The sustainable development goals 2030 recognize the importance of early child development specifically, the SDG 4 is to ensure healthy early years development. Early childhood is stage from two to six years is a period of remarkable growth and development. During early years children start showing morally –based behavior. From age 3 young children understand the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad ‘behavior. Experiences at home and school influence the sense of right and wrong. Children develop strong relationships with environment, including family, community, culture and society. Value education to children provide platform to learn correct behaviors. It develops a feeling of ''trust'' that the child feels against himself. Age-appropriate responsibilities increases their self-confidence. Pre-school children observe and adapt the certain values through positive models & regular conditioning. An action project is undertaken with preschool children of Senior KG class to orient them about values -personal, social, moral & cultural values. Classroom activities and follow up activities were conducted with the group for a month in one of the preschools of Mumbai. The project was conducted in order to establish the most effective ways of forming a general system of values in preschool children. Emphasis is placed on the unification of methods of moral and ethical education of 3-6-year-old children. In this regard, the classroom activities were conducted on a group consisting of 55 children aged 3-6, and teachers. The activities included storytelling, puppet stories, creative expressions, songs, games etc. The activities were selected to orient children to differentiate values, the range of which was also clearly defined and limited to 15 concepts. As a result of the project, children could understand the importance of values some of them are quite complicated for such age group to comprehend like values of happiness, peace, cooperativeness, honesty, kindness, friendship and purity also attracted significant attention of preschoolers.
