Parent Education Evening
Our very own, Ms. Janani hosted Parent Education Evening on February 7th. She spoke about cultivating creativity in our children. Studies show that the rapid decline in creativity in our children has been detrimental to them. Ms. Janani talked about the reasons for the decline, the importance of protecting it and ways to nurture it.
