As active play is a significant component of our curriculum in the early years,a lot of barefoot play is encouraged,as feet are the nerve rich parts of the body and help build nerve connections with the brain.To achieve this, the park has a sensory path which gives little children the experience of walking barefoot on varied textures.The park also has a sand pit for creative play, a sensory musical wall for auditory discrimination and pipes‘nball wall for enhancing motor coordination.
The park is designed with the purpose of stimulating the five senses and free play.Exploring the surroundings freely allows a child to discover and come up with his own design thinking.Cloud watching is one of the favourite activities that children love to do when they come here.
