Our Little Story
AES–AG Pre-Primary School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten) is one of the oldest and well managed institution by the Ahmedabad Education Society (AES).
AES was established on 15th May 1935. Enlightened and patriotically minded citizens of Ahmedabad felt the need for an institution that would inculcate values and culture and impart education to promising young Indians in formative years.
With this lofty ideas and consideration Late Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai Shah as the chairman of the governing body and Late Shri Jivalal Diwan as secretary had set up a number of educational institutions right from kindergarten to post graduate level.
One of its institution AES–AG Pre-Primary School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten) has been set up in the year 1983.
AES–AG Pre-Primary School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten) has a very conducive and progressive environment for pre-primary school.
Principal’s Message
Welcome to AES–AG Pre-Primary School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten), where we have been dedicated to nurturing young minds in pre-school education since 1983.
“Education imparted by heart can bring revolution in the society.”
I consider myself exceptionally fortunate to have been entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the future of our students as the Principal of this esteemed school. As the head of the school, I am deeply honoured and privileged to guide and train young minds, fostering positive learning environments for future aspirants.
Albert Einstein once stated, “Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think,” a sentiment we strongly embrace.
We identify ourselves as a community of learners where every stakeholder, including our teachers, parents, and staff, is learning and growing continually.
Our affluent and energetic staff members engage to foster a positive learning atmosphere where students can thrive.
We believe the child’s learning involves and revolves around an effective partnership between home and school. The stronger this bond, the greater the benefits for the child.
With a rich and rewarding history of educational achievements, our school community continues to move forward with pride, confidence, and enthusiasm.
The ongoing success of our institution is a testament to the collaborative efforts and mutual understanding of both parents and teachers, essential for the proper development and advancement of the kids.
As the head of this institution, I take immense pride and feel extremely elated in the way our school has progressed over the past few decades. I am committed to ensuring that this platform continues to provide holistic learning opportunities to young minds for generations to come.

Our Philosophy
At AES-AG School, our philosophy is built on four essential pillars:
Inclusivity:
- Every child who enters our door becomes an integral part of the AES-AG School (Pre-Primary) family.
- Our goal is to instill a sense of belonging and inclusion in all our students.
Appreciation of Uniqueness:
- Every family is made up of unique individuals, and we celebrate this diversity.
- We understand the value and appreciate the individuality of each student and family associated with our school.
Commitment to Education:
- AES-AG School provides a unique educational environment.
- We operate as a cohesive team dedicated to helping each child achieve their goals and have a successful schooling year.
Unwavering Belief in Every Child:
- We firmly believe that every child is a gem, unique with limitless potential, ready to shine.
- We recognize and nurture these unique qualities and abilities of each child.
How We Teach
Our team has put in a lot of effort in framing the learning material appropriate for the kindergarten. Our books, work sheets, lab activities that use practical life material, sensorial materials, spindle boxes, metal insets etc. and other learning material has been carefully researched and selected by our Team. We have maintained high standards in terms of academics.
Our curriculum is the backbone of A. E. S. – A. G. School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten). The basic principle of our curriculum is “Child Development” and “Child Learning”. We believe in stress-free learning. Our children are not forced to learn, but encouraged to participate and are involved in various sensory, exploratory and interesting activities to foster their holistic development.
Subjectivity
We experience the world subjectively thus we create subjective representations of our experience in terms of the traditional senses of vision, audition, tactition, olfaction and gustation such that when we — for example — rehearse an activity “in our heads”, recall an event or anticipate the future we will “see” images, “hear” sounds, “taste” flavours, “feel” tactile sensations, “smell” odours and think in some (natural) language. Furthermore it is claimed that these subjective representations of experience have a discernible structure, a pattern.
Consciousness
It is bifurcated into a conscious component and a unconscious component. Those subjective representations that occur outside of an individual’s awareness comprise what is referred to as the “unconscious mind”.
Learning
An imitative method of learning is claimed to be able to codify and reproduce an exemplar’s expertise in any domain of activity. An important part of the codification process is a description of the sequence of the sensory/linguistic representations of the subjective experience of the exemplar during execution of the expertise.
Our Learning Toys
Our selection is based on the following observation:
“All toys are learning toys, but, the toys that work best” –
- are 90 percent child and 10 percent toys
- can be used in multiple ways – again and again
- inspire creativity and imagination
- can be used with others
Meaning: Simpler is smarter. High-tech, high-cost gizmos with digital bells-and-whistles aren’t necessary to elevate your child’s intelligence. Instead, we use vintage toys such as rubber balls, clay, crayons, art supplies, building blocks, and other construction toys that enlist a child’s imaginations and small-motor skills to build castles, forts, and playhouses.
At A. E. S. – A. G. School (Formerly known as K. H. Modi Kindergarten), we have a list of materials that help children learn, including paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, tape, cardboard boxes, easel paints, water colours, sand, play dough, building blocks, puzzles, dress-up clothes, hats, props, dolls, doll clothes, and simple musical instruments.
