I often hear from parents who are worried about screen time. This video shares a real story of how our HEUREKA curriculum, which is rooted in play and visible thinking, helps children rediscover the joy of real-world exploration, reducing their dependence on screens and building their creative confidence.
From screen-time tantrums to mindful moments. This parent shares how our curriculum's focus on the 'spiritual quotient', through gratitude circles and calm-down routines, helped her son develop self-regulation and find happiness away from screens.
This parent's story beautifully captures the holistic nature of our HEUREKA curriculum. She explains how it nurtures not just the intellectual side, but also the emotional, creative, and spiritual quotients, leading to a child who is more mindful, social, and imaginative.
Parenting a toddler comes with its share of meltdowns and questions. I work with parents to understand the 'why' behind these behaviors and equip them with simple, effective routines. This parent's story shows how our approach helps nurture emotional intelligence and brings more calm and connection into the home.
This video explains how our HEUREKA curriculum, based on Harvard's Project Zero, uses the EPICS framework to nurture a child's emotional, physical, intellectual, creative, and spiritual sides. It's about developing the whole child, not just what they know.
It's amazing to watch a child's confidence grow through creative expression. This parent shares how our 'Color, Symbol, Image' thinking routine helped her son not just to draw, but to lead, experiment, and turn his ideas into a form of self-belief.
"Can a rainbow have more than seven colors?" This parent's story shows how our thinking routines encourage children to go beyond simple facts and explore possibilities. It’s how we turn natural curiosity into deep, imaginative thinking.
About this collection
Many parents come to us feeling guilty about screen time, looking for a way to break the cycle of tablets and tantrums. What they find in our HEUREKA approach is not just a list of activities, but a way to turn that restless energy into purposeful, mindful play. It is about helping your child pause, observe, and engage with the world around them.
Beyond ABCs and 123s
When we talk about the HEUREKA curriculum, we are talking about a shift in mindset. Many parents worry that their child's constant questions are a nuisance or that their restlessness is a lack of focus. We see it differently. Inspired by Harvard’s Project Zero, our approach uses visible thinking routines—like 'See, Think, Wonder' or 'Color, Symbol, Image'—to turn that curiosity into genuine confidence.
The EPICS Framework in Practice
Growth is not just about what a child knows. We focus on the EPICS model: Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, and Spiritual development. Whether it is using animal walks and yoga stories to build physical coordination or practicing gratitude circles to build a spiritual foundation, every activity is intentional. The goal is to nurture the whole child, helping them handle feelings, express ideas, and connect with others more naturally.
Real Transformations in Vidyaranyapura
Our parents share stories of children who move from clinging during drop-offs to leading in creative play. They talk about the 'lightbulb moments' when a child moves away from screens to ask a deeper question about the moon, or when they show empathy towards a sibling. These are the moments that matter.
If you are a parent looking for support, whether it is for preschool readiness or navigating behavioral milestones, we are here to walk that path with you. Our campus in Vidyaranyapura is a space for both children and parents to learn, breathe, and grow together.
