L’avenir is not just a playschool, it is a beautiful life that has been gifted to our children who are fortunate to be a part of the family of L’avenir. L’avenir has given to the children a tremendous amount of self-confidence and self pride. It has also in the truest sense instilled the values of self-awareness and discovering one’s inner self among the children.
The inclusive and the participative games have enhanced the children’s willingness to participate and as a result they accept the fellow children very positively in social situations. The children have become fond of nature and outdoor environment because of emphasis that has been laid on physical activity. The activities at L’avenir are extremely innovative and they inspire children to be creative and imaginative.
The teachers/ didis at L’avenir defend the children against their own personal influence which inspires tremendous amount of self-trust among the children. L’avenir has balanced all activities that are significant as well as vital for the overall growth of the child. L’avenir not only guides the children but also positively shows the parents the best way in which their little one shall blossom. I must mention here that I was extremely grateful to L’avenir for the effort that was made in preparing the report summary of my child in the first quarter. As a parent, I felt very satisfied and contented when I saw that even the smallest attribute of her nature was noticed and appreciated.
L’avenir truly believes in the philosophy that was professed by Plato, that being, “Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
The day I got to know about L’avenir and the day now, close to the graduation of Chinmay from the school, not for a single day have I looked back. L’avenir has been the ideal place for our kids to be, where I could be totally relaxed while knowing that kids are in such a safe, enriching and caring environment.
Personally, the sun basking at the cafe, spending time in silence, sometimes in discussions, time spent in the course SPOC, watching the organic farming on campus, playing badminton, yummy food cooked with so much love, spending time in the shrine or the meditation hall are all experiences that I will always cherish and will always remain close to my heart.Getting in touch with even a bit of Education philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother has opened up my mind to the possibilities which are endless about perfecting oneself in all the ways possible. I don’t know how much I will be able to implement, but at least I have started seeing that possibilities are endless.
In our efforts for offering the best to our children, we have started changing for better, as the kids reflect us so honestly and we see truly a reflection of us in them, knowing ourselves better and better each day, and seeing that there is always something creative possible.Stepping up to a different school now, guided by people I met at the Gnostic Centre, I hope we are able to continue offering the best to ourselves and our kids, and hence to the world being a better place (too far fetched is it?)
One single drop of water if changes, changes the texture and purity of the whole ocean. Each drop counts, as does each person in this World.I would like to be in touch with Sunaina and the team at Gnostic for future guidance for my own self and the kids. and would be looking forward to more interactions with L’avenir, even after the session is over. This connection can never be lost.
L’avenir is like a second home for my children. It is the sort of place where parents dream of sending their children to.
It’s not just a playschool, it’s an extension of our efforts as parents of trying to bring up our children in the best possible way; instilling the right values as human beings.
L’avenir is a positive place with kind, gentle, loving souls who look after our little angels like their own. The perfect place for our tiny tots to begin their journey of hope and fulfilment.
