School Activities
Physical Activities
Children love to fiddle with different kinds of things and we encourage them in activities where they learn to use and handle different things. We help them to utilize their physical store of energy in an optimum manner by providing them with carefully chosen play materials.

Our Guiding Principles
Children possess sensibilities and mental powers which are unique to their particular levels of developing awareness.
Children differ from one another.
The most important years of the growth of a child are the first six years. Children learn to initiate things on their own.
Every child is gifted in some way. A rich, stimulating environment allows each child to bring forth his or her own special talents.
Interaction between children in a non-formal environment makes the young ones outspoken and smart.
