Summer Programme 2026

A summer of play, practice and progress.

A structured therapeutic programme for children aged 2–12 that builds communication, independence and confidence through routines they actually enjoy.

Every single day

What your child does here.

Five themed weeks, ten planned blocks each day, none too long — so your child never runs out of steam or patience.

01

A gentle start

A sensory warm-up and greeting routine every morning, so your child knows what to expect from the first minute.

02

Group time together

Songs, rhymes and simple turn-taking activities in a small group that makes it safe to try.

03

Focused activity work

Puzzles, sorting and hands-on tasks that build the ability to sit, focus and finish — the exact things school asks for.

04

Real-life skills

Hand washing, eating and packing a bag, practised step by step here and easier at home after a few weeks.

05

Play with peers

Small-group games where children learn to take turns and share, not because they are told to, but because the setup makes it natural.

06

Free time on their terms

Child-led play where your child chooses what to do. Choosing independently is a real milestone.

A day at the programme

Predictable, purposeful, paced.

The day has a rhythm. Your child knows what comes next, which makes it easier to settle, join in and try something new.

Times are for the core therapy programme. Children staying for the optional coding session continue from 3:00 PM.

Core learning Weekly focus Optional add-on
See the five-week curriculum
  1. 10:00 – 10:30 Opens every day

    Arrival and settling in

    A sensory warm-up on arrival: gentle movement, swings and a short greeting routine. Your child sees the day’s plan on a visual board so nothing catches them off guard.

    Arrives calm and knows what to expect
  2. 10:30 – 11:00

    Circle time

    Songs, rhymes and simple questions about the day. Short enough that attention stays, long enough for children to feel part of the group.

    Listening and belonging
  3. 11:00 – 12:00 Core learning

    Activity time

    Table-top work: puzzles, matching, sorting and peg boards — the skills that get children ready for a classroom, wrapped in play.

    Attention span and the ability to finish a task
  4. 12:00 – 12:45

    Lunch break

    A proper sit-down lunch. Children ask for what they need, wait for others and eat together. Communication happens naturally when children feel comfortable.

    Asking, waiting and sitting with peers
  5. 12:45 – 13:15 Core learning

    Life skills

    Washing hands, eating independently, packing a bag and managing routines. Broken into small steps and practised until they stick.

    Less help needed from you at home
  6. 13:15 – 13:45 Core learning

    Social play

    Turn-taking games and shared activities. Children begin by playing alongside each other; by week three, most are playing with each other.

    Playing with others, not just next to them
  7. 13:45 – 14:30 Weekly focus

    Skill of the week

    Each week has one main skill the whole group works on together. Communication one week, independence the next. Concentrated practice gets results.

    One clear skill built per week
  8. 14:30 – 15:00

    Creative corner and free play

    Art, craft, sand or water play, followed by child-led free play. There is no right answer here, which is the point.

    Expression, sensory comfort and independence
  9. 15:00 – 16:00 Optional add-on

    Programming add-on

    An optional one-hour coding session for enrolled children, or a standalone session for children not in the therapy programme.

    Logic, sequencing and a project to take home

A clean-up song, a quick look back at what happened and a goodbye routine. Consistent endings help children transition home. Pick-up at 3:00 PM · 4:00 PM after coding.

You are kept close

You will know how it is going.

You are not handing your child over and waiting for a report. Updates happen in small, useful moments.

01

At pick-up

A quick update on how your child’s day went: what clicked, what was tricky, and one thing to try together at home.

02

Through the programme

You will see the difference in how your child handles routines, requests and transitions at home. That is the real measure of progress.

03

At the end

We invite you in for a parent session where your child shows you what they have been working on. Worth clearing your calendar for.

Five-week curriculum

A different world each week.

Every theme is chosen to connect with what children already know and love, while building skills that carry into school and home.

Week 1 Family

Connecting through play

  • Role-play corner: home and family situations
  • Stick puppet making and a family puppet show
  • Emotion game with happy and sad expression cards
  • Find-your-family movement and group bonding game

Skills built Speech, social interaction, emotion recognition and group comfort.

Week 2 Fruits and vegetables

Learning through the senses

  • Sensory basket: touch, smell and guess with a blindfold
  • Mini market set-up with buying and selling role play
  • Juice and fruit chaat making day
  • Grocery store visit to practise purchasing
  • Sorting race: fruits versus vegetables

Skills built Sensory processing, language, early number concepts and gross motor coordination.

Week 3 Rainbow colours

Exploring the world in colour

  • Colour hunt around the classroom
  • Rainbow obstacle path on coloured mats
  • Messy play day: foam, finger painting and colour mixing
  • Dress-up day: each child comes in one colour

Skills built Colour recognition, movement, body awareness and creative expression.

Week 4 Body parts

Moving and knowing themselves

  • Action songs: head, shoulders, knees and toes
  • Doctor role play with a pretend check-up
  • Mirror activity: touch your nose, eyes and ears
  • Body puzzle: assemble the human body

Skills built Body awareness, following instructions, language and imaginative play.

Week 5 Environment

Taking care of the world

  • Planting activity: each child plants and takes a pot home
  • Nature walk to collect leaves and stones
  • Clean-up drive to build responsibility
  • Best out of waste: bottle craft and paper reuse

Skills built Responsibility, fine motor skills, environmental awareness and pride in their work.

Every day, all five weeks

The foundations, built in.

These run alongside the weekly themes, not as extras but as the ground the rest of the day stands on.

I

Sensory play

Fifteen minutes of sand, water, slime or rice-tray play to help children regulate and get ready for structured work.

II

Speech circle time

Daily naming practice, turn-taking and simple sentences in a group. Small moments of language that add up.

III

Movement breaks

Jumping, crawling and balance walks woven through the day. Children learn better when their bodies have moved.

IV

Calm time

A short breathing or music relaxation moment, helping children learn to settle themselves.

By the end of the programme

What parents notice.

Five weeks is long enough to see real change. These are the shifts families tell us about most often.

01

Easier mornings

When children know what to expect, transitions feel less like a battle. The routines practised here tend to carry home.

02

More ways to communicate

Words, gestures or pictures. Children leave with more tools for saying what they need.

03

More comfortable with peers

The group is small enough that most children find at least one peer interaction they enjoy.

04

Doing more independently

Eating, packing, washing. Small things that add up to real relief at home by the end of the programme.

05

Better prepared for school

Sitting, listening and completing tasks — the building blocks of a classroom day, practised in a low-pressure setting.

06

A child who had a good summer

Children who experience success in a safe place come back wanting more of it. That is worth something.

Common questions

Things parents usually ask.

If your question is not here, message us with your child’s age and what you are looking for. We will take it from there.

Message us on WhatsApp
My child has never been in a group setting before. Will they manage?

That is quite common. The first few days are slower and more about comfort than activities. We do not rush the settling-in. Most children who were hesitant in week one surprise their parents by week two.

What should my child bring each day?

A lunch box, a water bottle and a small bag with a spare set of clothes. We will send a welcome note before the programme starts with everything you need to know.

Can my child join only the programming session?

Yes. The programming session is available as a standalone enrolment at ₹3,000 per month. No need to join the full therapy programme. It is open to all children aged 4–12.

Is this only for children with autism or ADHD?

The therapy programme is designed for children who benefit from structured, sensory-aware support. The programming session is open to all children, including neurotypical siblings.

If I enrol in both therapy and programming, what is the total fee?

₹5,000 for the therapy programme plus ₹3,000 for the programming add-on, totalling ₹8,000 per child for the full programme.
