.

Parents of 3-year-olds ask about screen time, motor skills and the learning kit, friends and class size, their own role and progress updates, and recognition and refunds. Every answer starts with the direct fact.
Parent guide to healthy, active screen use
Nursery screen time is short, split up and active, with the rest of the learning happening off-screen.
Online nursery needs about 60 to 90 minutes of screen time a day, split into two or three live sessions of 20 to 30 minutes in your chosen batch, with movement breaks between them. See the school timings.
Screen time in our online nursery is active. Children sing, answer questions, hold up objects, dance and follow craft steps with the teacher instead of watching videos. Recordings are there only to catch up on a missed session.
Online nursery needs a laptop or tablet with a camera, set on a table where your child can move and use the kit, and a steady internet connection. See the essential requirements.
Parent guide to hands-on learning at home
Little hands learn by doing, so every nursery child gets a physical kit and every session has a hands-on part.
Your child develops fine motor skills through the hands-on part of every session, rolling clay, colouring, tearing paper and cutting with safety scissors, while the teacher shows each step on screen and you help at home.
The school sends a physical learning kit home with activity books, real-photo flashcards, clay, craft materials, safety scissors, worksheets and a parent guide, so no printing is needed. See the learning kit page.
A missed nursery session is never lost, because every session is recorded on the LMS. You can replay the rhyme, story or activity later in the day, and the teacher shares what to practise with the kit.
Parent guide to social skills and focus
Small classes, familiar faces and lots of movement help 3-year-olds bond and stay with the lesson.
Your child makes friends in online nursery through circle time, show-and-tell, group songs and name games with the same classmates every day. Nursery parents tell us their children look forward to seeing their teacher and friends on screen.
The teacher-to-child ratio in our online nursery is a teacher and an assistant for 15 children, so each adult looks after about seven or eight little ones and every child gets a turn to speak and show their work.
A child who will not sit still is normal at three, and our sessions are built for it. Classes last only 20 to 30 minutes, include movement songs and breaks, and the assistant gently brings wandering children back in.
Parent guide to sitting in and staying informed
In nursery, a parent or caregiver sits in, and the school keeps you updated every month.
A parent or caregiver sits with the child in every nursery class, helping with log-in, materials and activities. Children need less help as they grow, and by UKG most attend on their own.
Working parents manage online nursery school by asking a grandparent or caregiver to sit in, choosing a morning, afternoon or evening batch, and replaying recorded sessions together in the evening. Reports arrive monthly on the LMS.
Your child's progress is shared through monthly progress reports, a portfolio of their work and a parent-teacher meeting every term, all based on teacher observation rather than exams, so you always know what to practise next.
Parent guide to moving on and school policies
Nursery is part of an accredited school, with clear policies and a path into LKG, UKG and Grade 1.
Online nursery at Sunbeam World School is recognised because it is part of an accredited school, backed by IAO, Cambridge, Cognia, NIOS and BOSSE. Schools admit children to LKG and Class 1 mainly by age, and progress reports support the move.
The refund policy allows a partial refund of tuition fees if you withdraw in writing before the LMS is activated and classes begin. Once classes start, fees are generally non-refundable, so try a free demo first. See the refund policy.
Children outside India can join online nursery classes by picking the morning, afternoon or evening batch that suits their time zone. Recordings of every session help families in time zones further away.
From online yoga to competitive coding - Sunbeam nurtures every child's unique talent, Nursery through Grade 12.
These online nursery school FAQs answer what parents search most: the best age to start, validity, free classes, what children learn, LKG, special needs support, curriculum choice, admission and fees.
An online nursery school teaches children aged 3 to 4 through short live video sessions with a teacher, combined with hands-on activities from a learning kit at home. At Sunbeam World School, a parent sits in, and progress is shared through monthly reports.
The best online nursery school in India teaches live in small groups, follows a recognised early years curriculum, sends a learning kit home and shares regular progress reports. Sunbeam World School offers all four, with a teacher and an assistant in every nursery class.
The best age to start online school is around three, when children enjoy songs, stories and play and can follow a short live session with a parent beside them. Our nursery takes children who are 3 to 4 years old by 31 March.
Online school is valid for nursery because pre-primary classes follow early childhood frameworks rather than board exams. Sunbeam World School is IAO accredited and recognised by Cambridge, Cognia, NIOS and BOSSE, so your child continues smoothly into LKG, UKG and Grade 1.

Sunbeam World School is a recognised online school in India, with certification in later grades through NIOS, the national open schooling board under the Ministry of Education, and BOSSE. Nursery itself is taught in Indian (CBSE-aligned), British and American curricula.
An online nursery school near you is simply one that suits your time zone, because classes happen at home. Sunbeam World School teaches nursery live in morning, afternoon and evening batches to children across India and in 135+ countries, with no daily commute.
Your child will learn letter sounds, early numbers, shapes, colours, Hindi swar, EVS topics such as family and animals, and social skills in online nursery classes. Art, rhymes, storytelling, yoga and motor-skill activities fill the rest of each school week.
The difference between pre-nursery and nursery is age and structure. Pre-nursery, or playgroup, suits 2 to 3-year-olds and is mostly free play, while nursery, for ages 3 to 4, adds early phonics, numbers, routines and planned activities that prepare children for LKG.
Online classes for LKG are available at Sunbeam World School for children aged 4 to 5 by 31 March. Nursery children move straight into LKG on the same platform, with the same live, play-based approach. See our online LKG classes.
Children with autism or speech delay can join online nursery at Sunbeam World School. Special educators adjust the pace, the assistant gives extra attention, and parents learn strategies to use at home. See our special education page for more details.
The best nursery curriculum depends on where your child will study next. Choose the Indian CBSE-aligned nursery for schools in India, British Early Years (EYFS) for international schools, or American Pre-K for US-system schools. A counsellor helps you decide after a free demo.
Online nursery is better than a play school for families who want to stay involved, avoid daily travel or keep the same school through a move. A play school suits children who need daily in-person group play. Many parents compare both through a free demo.
To apply for online nursery admission for 2026-27, fill in the enquiry form on this page. A counsellor calls you, helps you choose the curriculum, checks your child's birth certificate and confirms payment, and the learning kit is then sent home.
The fees for online nursery classes depend on the curriculum and cover live classes, curriculum access, assessments and academic support. Every fee is shown up front with no hidden charges, and instalments and sibling discounts are available. See the fee structure.
An online nursery often costs families less overall than a physical preschool, because there are no uniforms, daily school transport or school meals to pay for. Sunbeam World School also shows every fee up front, with no hidden charges, on its fee page.
