Reimagining early childhood education through movement, play, and purposeful sports learning
Bangalore, (Karnataka) [India] 30 March, 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.
