Early Years Matter
Babies are born ‘prewired’ to be Curious
They Are Born Scientists…
They don’t want to be told.
They want to find out on their own.
Explorers
They investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’.
Learners
They concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements.
Thinkers
They develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.
I’ll show you how
This innate quality is what needs to be nurtured!
Gaining competence in the above, will enable the child to naturally, joyfully achieve not only the more emphasized “milestones” and “school-readiness” skills but also make them a confident, lifelong learner.
Parents’ role is to comprehend the natural process of learning which their child is undergoing and to work with it, not against it.
Early years go beyond Colours, Shapes, 123s or ABCs…
As per neurosciences and developmental psychology connection of relationships & social interactions to cognitive development is consistent with how the brain develops and how the mind grows
It is a time when:
attitudes are being created,
habits are taking shape, &
thoughts are being crystallized
The key lies in the Quality of Experiences:

Positive Relationships

Learning & Development
A number of factors in the emotional and social domain, such as independence, responsibility, self-regulation, and cooperation, predict how well children make the transition to school and how they fare in the early grades.

They Say
“It takes a village
to raise a child”
You know your child best and can help them learn in ways and at times that are best for him or her. Parenting is a combination of instincts and knowledge. Sometimes that knowledge helps you trust your instincts and sometimes all you need is a little change of perspective.
![]()
We have replicated this ‘village’ digitally by facilitating a platform to bring together like-minded parents and professionals who share common attitudes, goals & interests – to raise happy, independent & resilient adults.
A space where moms and dads can mindfully engage in exchanging ideas and experiences. Unabashedly share, learn, unlearn, rejoice, laugh & cry upon parent anecdotes.
A space where thoughts expressed, suggestions offered will be sensitive and thorough as opposed to the usual ‘off the cuff’ advice.
