Reimagining early childhood education through
movement, play, and purposeful sports learning
Bangalore,
30-03-2026 : Hi-Kalpaa Chain of Preschools has announced the launch of KINETIKO,
a new experiential sports curriculum designed for children aged 2 to 6 years.
Developed in collaboration with Yuzvendra Chahal, the program introduces
structured, age-appropriate sports learning into early childhood education,
bringing together Hi-Kalpaa’s experiential learning philosophy and Chahal’s
insights into foundational sports development.
Built
on the idea that movement is a critical part of early learning, KINETIKO is
designed to help children develop foundational physical skills while also
strengthening confidence, focus, and social development.
The
curriculum is structured across four developmental stages:
Level
1 – Kalpaa Explorers (2–3 years): Developing body
awareness and basic movement
Level 2 – Kalpaa Pathfinders (3–4 years): Building coordination and
balance
Level 3 – Kalpaa Trailblazers (4–5 years): Strengthening agility and
motor control
Level 4 – Kalpaa Champions (5–6 years): Introducing teamwork and game
readiness
The
program was officially launched in the presence of Yuzvendra Chahal, who joined
the Hi Kalpaa team for the unveiling of KINETIKO. During the launch, Chahal
interacted with the team, extended his support to the initiative, and shared how
sports played an important role in his own childhood. Reflecting on his early
association with sports, he spoke about how those experiences helped shape
discipline, confidence, and some of his strongest childhood memories.
Aligned
with that spirit, KINETIKO has been designed not only to introduce young
children to structured movement and sports, but also to nurture a lasting
interest in physical activity from the earliest years. The program aims to help
children build positive associations with sports, develop foundational skills,
and create core childhood memories through joyful, guided experiences.
In
addition to sports sessions, KINETIKO includes structured lesson plans,
assessment frameworks, safety guidelines, teacher training modules, and sports
event models. While the sessions will be conducted by trained professionals
across Hi Kalpaa centres, the curriculum has been shaped with Chahal’s inputs
to ensure that sports is introduced to young children in a way that is
engaging, age-appropriate, and developmentally meaningful.
KINETIKO
will also be offered as part of Hi Kalpaa’s upcoming summer camp, allowing
children to experience the curriculum through structured sports activities
during the seasonal program.
Speaking
on the launch, Shalini Sharma, Founder & CEO of Hi-Kalpaa, said:
“KINETIKO reflects our belief that early education must prepare children for
life in every sense; not just academically, but physically, emotionally, and
socially. Our collaboration with Yuzvendra Chahal has helped us shape a sports
curriculum that is development-led, joyful, and meaningful for young children,
while building habits and skills that stay with them for years to come.”
With
KINETIKO, Hi Kalpaa continues to expand its experiential approach to early
education by integrating movement and sports into the formative years in a
structured and purposeful way.
