Cherished Moments - Guardian’s Day
The Early Years' Father’s / Guardian’s Day celebration was a heartwarming event that beautifully honored the unique relationship between fathers/guardians and their children. The day commenced with spirited activities like "Percussion" and "Team Building," actively involving parents. The children's performances, featuring songs, rhymes, and joyful dance routines, showcased their love and appreciation. A standout feature was the collaborative co-creation takeaway craft, which allowed fathers/guardians and children to share a creative bonding experience. Feedback from fathers/guardians, including Vishrut’s Father's anticipation, Maanvir’s Father's enthusiasm for drums and clay, and Suvana’s Father's joy in dancing with the kids, encapsulated the event's essence. This heartening celebration not only strengthened familial ties but also created lasting memories, fostering a strong sense of community within the Early Years' cohort.

All the mothers enthusiastically participated and enjoyed the game with children. Post this, children and mothers participated and enjoyed the co-scholastic sessions.
The last leg of the event was a craft co-creation by students and their mothers. They were given waste material to create a photo frame. The participants came up with new and innovative ideas to make the frame. It was a pleasure watching the dynamic and energetic mother and child duo preparing something unique, something special. The outcome of their efforts was marvelous.

Beginning of a new journey
We are delighted to inform you that the Nursery children fared fantastically well on their first day at school. With welcoming warmth and widespread smiles, it didn’t take much time for them to settle in their classes. Singing and swaying, the children were brought closer to begin the day with Circle time. A simple ‘Name game’ was played and shared names to familiarize the children with each other and also with the teacher. This was followed by a hearty breakfast of jam sandwich, pav-bhaji and roohafza milk which they relished and some even asked for a second helping. The highlight of the day was the Puppet Show based on the story- Webster J Duck. They seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the show and also engaged in creating a craft of a duck based on the story. The also enjoyed playing with cubes, play dough, in the jungle gym and in the sand pit. The first day in the ‘Big School ‘ ended on a happy note.
Our Kindergarteners were happy to be back at school and we were delighted to see all the children well settled in their homerooms. They warmly welcomed their old and new friends and enthusiastically participated in all the activities during the day. As a part of getting to know each other they played 'Name Game', listened to the story of Chrysanthemum and made a craft depicting themselves and as always all of them had a fabulous time playing at the outdoors.
