Hobbies play a significant role in a child’s life, fostering the acquisition of valuable skills that can be applied from kindergarten to professional life and beyond. By engaging in hobbies, children learn to navigate everyday situations and express themselves through their talents as they grow older. At MERU, our aim is to support and nurture a child’s genuine and sustained interest in a particular hobby.

Hobbies should be enjoyable, uplifting a child’s mood while instilling confidence in their abilities and talents. Engaging in a hobby allows children to enhance their skills and contribute to their cognitive development. It provides an avenue for exercising their minds and bodies, offering a break from the academic stress they may face.

The benefits of hobbies are manifold: Nurture creativity: Hobbies encourage children to explore their creative side, fostering imagination and originality. Encourage teamwork: Many hobbies involve collaboration and teamwork, teaching children the importance of working together towards a common goal. Provide a feeling of accomplishment: Progressing in a hobby and achieving milestones brings a sense of fulfillment and boosts self-esteem. Build social skills: Engaging in hobbies allows children to interact with peers who share similar interests, enhancing their social skills and building friendships. Develop time management: Balancing academic responsibilities with hobbies teaches children the importance of managing their time effectively. Build key life skills: Hobbies instill important life skills such as perseverance, discipline, problem-solving, and adaptability.

At MERU, we offer a wide range of hobby choices, providing our students with the opportunity to choose and excel in extracurricular activities that align with their interests and passions. We believe in empowering children by allowing them to explore and develop their talents in areas they are truly passionate about.
