    What is heard and seen is not registered for a long time but what is experienced through activity is never forgotten. When a child engages in the learning process on his own, it enables a child's body and mind development. Children are in constant need of toys and toys are an excellent tool for a child’s growth but the children of the underprivileged are deprived of these.

    And hence, to cater to this need, Shishuvihar came up with a place where children can play in the play house filled with more than 70 equipment’s along with toys like cycling, driving cart, pedal- rickshaw, motorcar, balancing and many more. The toy house periodically hosts programs of nursery rhymes and children's stories. Art and craft training is imparted every Saturday at Bal Kendra.

    Education is measured in terms of degrees and percentages, but talent of child is measured in terms of one's thoughts, statements, and actions.’ Education is not just to gain bookish knowledge but true education is that which nurtures one’s powers, ability to develop continuously and teaches the art of living. The process of education begins before birth and continues till death. In this sense extra education in addition to school – colleges are in the true sense Art of living a life.

    Co Curricular activities like sports, music, dance, art and craft, theatre, such life skills are not given vital importance in school learning. Children do not have the opportunity to develop their innate abilities at home or at school in these situations.
