EuroKids, India’s foremost preschool expert, announces the launch of its 8th version of the curriculum, ‘Heureka’, the Visible Thinking Curriculum on 27th September at Taj Vivanta, Race Course, Coimbatore.
The Program is inspired by Harvard University’s Project Zero and aligned with the National Education Policy 2020’s vision for comprehensive development, Heureka is curated to enhance young learners’ critical and creative thinking skills.
As part of EuroKids’ ambitious growth strategy, the preschool network announced its plan to expand its presence in Coimbatore and across Tamil Nadu. EuroKids plans to open 210 new centres in the state within the next 5 years and targets reaching 300 centres in Tamil Nadu, enhancing the quality of early education in the state.
Eurokids, the leader in Early Education, recognises the need for high-quality early education, so it keeps updating its curriculum.
Heureka represents a significant shift from teaching children “what” to think to empower them with the ” how ” skills to think. This curriculum introduces 20 structured Harvard-inspired Thinking Routines that spark curiosity, foster imagination, and cultivate critical thinking in young minds, ensuring that children are not merely absorbing information but are actively engaging with it in a way that fosters deeper understanding and creativity.
Developed over 18 months of rigorous research, pilot testing, and refinement, Heureka is anchored by the EPICS philosophy, addressing five core areas of development that are often overlooked in the education systems – Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, and Spiritual quotients.
The pillars of the curriculum are the 13 distinct programs (CodeQuest, EuroKonect, EuroFit, EuroArt, Elevate, and many more) that are tailored to each child’s learning journey to prepare them not only for academic success but also for lifelong personal growth.
Announcing the launch of the curriculum, KVS Seshasai, CEO, Pre-K Division (EuroKids), Lighthouse Learning, said, “At EuroKids, we believe in laying the foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing curiosity and critical thinking from as early as two years old.
Dr Anita Madan, Head Curriculum Development, designed Heureka to be the most innovative curriculum in the early childhood Care and Education space. Our holistic approach ensures that children are not just prepared for school but for life, equipped with the skills to navigate an ever-evolving world. We are excited to see how this curriculum will shape the thinkers, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow. With this new curriculum, we are keen to further strengthen our presence in Coimbatore and Tamil Nadu overall.”
Commenting on the launch of the curriculum, Dr. Anita Madan, Head of Curriculum Development, EuroKids, said, “Heureka is a transformative approach to early education. With the EPICS framework, we’re not just focusing on Intellectual Quotient (IQ) but fostering a well-rounded development that includes emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual quotients. We want to encourage children to not only answer the question but also question the answers. This shift cultivates curiosity, critical analysis, and a deeper connection with the world around them. More than academic preparation, Heureka is about fostering a mindset where children are empowered to make connections, solve problems, and engage with the world in meaningful ways.”
Aligned with NEP 2020, which emphasizes holistic development inspired by the ancient Indian concept of Panchakosha or the ‘five sheaths’ of human existence, Heureka integrates these principles into its educational approach. EuroKids is also enhancing its HomeBuddy app to complement the curriculum, offering enriched interactive content to support cognitive development while maintaining balanced screen time.
