Activities At Leens
Leens Nestling believes in exposing a child to an assortment of programs and activities in a day to keep their minds stimulated, for the all-around development of mind, body, and soul. These programs affect playful learning and a cheerful environment for the child to grow.
1. Special Assemblies
The Leens Nestling Special Assemblies are one of a kind in the whole world. Every day a topic or story is chosen to be enacted by the Leens Nestling team. The skits and plays transform the kid’s world into a fairytale, Underworld Ocean, solar system, a beautiful garden, or a jungle. These skits and plays help to fix a child’s attention to a particular topic without the harmful effects of a television or computer screen. The skits also encourage children’s participation thereby providing them the much-needed exposure for public speaking and polishing their oratory skills.
2. Story Sessions
Stories and childhood are an inseparable pair. Kids cherish stories be it mealtime, bedtime, travel, or just like that. Stories hide in their messages, morals, lessons, knowledge, and imagination which together amalgamate into loads of fun. Leens Nestling story sessions are designed to stimulate the young mind and ignite their imagination.
3. Yoga Class and sports
A healthy mind needs a healthy body. The practice of the ancient art form of yoga teaches kids to control their minds and be the boss of their bodies. Yoga helps the kids learn to balance and use their energies more effectively. On the other hand physical activity stimulates growth and leads to improved physical and emotional health. And because exercise improves health, a fit child is more likely to be well-rested and mentally sharp. Even moderate physical activity has been shown to improve a child’s skill at arithmetic, reading, and memorization.

5.Games
Many people today are better equipped than ever before to deal with life’s challenges and difficulties. We live longer, enjoy more leisure time, and have access to the world’s knowledge at the touch of a button.
But children are spending less time playing physically, mixing with different generations, creating imaginary games, and interacting with parents. Many are becoming socially isolated because their leisure time is spent in front of a computer or television. They are losing the ability to empathize, to communicate, and to read emotional language. Here at Leens Nestling, we introduce games that were a common part of the older generations. When the Tablets and -iPhones were absent the imagination was full on and it gave rise to hundreds of games involving the neighborhood kids. Games such as Oranges & lemon, Ice & water, catch the Thief, musical chairs, ludo, carom, etc are a daily part of a child’s life at Leens Nestling. These games help the children develop their social skills, physical development, and problem-solving skills and also fill their childhood with love, laughter, and millions of memories. The games are woven into the curriculum in such a way as to make learning more fun.
