school will not only provide early
knowledge but will mould the children to
appreciate proper moral value from
infancy.

children from infancy because ages 3-6
are the formative age and the children
will be disposed to assimilate what is
thought and will practice it
accordingly”.

Fellowship, an Inter-denominational
Prayer wing of the ESI charged the women
to inculcate
Christian values and virtues in
the children.
