Over the years, Child’s Play India has been featured in many national and international publications. In the past few months, we have been written about in The Hindu newspaper, which is a national newspaper widely read across the country. This brought us a fair bit of attention in South India, which was quite exciting!
We were also featured in the August 2019 edition of Reader’s Digest! Read the story here.
We were also surprised to learn that an article about us was in the Gujarati Samachar in July 2019!

Our 4th Annual Christmas Concert features traditional Christmas music which are always fun and appreciated by the audience. This year, we’re also showcasing some special developments. For the first time, our concert will not have one of our teachers as the concert-master, but it will be led by two of our senior students – Irfan and Natsalene. They will also be the soloists in Vivaldi’s Concerto in A Minor and we are all very proud of them and are wishing them all the best for this milestone. If you’re in Goa on December 17, please come and applaud their progress!
Our Monsoon concert 2017 was a success with over 45 children and teachers participating. The children played ensemble music, solos and duets, which were hugely appreciated by the audience. Here are some images from the concert. More to come!
So proud of our kids! You can watch and hear them in this video of the INK talks event in Goa in September 2016.
