About University Creche
The Creche of Central University of Haryana is an activity-based early childhood learning centre where your child will play, explore, learn, and grow in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment. Trained women caregivers look after every child with warmth and attention, while structured activities support your child's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development.
We invite you to read through this page to learn everything about our Creche — from admission eligibility to daily schedules — and enroll your child with us.
🎯 WHAT WE OFFER YOUR CHILD
Every day at the Creche, your child will have opportunities for:
- Creative expression — open-ended play, storytelling, theatre, music, and visual arts
- Mindfulness and emotional growth — age-appropriate reflective activities, breathing exercises, and yoga-based practices
- Rooted in Indian values — our approach draws from traditions such as Gurukul, Lok-avidya, and Jeevan Vidya to foster ethical sensibility, experiential learning, and a sense of harmony
We believe every child is inherently capable and unique. Our caregivers encourage self-expression, problem-solving, cooperation, and confidence — helping each child grow at their own pace.
