It’s not just a classroom - it’s a place where kids can be themselves, make mistakes, and grow. I love seeing shy kids turn into chatterboxes, and watching old students come back to help the new ones. That’s the kind of vibe we have - everyone’s part of the family. ### What Makes Our Space Special - Morning prayers and gratitude set a calm tone for the day. - Cozy corners for reading, chatting, and making friends. - Creative nooks where imaginations run wild - messy hands, happy hearts! - Small group toddler classes mean every child gets noticed. ### How We Learn - Early childhood play-based learning is at the heart of everything. Kids don’t even realize they’re learning - it’s all games, stories, and crafts. - Storytime isn’t boring here. I use puppets, silly voices, and crafts to bring tales to life. - Hands-on preschool activities like lacing, dough, and puzzles build fine motor skills. - We jump, balance, and hop to boost gross motor skills. - Phonics, numbers, and shapes are introduced through play - no pressure, just fun. ### Who Fits In - Kids aged 2 and up. - We keep groups small (1:8 ratio) so everyone gets attention. - Centers at Marine Drive and Malabar Hill.

Started Happy Kidds with just one kid - now, hundreds of families, wow. I’m a child psychologist, BBijal’s a communication coach, but honestly, we’re just two folks who love seeing kids find their spark. Our place feels more like home than a classroom. The best part? Watching our tiny tots grow up, come back, and teach the new batch. Full circle, and man, it’s magic. ### My work - **Speech & Drama, Communication, Dance, Storytelling, Trinity Exam Prep**: We run classes for kids from toddlers to teens - speech, drama, creative movement, storytelling, and Trinity College London exam prep. - **Confidence Building**: We help shy kids stand tall. It’s not just acting, it’s prepping them for life. - **Feels Like Home**: Kids feel safe here. Parents say it’s like a second home, a space for friendships and big talks. - **Fun Learning**: Mime, dance, art, group chats - our sessions are all about laughter, imagination, and creativity. ## More services from Happy Kidds - [Speech & Drama](https://mytribe.in/happykidds06/speech-drama) · ₹400-900 per session (estimate) - [Creative Dance and Movement](https://mytribe.in/happykidds06/creative-dance-and-movement) · ₹450-1,200 per child per session (estimate) ## Book To book Happy Kidds, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Toddler%20%26%20Preschool%20Playgroup%20by%20Happy%20Kidds.)
