Eligibility:

Behaviour Traits:
By two years a child starts moving and experimenting with all kinds of gross movements with both legs and hands. During this period they grow in physical independence in a major way. Tremendous progress is witnessed in the child’s ability to communication and a huge jump in vocabulary and its usage. In personal-social domain too a child moves from a comparative passive “receiving role” to an active assertive interaction pattern. A child’s curiosity leads to development of his/her understanding of all that is, and that happens around.
