Celebrating Diversity and Life’s Journey:
Events and Festivals at Playful Minds
At Playful Minds Preschool, our vibrant tapestry of learning extends beyond the classroom, embracing the richness of cultures, traditions, and experiences. We take great pride in fostering an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and celebrated. Our calendar comes alive with a mosaic of festivals like Eid, Holi, Diwali, Christmas, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Easter.
These celebrations provide a beautiful platform for children to embrace diversity, learn about various cultures, and appreciate the beauty of unity in our world.
In addition to festivals, our school hosts a spectrum of events that touch upon different aspects of life. From Grandparents Day, where cherished bonds are celebrated, to Helper Day, where the importance of community and gratitude is honoured, we ensure that each celebration resonates with life’s invaluable lessons. Through events like Teacher’s Day, Nelson Mandela Day, and Tiger’s Day, we instil values of respect, compassion, and awareness, imparting valuable life lessons to our young learners.
Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of life through events and festivals that not only create beautiful memories but also lay the foundation for a future where our children grow as empathetic, informed, and globally aware individuals.
