When we decided to finally take our 'Rythym Progra

When we decided to finally take our 'Rythym Program' online for our kids, we had cold feet; as the biggest challenge was to meet the expectations of our kids & their parents. To get along, maintaining the right balance and not affecting the essence of Candy Club.

But, the anxiety fizzed off, the moment our children reunited with their teacher. They made us believe in our own saying once again, that; 'Candy Club is not just a place, its a thought, its a circle of love, affection & compassion, it;'s a belief of saving childhoods and letting children be children, making learning a treat, always!' Alhamdullilah

Ever since the pandemic began, children around the

Ever since the pandemic began, children around the world are the ones missing out the most. Their learning & nurturing socially, emotionally, physically has been a challenge. Educationists around have been trying to team up, doing their best coming up with different and innovative strategies to overcome the loss, which may or may not work.

We too have been discussing with schools for the little ones like us, sharing ideas, brainstorming for better results. Nature-based schools like Candy Club, would not want to play a role in increasing the screen habit of children, as it would be more damaging in the longer run, than development. Therefore, initially, we refrained online sessions for children and started on with ‘Candy Club Online’ for parents to learn and later have some activity-based learning with their children at home.
As the time is passing by and the schools seem to be closed for long now, we thought of improvising the idea of online sessions, where there can be a balance between online sessions and the essence of nature-based learning as much as possible.
We use the 'Rhythm' method in school for developing our daily activities and learning material. We are going to help parents adopt the rhythm to provide a structure for time creating Candy Club moments at home; so that your children can feel secure in knowing what to expect. With a sense of our ‘Rhythm program’, you can move throughout days with alternating activities of inward focus and outward focus, much like the rhythm of breathing, inhaling, and exhaling.

We know this can never be a replacement of your child's physical presence in Candy Club, but following 'Candy Club's Rhythm Program' is an effort by our team trying to bring home an enriching source of development and joy which would fly your children to Candy Club through the color-filled rainbow of happiness & positivity that always surrounds us!

Yesterday we received a message on Candy Club Scho

Yesterday we received a message on Candy Club School's online portal from one the parents; the parent was amazed by the belief her little one has in Candy Club School.

The parent had randomly asked her child a question:

Mama: "What happens in the fortress when you are not going to school Hania?" Hania: "There are angels making Candy Club more beautiful and lovable for all the kids, so we can play & bake. Also teacher showed us the E for eggs of the D for ducks, they will hatch and we will have baby ducks!". The message was really heart melting for all of us & so much motivating for the entire team of Candy Club, as the belief of our children is actually true!

The team has really been on toes since day one of the lock down. Staying at home yet connected via internet, we have been trying different and new domains to keep the kids and parents engaged. The academic team is busy planning & scheduling the coming year with more learning through play and fun, trying to prepare a planner more enriching than ever. The facilitators are busy developing more activities and are developing their abilities with different online courses provided by the school, the management has taken charge of being a production team creating online content & they are having a ball! breaking the stereotype of boring educationists by turning themselves into online presenters for fun learning.

All this enthusiasm and the optimistic approach of the entire team and Candy Club #parentscommunity is what makes us stand strong together for the little ones. As a school this is our biggest achievement that kids don't fear the school but miss it everyday & #love #dreaming about joining it back everyday!

Stay safe everyone!
Warm regards,
#CandyClub

hile we let our little forest nurture to its best with popping mushrooms & ruling animals; the team worked around with a pinch of belief, not wasting any moment & trying to use it to start off something which can benefit the society somehow. It has been really tricky, confused and a difficult situation for the team working from different ends. Here we are with the test run!

Does your child weave?

Integrating fun & learning together is always a great way of development for children; specially in their early years.
There is a huge list of the benefits of weaving in the early years of children, the list increase if additional learning points are integrated but without spoiling the fun!

At Candy Club creativity is the freest form of self-expression. We make sure there is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling for #children than to be able to express themselves openly & without being judged. Their creative ability, the urge to create something from personal feelings and experiences, can reflect & #nurture children's #emotional health. The experiences children have during their early years of life can significantly enhance the development of their creativity.

Q) What makes Candy Club so #warm and #welcoming for #kids ?

