PAPAGOYA KINDERGARTEN

Papagoya is a play-centric learning space that follows the Norwegian Kindergarten Framework for the pre-primary years and incorporates the Pedagogy of Play Framework in its School.Papagoya is an extension of a life lived in Norway. Exposed to a very progressive Scandinavian way of life where women represent 40% of all Board seats, men take pride in going on Paternity Leave and toddlers grow to be confident, independent and gentle little people - created much intrigue over what is the key contributor to such a balanced scandinavian life. The common thread that allows for all of this to happen seamlessly, is the Norwegian Kindergarten. And so the thought, why can’t this be so, even in India? Papagoya is our endeavour to create a safe and welcoming environment for children where they are met with the recognition and respect for who they truly are. It is our space where we can appreciate the intrinsic value of childhood. This is our effort at supporting working parents and particularly mothers, to pursue their ambitions and passions. Where we hope to encourage true gender equality and see more involved fathers. Papagoya is our long-term dream to influence early childhood practices in India. This is our way of making an impact, by creating an ecosystem that supports the new Indian parent and child. ​
