When summer arrives, working parents are often faced with a critical decision: how to ensure their child is engaged, safe, and growing - even when school is out. It's not just about keeping children occupied; it's about creating a meaningful environment where they can explore, play, and learn with joy. At Periwinkle Preschool in Srinagar and Banashankari, Bangalore, we understand that today's parents seek more than just a routine daycare - they seek a place where their children are nurtured, stimulated, and encouraged to blossom. Our summer camp is not a break from learning, but a continuation of it in a more playful, creative, and flexible format, designed especially with the modern family in mind.

Every element of our program is intentionally curated to offer something beyond the ordinary. At Periwinkle, summer isn't just a season - it's a season of possibilities. From the moment a child enters our camp, they step into an environment where culture meets creativity, and every day is an opportunity for new discovery. We understand that every parent wants their child to be safe and happy, but also meaningfully engaged in activities that support their development. That's why we have designed a camp that offers the best of both worlds - fun-filled experiences that also contribute to your child's growth.

Celebrating Culture Through Creativity: Warli-Inspired Art and Craft

One of the highlights of our camp is the integration of Warli art, a tribal form of expression that introduces children to cultural heritage through creative exploration. This isn't your usual arts and crafts session. Through simple geometric patterns and symbolic storytelling, children not only develop fine motor skills and creativity but also connect with India's vibrant artistic traditions. These sessions encourage observation, imagination, and personal expression, while introducing young learners to the deeper idea that art can communicate stories, values, and history. It's a beautiful blend of cultural awareness and hands-on creativity - something that adds meaning to their craft time.

Activities Tailored to Suit Each Age and Stage

Children of different ages require different types of engagement - and we get that. Our camp structure is not one-size-fits-all. We thoughtfully plan age-appropriate activities that resonate with the developmental stage of each group. For toddlers, it may be about exploring textures and sounds, while for preschoolers, it's about discovering new challenges, collaborating in games, and expressing themselves more confidently. We pay close attention to ensuring that every activity aligns with where a child is in their learning journey, offering just the right amount of challenge and comfort to keep them interested and encouraged.

A Gentle Start for Our Youngest Campers

For our littlest participants, the idea of joining a camp might feel overwhelming at first. That's why we emphasize a gentle settling-in process, where toddlers are given time to adjust at their own pace. We understand how emotional the first few days can be for both parents and children. Our experienced staff are warm, attentive, and responsive to each child's cues, creating a space where toddlers feel secure and cared for. With familiar routines, calm transitions, and lots of reassurance, even first-timers begin to feel right at home. This careful and sensitive approach lays a strong foundation for independence and social confidence.

Summer Camp + Daycare with a Thoughtful Touch

For working parents, time and peace of mind are invaluable. Our summer camp, combined with extended daycare services, ensures that your child receives comprehensive care from morning till evening. This includes healthy routines, balanced activity schedules, rest time, and most importantly - nutritious food options. We know that food is a big concern for many parents, and we take great care to offer meals that are both wholesome and child-friendly. From the moment you drop your child off to when you pick them up, you can rest assured that they are not just being looked after, but being nourished - body, mind, and heart.

Brain Gym: Movement That Fuels Learning

One of the most distinctive features of our summer camp is the integration of Brain Gym activities - a set of simple, movement-based exercises designed to improve cognitive functions. These sessions are fun and energetic, yet incredibly impactful. By stimulating both sides of the brain, Brain Gym helps children enhance their concentration, memory, and coordination. It supports the development of foundational learning skills like attention, listening, and problem-solving - all through movement and play. Parents often notice an improvement in their child's ability to focus and process information more efficiently, even outside of the classroom. It's a subtle but powerful way of helping children build readiness for future academic success.

Role-Play That Brings Stories to Life

Every child loves a good story - but at Periwinkle, we don't just tell stories, we live them through role play. Our story narration sessions are dynamic and interactive, allowing children to step into the shoes of the characters they hear about. This approach helps them develop language, expression, and emotional understanding, all while having loads of fun. More importantly, it gives them a voice. Whether it's pretending to be a tree in a forest or a wise old animal, these moments become powerful tools for self-discovery and confidence building. The joy of storytelling, when paired with imagination, leaves a lasting impression that no screen or toy can replace.

Games That Engage, Teach, and Entertain

Our camp days are filled with a healthy mix of indoor and outdoor games, tailored to balance energy and creativity. Outdoor play encourages movement, social skills, and resilience, while indoor games, such as board games and collaborative tasks, build critical thinking, patience, and teamwork. We intentionally rotate activities to keep things fresh and challenging. Each session is an opportunity for children to learn how to win with humility, lose with grace, and enjoy the process more than the outcome. These are not just games - they are life lessons in disguise.

A Calm and Centered Start to Each Day

Children thrive when their mornings begin with intention and peace. That's why each day at our camp opens with a short yet meaningful routine involving songs, yoga, and shloka chanting. This helps children center themselves, build focus, and develop early mindfulness habits. Yoga supports flexibility and balance, while shlokas introduce rhythm, language, and cultural resonance. These moments set a calm tone for the day ahead and reinforce inner discipline - important qualities for growing minds and bodies. It's not about perfection, but about introducing children to the joy of calm, movement, and sound.

Periwinkle Summer Camp: More Than a Place - An Experience
