It’s time to put on your Patiala or Kurta Payjama as we celebrate Lohri , the Festival of Harvest! In honor of the holiday, we’ll be lighting up (pretend) bonfires throughout The City ! This celebration of togetherness and gratitude will surely warm your heart as special guests tell us all about their traditions from the Punjab region of India!

Purpose Behind the Play: Social and emotional development, number concepts, cultural diversity, language and concept development.

The Color of Warmth > An artistic exploration of the colors of fire.
The Natural Feel of The World > Our sensory table will be filled with natural materials for your child to touch and discover.

Music & Movement (2:30 PM): Our young friends from the Dhwani Dance Academy are here to put on a special, Lohri performance!
