EuroKids Observes Guru Purnima to Teach Gratitude, Respect, and Reflection

Bengaluru, July 10, 2025: EuroKids Preschool, India’s foremost preschool expert, celebrated the timeless values of gratitude and respect on the occasion of Guru Purnima across 500 centres nationwide, engaging over 16000+ young learners. With heartfelt tributes to teachers and parents, the first guides in a child’s life, the celebration was thoughtfully curated to help children understand the importance of learning, guidance, and appreciation. Aligned with EuroKids’ Heureka Curriculum, based on Harvard’s Project Zero and NEP 2020, the day served as a meaningful opportunity to introduce cultural values through reflection and joyful activities.

At EuroKids, Guru Purnima is more than just a festival, it is a powerful moment of connection, helping young children begin to appreciate the role of their parents, teachers, and mentors. The day was designed to foster early expressions of gratitude, build emotional awareness, and encourage respectful relationships in the most age-appropriate and joyful manner. It also helped establish the classroom as a space not just for learning facts, but for learning values.

The celebration featured a series of engaging and creative activities. Children created handmade thank-you cards for their teachers using paper flowers and colourful drawings. In the Gratitude Circle Time, children took turns sharing who helps them learn and grow, guided gently by their teachers. Classrooms hosted Story time with Values, where teachers read simple stories of gurus and guides from Indian folklore. Some centres also held a “Little Acharyas” role-play activity where children dressed up as their teachers, delivering a fun ‘lesson’ of their own. The day concluded with a heart-warming thank-you song and a group photograph to capture the memory.

Pradnya Surve, Centre Head, EuroKids Dhayari Pune, shared her experience, Guru Purnima at EuroKids Dhayari was more than a celebration—it was a tribute to every teacher and guide who lights the path of learning. Through stories, songs, and heartfelt expressions, our little ones honoured their first Gurus with innocence and love. It was a beautiful reminder that education goes beyond books—it’s about building character, values, and culture. I’m proud to lead a team that nurtures not just minds, but hearts.
