Mothercare School

As part of Rakshabandhan, learning to build a relationship with Mother Earth.

Do and Learn.

All about seeds, sprouting, sowing, potting, manure, watering, nurturing and taking responsibility.

I’m totally engrossed involved because when I do things myself I enjoy I’m happy.

So proud and happy I can do this too.

Mothercare School kids plucking organically grown tomatoes in the school campus and making  yummylicious juice and soup and having it too. Children learnt so many new words while doing these healthy and tasty activities like, plucking, squashing, cutting, slicing, mixing, cooking etc. We are sure most of our children are perhaps the first in their families to ever get the joy of plucking fresh vegetables from a garden and that too grown organically also using them fresh and full of vitamins. We wish parents could see how much their kids enjoyed tomato juice.

Marching to the garden to harvest fresh vegetables.

Is there a better way for me to know the names of vegetables?

Experiencing the joy of making tomato juice and soup themselves and then tasting them too.

How we love our fresh tomato juice.

Children are having workshops on Ecology and Environment  with the onset of the rainy season and school reopening after summer vacation.They are learning how to grow plants and take care of them.

First day of plantation...Ist step

2nd day...children excited to see their green seed sprouts...their roots (white straws) have started eating and drinking

Starting early, our Toddlers learning to pick neem seeds, helping prepare the beds and sow them. They will watch them sprout, see the sapling grow under their care. Of course that will only happen when they water them, tend to them with love and responsibility. Mothercare School Neem Plant Bank is a gift from our children to the city of Lucknow. All this is part of our workshop on Environment and Ecology conducted in July, August and September with varied kinds of associated activities.

Children have been collecting neem seeds, saplings and sowing and transplanting them since the monsoons began.
