The development of kids is a sine qua non for the development of a society and a country, and preschools are an important part of this. Preschools are now popular across the country. For example, EuroKids preschool is now a popular name. The EuroKids school was established 23 years ago, and today, more than 1700 EuroKids preschools have been established across India. EuroKids schools have been awarded more than 60.
On November 15, 2025, I had the opportunity to
attend ‘Health is Wealth and Sports Day’ at EuroKids School,
Kismatpur, Hyderabad, where the management committee invited me as the chief
guest. It is noteworthy to mention that in this school for 3-4-year-old kids, the programmes
inter alia, are a) hands-on discovery and exploration with exclusive
EuroKids kits, b) developing language skills, c) encouraging learning of
new-age skills, d) engaging children physically, emotionally, and
socially, e) shaping scientific thought in children, f) imparting essential life skills, g) developing
language skills, etc. On the other hand, for the Euro senior (5 to 6
years), the programmes inter alia are a) special activities for developing
language skills, b) age-appropriate learning with exclusive EuroKids
learning tools that encourage children to express their ideas, thoughts, and
feelings, c) allowing children to grow at their own pace, d) building
& enhancing vocabulary, e) preparing children for primary school, etc.
This article presents the sports activities for
kids aged between two and six years at EuroKids School, Kismatpur, held on
November 15, 2025. EuroKids
School was established at Kismatpur, Hyderabad, in early 2025 with 70
lively kids. Their ages range from 2 to 6 years, and they are accommodated in
Play School, Nursery, Euro Junior, and Euro Senior classes. A team of educated
ladies manages the school. There are many positive aspects to this school,
including a kid-friendly atmosphere, safety, hygiene, engaging play activities,
trained and experienced staff, a mindful learning approach, and more.
In addition to the management committee, eight
teachers and five support staff members are employed, all of whom are
female. This school truly embodies women's empowerment. The school
authority initiated "Health is Wealth and Sports Day" on November 15,
2025. In the programme, Prof. Shankar Chatterjee, former professor and
head (CPME), NIRDPR (Government of India), was invited as the chief guest. He
motivated the kids and highlighted the importance of health and sports. During
his college days, Prof. Chatterjee played state-level hockey and appeared in a
Telugu film, which he mentioned to inspire the kids.
In the programme, there were various sports activities in which
kids enthusiastically participated. All the events were planned methodically
and strategically according to the kids' ages. It is delightful to see
that kids aged two to six years participated energetically in the sports
events. Additionally, organisers organised sports events for parents (mothers
and fathers), and they joined in cheerfully. Sports like tying one foot to the
other (mother & father), carrying kids by father/mother, walking, and
returning were the features of sports. All events, ranging from two years
old (for children) to 40 years old (for parents), were filled
with entertainment.
I pray to Almighty God that the school reaches its zenith in
the near future.
