We are excited to share with you the exuberant festivities that took place at HCMC during our recent celebration of Holi, the “festival of colours.” On Friday, March 22nd, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant traditions of this cherished Indian festival.
At HCMC, we embraced its lively traditions to create a memorable experience for our children. The essence of Holi lies in its vivid hues and joyous celebrations, providing us with a perfect opportunity to share the richness of Indian culture with our community.
Throughout the day, our children engaged in a variety of activities designed to celebrate the joy of colours while providing valuable learning experiences. From experimenting with safe and non-toxic colours to exploring the sensory and creative dimensions of colour play, our children honed their skills while gaining insights into the properties of different colours.
Interactive storytelling sessions and visits from parents, such as Bhaavya’s mother Sonam and Bhaavya’s Grandmother, who shared their family traditions for Holi, enriched our children’s understanding of the festival’s significance and history. These activities not only nurtured language development and social-emotional skills but also empowered our children to embrace diversity with respect and understanding.
Dance played a central role in our Holi celebrations, providing children and parents alike with an opportunity to groove to traditional Holi songs and express themselves through movement. This fostered gross motor skill development and coordination while creating an atmosphere of joyous camaraderie and celebration.
Our festivities were further elevated by art and craft activities, allowing children to unleash their creativity by crafting their own Holi decorations and props. This enhanced their fine motor skills and cultural awareness, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the celebrations.
As our service transformed into a kaleidoscopic wonderland, children, parents, and families came together to partake in a diverse array of activities, including colour runs, music, dance, art and craft, sensory play, and water play. The footprints of colour adorning our service served as a vibrant symbol of unity and joy, encapsulating the spirit of Holi and the celebration of our vibrant and diverse community here at HCMC.
We are grateful to all the parents who joined us in making this celebration a truly memorable one. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for embracing cultural diversity at HCMC.
