Till 2005 these schools were being run as regimental schools. However in 2005 the Army Pre School Education Council (APEC) under AWWA was set up to design a sound Early Child Care & Education (ECCE) programme for the pre schoolers (above 3 years) to ensure holistic development of the child and prepare the child for formal schooling . In consonance with the guidelines stipulated by the APEC, all the pre schools run by the Army establishments were grouped under one control/ apex body (AWES) wef 01 Apr 2011.
