Purposeful Play and Positive Habits: Highlights from Ekya Early Years
Every week in Ekya Early Years is a celebration of creativity and learning. The past weeks were no different- we witnessed heartwarming moments, from pretend vacations and hilarious jokes to healthy habits and tokens of gratitude !
Vacation Mode Activated at Ekya
In our Atelier, two young learners brought a beachside holiday to life through pretend play with a straw hat, sunglasses, and colourful feathers. One child became the star of the scene, while the other played the perfect stylist, adding a necklace made of large, vibrant beads. The imaginative play sparked giggles and storytelling, showing how simple props can inspire big adventures in our little ones’ minds.
A Whole Lot of Love for the Parents
Meanwhile, at Ekya Byrathi, our pre-primary children melted hearts during Parent Appreciation Day. With tiny hands and big love, they decorated envelopes and filled them with handmade love coupons — sweet tokens of gratitude to thank their parents. Each creation was unique and full of feeling, proving that love does come in small packages.
Learning to Care for Our Sparkling Smiles
We also took time to honour one of India’s great medical minds, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, on his birth anniversary, July 1st. Dr. Divya, the guest for the day, visited our classrooms to share the importance of oral hygiene and healthy eating. The session was interactive and engaging, with children eagerly answering questions, sharing what they knew, and listening to fun stories about caring for their teeth.
Laughter Takes the Centre Stage
And finally, Tell a Joke Day at EITPL brought the house down with laughter! Armed with their funniest jokes, our little comedians had everyone in splits. To add to the fun, they played a game using colourful pegs and a “Tell a Joke” sign, passed around like musical chairs. When the music stopped, the child with the paper had to tell a joke—resulting in roars of laughter and unforgettable moments.
Ekya believes that learning is a happy adventure! That’s why we created an environment that lets learners thrive with creativity, gratitude, healthy habits and humour.
Together, let’s give children the space to grow with joy and purpose—inside and outside the school.