A) We just don't say, but actually believe in having no barriers. At Candy Club, everyone is always involved with the kids. It doesn't matter if your are the director, principal, teacher etc. its always about the kids. We make sure we let #children be children making every moment of #learning a treat for them.

At #CandyClub #School there are so many great reasons to introduce your children to the joy of #learning and development of multiple #skills through #nature and #play !

Here, everyday there is something new to learn with new and different experiences.
Today, finally after the wait of six weeks, we introduced our little #puppies to the kids. 'Scuffy' & 'Pumba' are the first born of our beloved school #dog 'Bella'. Owning and being around a dog, while the kids learn through play helps children’s self-esteem, help them learn responsibility and help them #nurture even better and develop #empathy.
Parents are often concerned about the health hazards of their kids being around dogs or any other pets.
Playing around daily with a dog or any pet animals have its health benefits. Studies have shown that #children who spend the early years of their life exposed to animals have lower risk of developing allergies and asthma as they get older.

At #CandyClub we 'Enhance learning & develop skills in children through nature & play! And this is something we are proud of.

Founder's diary: " Six years from now, I used to wake up early in the morning around 5:00am travel around 30 miles, right in the mid of no-where, trying to literally build a space only for kids, all by myself.
A cup of #coffee, #hammers , #nails and #bamboos were my only partners there, where I was trying hard to stand still for all, making learning a treat, with a vision in mind & a belief connecting heart to it.

Mainting a 'to-do' list was a seperate task and therefore eliminating all the 'comas' between 'think, plan, execute' was a daily thing. The work machine and the programmer was the same, had no options.

We are a team now, that stands strong and tall for the same vision.
Everything is the same, just the planted seed is growing into a tree & I can finally find the peace to enjoy watch it grow!

It pays off everyday!
Candy Club has been a journey, a part of my life and now love for many!
Hats-off to the entire family of #CandyClub for making it real!

No wonder #gratitude makes you stronger.

Alhamdullilah for everything! "

Candy Club School encourages children to involve w

Candy Club School encourages children to involve with animals through play while taking care & understanding them. Individuals who interact with animals in their childhood on regular basis have improved social skills. For children their pets are like humans, they try to relate with their pets as they would with their age mates, it helps in building a higher self-esteem. An environment where they are surrounded by free un-caged animals not only nurtures their skills but also develops a caring attitude towards living things and show improved empathy.

Ms. Maheen is a young Early Childhood Educator who joined Candy Club 2 years back. Candy Club is the only forest school in Pakistan which is inspired by Waldorf Early Childhood Education with a nature based curriculum. Candy Club encourages young individuals as their ECE with proper and timely training. Their fresh minds and their ability to understand innovative and challenging methods of Waldorf early childhood education is the key to success. Ms. Maheen, was hired after a very interesting interview where she mentioned her passion for working toward kids and took over the entire moment with her empathy for special children. After a successful demo of handling students of mixed ages and special needs, the exceptions were high though were from a youngster, but we knew she would do it.
In Pakistan people have no or less clue about early childhood education, Waldorf Education & nature based learning. We kept observing her for a month; with positive team feedback, parent reviews & the way all little fellows of the school responded to her made us realize she will be holding a great place in the school. It took her just six months to climb up the ladders from being a helping facilitator to the lead one and then as the coordinator of our junior block.
Her skills of helping and dealing children, understanding skill based projects, farming, dealing with animals in our little forest, keeping the team aligned and understanding the concerns of special needs children made her shine among all.
Having a high demand from the parents committee Ms. Maheen was promoted to the post of Co-coordinator Admissions & Pre-School within the next year.
Young age educator is a stigma here in Pakistan; she defied the odds and the entire team of Candy Club supported the efforts and awarded the deserving. We believe she should be recognized and her efforts should spread around in countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan etc where youngsters, specially female youngsters are considered to be of no use and are never trusted with responsibilities. She is an emblem of excellence and achievement for them and a motivation for breakthrough.

