NIDO . the best beginning

Learning is their journey.
Let them navigate.
Encourage them to explore.
Watch them discover.
Let them fly on their own wings.

Childhood is a Magical Time, Full of Possibilities.

The first five years of a child’s life are the most important ones –
many aspects of their future like their happiness quotient,
parameters of their health, the basis of their learning, their physical
development as well as their roots to family & community bonding
are formed during this time. Research shows that experiences from
these early years lay a life-long foundation in a child’s growth.

NIDO- A Parent Toddler Program

Inspired by Dr Maria Montessori & Reggio Emilia’s child-centred learning approach, we, at NIDO, firmly hold the belief that ‘Exploration’ and ‘Open-ended play’ are the best gifts for any child. Such Intriguing Play inspires curious little minds to explore, observe and discover the world around them.

Parents as Partners – the Bonding Process

At NIDO, we strongly believe that the participation of parents is vital for a child’s holistic development. As a parent, you partner with your child in this journey of discovery, play and observation as their friend & confidante, without interfering or instructing them. The bond that is built through this process is a strong, confident launch pad for your child.
