At our inclusive creche, where we welcome, nurture and celebrate children of all abilities, we celebrated India’s 74th Republic Day with our children, parents and staff in the play area. Patriotic songs played in the background as the invitees marvelled at the tricolour balloons and whiteboards decorated specially for the occasion.
The children finger-painted the flag and coloured in the map of India. Kids, parents and staff made handprints in saffron, white and green to festoon our notice board. There were also nursery rhymes for the youngest, and singing, dancing and games that elicited laughs from everyone. The evening concluded with sweets and badges of the flag for everyone. “Everyone went home in a jolly state after the fun filled day was over,” says Jaya, who manages our inclusive creche.
