This article presents a critical exploration of inclusive education in India's pre-primary sector. This essay delves into the nuanced challenges and evolving methodologies in creating inclusive environments for children aged 3 to 6, drawing on Petriwskyj's (2010) insights on the complexities of inclusion in educational settings. India's journey towards inclusion in education, from ancient Gurukul systems to modern pedagogical models, has been met with challenges, particularly in implementation. Roberts & Simpson (2016) highlight how educators' attitudes and skills impact the effective adoption of inclusive practices. Dr Carol Dweck's research on the" growth mindset"(Dweck, 2006) offers valuable insights into fostering resilience and potential in young learners, crucial in inclusive education. Rani (2018) articulates a vision of inclusive education where each child, regardless of abilities or background, receives a nurturing educational experience. This paradigm shift calls for a curriculum that accommodates all children, encouraging participation in a range of activities and fostering a sense of community and cooperation.
