How much writing do the nursery classes at Amrita Vidyalayam, Secunderabad do?

Amrita Vidyalayam came up at a birthday party a few weeks ago and I've been reading about it since, even though Marredpally isn't close to us. My daughter is 2, nursery is next year, and her daycare is almost all play. I'm not against some structure, but I've heard about nursery classes elsewhere where three year olds are already filling tracing books. Does anyone know what a nursery day looks like there, how much sitting and writing versus play? Even an impression from a visit would help.

    no idea about amrita specifically. my daughter's preschool started tracing sheets in the second month and she hated them till about 4, then suddenly liked them. so i wouldn't read too much into whatever they do at 3

      Same with my daughter years ago, tracing from nursery. By class 1 nobody remembered who started writing when. What mattered more was whether the teacher pushed or let the slow ones take their time. That's harder to see on a visit, but you can ask how they handle a child who isn't ready yet.
