About Life at Children First
When you choose us, you are not just working with an individual therapist; you are supported by a multi-disciplinary team that thrives on collaboration. Our approach, which we call 'Ubuntu', means we celebrate our team members' growth with the same passion as your child's milestones, ensuring a cohesive environment where every child feels genuinely seen and heard.
For over 15 years, our mission at Children First has been to move beyond standard clinical models. We are not just a group of practitioners; we are a community of care. Our centers in Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, and DLF Phase 1, Gurugram, are designed to be non-clinical, sensory-friendly spaces where children do not have to 'fit in' but can simply belong.
Why Our Team Matters
Our team comprises over 60 dedicated professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and occupational therapists. We emphasize a neurodiversity-affirming foundation. This means we do not see behaviors as problems to be fixed, but as ways of communicating needs. By investing in our team's continuous training—from Narrative Therapy diplomas to play-based certification—we ensure that every therapist brings current, evidence-backed knowledge to their sessions. Whether it is celebrating a colleague's anniversary or adjusting our service hours to 9 AM to 7:30 PM, these internal practices directly impact the quality of care your child receives. A happy, supported team creates a ripple effect of patience, empathy, and stability in the therapy room.
Our Commitment to Families
We operate with the belief that when parents are supported, children thrive. This is why we integrate parent connects and home-strategy briefings into our therapy sessions. We are transparent about our processes and welcome feedback as a tool for our own growth. If you are looking for a therapy journey that values connection as much as clinical outcomes, we are here to walk that path with you.
Children First
At Children First, we believe a supported, connected team is the foundation of quality care. We nurture our community with the same dedication we offer your family, ensuring that when you walk through our doors, you find a space that is as stable and compassionate as it is expert-led.
