What we do
The Junior Hippos Program attempts to broaden horizons using books as the central medium supported by activities such as nature walks, dance, plays, songs, rhymes and films.

For example, a story like the `Jungle Book', having been read out, could be accompanied by discussions on the various animals that appear in the story. The children could watch the film, learn the songs from the film, go on a walk and identify familiar flora and fauna and landscape. The ways in which to exploit a book are endless and only limited by the imagination. Children will be encouraged to be spontaneous and use their own imagination, coming up with their own activities, songs and rhymes.

The other aspect of the Junior Hippos program is to sensitize children to the world around them and their place in it. Themes like Me, My Environment and My Community are introduced to inculcate a strong self of self without losing sight of the well-being of the community.

The Junior Hippos Program welcomes children of 4 to 7 years.
