Story Matters
JOY OF BOOKS THROUGH STORIES
Age : 3 to 5 Years
Duration : 1 Hour
Location : Green Park
AGE GROUP:
3 – 12 years
At Learning Matters, we believe children must experience joy while
learning. The Enrichment Programme has been established for children
to enjoy their childhood. It is an after-school offering for children
between the ages of 3 to 12 years.
We offer several experiences to enable children to think, learn and find
joy through diverse modalities. Based on best practices, our
enrichment programmes are designed to address the diverse ways in
which children express themselves and learn about the world around
them.
Our Approach
Dance, art, cooking, music and movement, storytelling and puppetry are
some of our offerings. We ensure that the programmes are designed
and curated keeping the developmental level and interests of each
child. Our emphasis is on providing a holistic and joyful experience,
and hence the focus is on the process of engagement, instead of the
end product.
This programme allows us to collaborate with accomplished artists,
musicians, dancers, etc from the community to participate with us in
ensuring developmentally appropriate offerings.
This programme for children is offered at both our locations, at Green
Park, Delhi and Max Towers, Noida.

Art of Food
EXPLORING ART THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION
Age : 3 to 5 Years
Time : 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Location : Green Park
Children grow to understand how ingredients laden
with smells, textures, tastes, flavours, volumes,
weights and size come together. The richness of the
experience is nourishing for the body and the mind.
A significant factor to enjoying what you eat is
knowing what you eat. For children, to make their
own food as empowering as an adult having learnt
to drive.
Art of Food Programme builds:
- An understanding of physical concepts (such
as volume, viscosity, density) - Language skills
- Concepts of number sense, estimation,
measurement - Discernment of colour, texture and form
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Procedural memory
- Ability to savour, relish and appreciate food
- Confidence to serve others through food
In a world with sensory overload, books offer respite to our
children. Reading Club offers children the opportunity to
engage with rich text filled with fantastic characters,
unthinkable experiences and unfathomable experiences.
We encourage young readers to discover great books, great
authors, share new stories, explore important contemporary
and historical settings. Reading Club enables a culture of
open discussion, introspection on how books relate to their
own experiences, and of respecting each other’s views.
Reading Club benefits the Children :
- Through enactment and read aloud
experiences - Plot appreciation through journal writing
- Debates around book themes
- In the past, we have read ‘See You in
Cosmos’ by Jack Cheng and ‘The Last Bear’

Art Matters
EXPLORING ART THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION
Age : 3 to 5 Years
Duration : 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Location : Max Towers
Children express themselves and their ideas in many
ways. Art is a universal language that allows us to
express and develop our ideas and emotions; artistic
engagements are full of processes that help us to
grow and stimulate our creativity while nurturing
brain development. Art Matters encourages children
to explore different colours, materials and mediums
in organic and open-ended ways. It is the process of
exploration, discovery and expression that is at the
heart of Art Matters.
Why does Art Matter for young children?
- Enhances joy
- Encourages self-expression
- Experimentation and learning
- Builds fine motor skills
- Learning through social interactions
- Develops verbal-linguistic language
- Develops aesthetic sensibilities
Movement Matters
EXPLORING ART THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION
Age : 3 to 5 Years
Duration : 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Location : Max Towers
Play a tune for a toddler, and you will see them wiggle their
bums in joy. Children learn to speak with their bodies long
before they learn to speak using words. Throughout the
early years, children are learning to do new things with their
bodies.
Though Movement Matters, young children learn that
movement can communicate messages and represent
actions. They learn to communicate and recognize
pantomimed actions to show a range of emotions and
actions. Movement also allows children to build an
awareness of their bodies – increasing their coordination,
balance, and stamina.
Benefits of Movement Matters :
- Increased strength, endurance and fitness
- Better coordination, agility, and balance
- Improved spatial awareness
- Improved general and psychological well
being
- Greater self-confidence
- Improved mental dexterity
- Better social skills