‘Honk-honk’, “pls move, I need to park my #L

‘Honk-honk’, “pls move, I need to park my #Lamborghini !” exclaimed Ayyan, while I was busy with a parent, who was there for a visit.
I excused the parent, apologized to Ayyan, praised the yellow color of his car & asked him; “What are you upto”? “You know Bilal, he isn’t coming to the sand area with me, he is busy in the #forestkitchen baking those golden potatoes we found yesterday & I am going to help him; so we finish early & then he can join me in the sand area”, he replied.
Full of curiosity, I asked him “Why don’t you park your car there too?” “Scratches lag jaenge na!” he exclaimed & walked away.

I turned to the parent, while he was noticing the scene, he instantly praised #CandyClub for catering the special child. “All children are special & differently abled. Referring to the typical meaning of a #specialchild, even then, Ayyan is not labeled as one”. I replied.

The parent said, “the child we are talking about has an oblivious approach to reality, there is no car here & no golden potatoes, this might not be the best strategy to handle children or approach to nurture children”. “Not be the best approach but definitely it is the purest! We don't have any strategies to handle children, cox we do not handle children. It’s the environment that does. Instead of hindering & hampering the cognation of children we rather are a part of the beautiful world they see & visualize around them, we believe in the power of individuality & support them in their choices & decisions. Strategies are made by individuals to follow specific paths. We let the children create their own paths. They have their own way of creating their own miracles. You just need to stop teaching them & gel in the circle of nurturing & learning with them. We are here to help them as their workers in their process of creating miracles; we at Candy Club are called the #miracleworkers ”. I replied.

Before one of us could blink, Ayyan popped in again “Aur mere gari yellow nahi hai, light yellow hai!” The term 'Education' is misunderstood & misused.

P.s. Ayyan is a 4 year old a pre-schooler at Candy Club #PlaySchool & I am the founder of the same, Ussama RQ.

When the ground thaws and the first crocuses appear, so do our forest plants and seeds. Gloves, shovels, buckets, and watering cans draw a child’s attention like bees to honey. Kids love to get out in the dirt and help the forest grow denser and greener!

Encouraging & developing 'Environmental gratitude'

Encouraging & developing 'Environmental gratitude' into kids require time, effort, commitment, and consistency & most of all a bundle of love & empathy.

The same principles apply when its about returning to the nature by keeping our environment clean; let the kids feel & understand it, let them live it.

As with many skills that parents & Candy Club facilitators seek to nurture children for, the earlier the learning begins, the sooner they will begin to consistently act.

Alhamdullilah, we are done with our Camps for this

Alhamdullilah, we are done with our Camps for this season, with amazing 20 crazy & messy days full of fun, giggles & naughty little fellows jumping & dancing all over the place!

Referring to the question, 'What makes Candy Club Summer Camp No.1 all over Karachi?' Our plans & activities may sound similar at times; as we grow & appreciate when we are able to inspire someone. Similarly we feel happy & excited to learn something new when we are inspired.

But one thing that makes Candy Club different & no.1 all over Karachi is; our 'little loving Candy Club Family'. It’s a set of enthusiastic & emotional people, with golden hearts, the courage of feeling & understanding how to work for the little ones. It’s the honesty in the intentions, the love for kids & compassion, the crazy energy & enthusiasm, the belief in the vision & mission.
While many wanted to rest in the scorching heat of Ramadan and after it, Candy Club Family was up on their toes, never complaining about fasting, making the camps full of enriching and nurturing activities! Because it’s ‘How you do it’ is equally important to ‘What you do’. We always have just one thing in mind; children walking out of Candy Club should be happy and should learn something new every day.
After all it’s all about working for the next generation.

Thank you everyone for supporting and believing in us!
Keep sending prayers & love to us, so we get more power towards ours vision.

Love,
Candy Club Family.

Inclusive education means that all students attend

Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighborhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school.

Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and activities so that all students learn and participate together.

Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students by effectively meeting their diverse needs in a way that is responsive, accepting, respectful and supportive. Students participate in the education program in a common learning environment with support to diminish and remove barriers and obstacles that may lead to exclusion.

A child's imagination is a powerful and unique thing. It's not only used to make up stories and games, it's a key factor in their creative thoughts and can define the type of education, career and life they have. With this imagination comes a cultural literacy; fairy tales often include different cultures and ways of doing things. They teach children about cultural differences in the world outside their own gifting them a curiosity to learn new things and experience new places.
