About Shishuvatika

Holistic development through play, exploration and joyful learning.

Shishuvatika is a joyful and child-centred early childhood education programme that focuses on the holistic development of every child. At Vidyadhiraja Vidyapeetom Central School, Shishuvatika provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where children learn through play, activities, interaction and exploration.

The programme focuses on developing the child’s language, communication, cognitive, physical, social, emotional and creative skills. We believe that every child is unique and provide age-appropriate experiences that help children learn with confidence, curiosity and joy.
