EuroKids Preschool Celebrates the Joy of New Beginnings on First Day of Preschool

MUMBAI:
EuroKids Preschool, India’s foremost preschool expert, joyfully welcomed over 70,000 young learners across 1,400+ centres nationwide today to mark the beginning of the new academic year with its First Day at Preschool celebration. With vibrant spaces, cheerful greetings, and thoughtfully curated experiences, the occasion created a warm, welcoming environment for children stepping into school for the first time. Rooted in EuroKids’ child-first philosophy, the celebration focused on helping children ease into their preschool journey through play, comfort, and connection. Aligned with EuroKids’ pioneering Heureka Curriculum, based on Harvard’s Project Zero and in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the day emphasized child-led discovery, emotional security, and joyful learning hallmarks of the EuroKids approach.

At EuroKids, the First Day is more than a routine, it is a meaningful milestone that shapes a child’s early experiences with learning and independence. The celebration was designed to build emotional security, spark curiosity, and gently guide children into new routines. From the moment they arrived, children were greeted with balloons, smiles, and a warm welcome from their teachers and pre-school staff. Activities throughout the day focused on developing early confidence, reducing anxiety, and encouraging joyful interaction ensuring that the first step into school was filled with happiness and excitement.

The day was filled with a series of fun, immersive activities created especially for toddlers and pre-primary learners. A colourful Balloon Welcome and Selfie Booth let children mark their first school memory with props like ‘My First Day’ and ‘Welcome Back to School’. The magical story corner became a calming space where teachers read ‘first day’ themed books, introducing classroom routines through storytelling. Children also created handprint art and added their handprints to the Welcome Tree, symbolising a warm and personal start to their learning journey. They participated in music and movement games, and explored play zones, making the day vibrant, interactive, and emotionally enriching.

Aisha Taranum, Centre Head, EuroKids Shaikpet, Hyderabad, shared her experience, “At EuroKids Shaikpet, we were delighted to welcome our new batch of children with a series of engaging and joyful activities. From adding their handprints to our symbolic ‘Welcome Tree’ to participating in a lively storytelling session, each moment was designed to spark imagination and build a sense of belonging. The photo booth and creative exercises added a cheerful start, capturing happy memories from the very first day.”

KVS Seshasai, CEO, Pre-K Division, Lighthouse Learning (EuroKids), added, “At EuroKids, we believe that a child’s early school experience lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. The First Day at Preschool is not just about walking into a classroom, it’s about walking into a space that feels like home. Through emotionally nurturing environments and playful experiences, we ensure our children begin their learning journey with joy, curiosity, and confidence.”

EuroKids continues to lead the way in creating emotionally rich, well-rounded learning environments for young children. With its unique blend of structured play, thoughtful celebrations, and a deep understanding of early childhood development, the First Day at Preschool celebration once again demonstrated the brand’s commitment to nurturing not just students, but happy, self-assured learners prepared for a bright future.
