Tarapore School proudly hosted “Little Explorers” on 24th and 25th January 2025, marking Jamshedpur’s first-ever sensory exploration event designed exclusively for nursery students. Rooted in the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP), which emphasizes experiential and sensory learning in early childhood, this initiative transformed traditional learning into a multisensory adventure, igniting curiosity and creativity in young minds.
The event brought learning to life through a series of carefully curated hands-on activities that engaged children across multiple sensory dimensions—touch, sound, sight, and movement. From textured play zones and musical exploration corners to interactive light displays, water and sand tables, and movement-based activities, each experience was designed to stimulate cognitive growth, enhance motor skills, and encourage problem-solving through play.
Under the guidance of experienced teachers and facilitators, the children navigated a world of discovery in a safe and structured environment, where every interaction was an opportunity to learn through exploration. Their excitement and enthusiasm were palpable as they engaged with materials, sounds, and textures that sparked their imagination and deepened their understanding of the world around them.
Parents were welcomed to participate in the experience, offering them a glimpse into the world of sensory learning and its significance in early childhood development. Their presence fostered a strong sense of community, reinforcing the importance of collaborative learning between schools and families.
Children participated in a variety of exciting activities, including:
🔹 Canvas Painting – Inspired creativity, imagination, and self-expression through colours.
🔹 Squishy Walk – Provided a fun tactile experience while enhancing balance and coordination.
🔹 Sensory Walk – Strengthened foot muscles, body awareness, and spatial orientation.
🔹 Sand Pit – Encouraged imaginative play, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving.
🔹 Slime Land – Developed hand strength, and focus through texture exploration.
🔹 Music World – Enhanced communication skills, rhythm, and expression through sounds.
🔹 Snow World – Stimulated sensory tolerance with unique textures and temperatures.
🔹 Potato Heads – Fostered creativity, storytelling, and fine motor skills.
🔹 Bubble Snake – Encouraged deep breathing, patience, and curiosity about airflow.
🔹 Garden Giggles – Taught responsibility, fine motor skills, and a love for nature.
🔹 Farmland – Promoted role-playing, teamwork, and knowledge of farm life.
Seventeen schools joined the first day’s celebration, creating a joyful and memorable experience for children and teachers alike.

Tarapore School is proud of this overwhelming response.
