Maharashtra to Mandate Registration, Curriculum for Preschools
Maharashtra is making rules for preschools like nurseries and kindergartens.
They will need to register with the government and follow rules about buildings, teachers, and what they teach.
This new law is for kids aged 3 to 6.
The rules will help make sure preschools are safe and teach kids well, following what the government thinks is best for early learning.
Teachers will need to have the right qualifications, and the schools will need to provide good spaces for learning and play.
This is to help all kids get a good start in school.
