About Shivani

A psychologist who believes childhood is never just a phase

I'm Shivani Mahajan — a Child Psychologist and Early Childhood Development Specialist. My work begins with a simple conviction: a child who feels emotionally safe learns faster, attaches better, and grows more fully into who they are meant to be.

The day care I run isn't childminding. It's a professionally designed developmental environment — where each hour, each activity, each conversation between a caregiver and child has been thought through with both heart and evidence.

What We Offer

Support shaped around
your child

From one-on-one psychology sessions to a full-day enrichment programme — every offering is designed by a child psychologist, not assembled from a template.
01

Child Psychology Sessions

Individual assessments and therapy addressing emotional challenges, developmental delays, anxiety, and behavioural concerns — with monthly parent consultations.

02

Play Therapy

Evidence-based play therapy techniques that let children express feelings they haven't yet found words for — in a guided, completely safe environment.

03

Emotional Development

Structured programmes that build emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and empathy — the invisible foundations that determine how children navigate the world.

04

Behavioural Guidance

Positive behaviour support for children experiencing tantrums, aggression, or attention difficulties — with hands-on coaching for parents so change continues at home.

05

Early Learning Programme

Age-appropriate curriculum through storytelling, art, music, and sensory exploration — designed to build cognitive readiness without losing the joy of being small.

06

Day Care Programme

A psychologically informed day care environment with qualified caregivers, nutritious meals, and daily progress notes — so working parents never miss a moment.

Our Approach

Why parents choose us — and why children stay

I

A psychologist runs the room

Every programme is designed and supervised by a licensed child psychologist — not just educators. This changes what gets noticed, what gets acted on, and what gets communicated to parents.

II

Small groups, individual attention

A maximum 1:6 caregiver-to-child ratio means your child is never lost in a group. Every child is seen. Every shift in mood or behaviour is noticed and responded to.

III

Daily parent communication

Parents receive a daily summary with observations and photos. Psychology clients receive written monthly progress reports. You are always informed — never guessing.

IV

Safe by design

Fully CCTV monitored, child-proofed premises. All staff carry verified background checks and first aid certification. Strict entry protocols — no exceptions.

A Day in Our Care

Every hour is intentional

Story Time

Building vocabulary, imagination, and listening — every morning.

Creative Arts

Painting, sculpting, collage — expression that builds motor skills and confidence.

Music & Movement

Rhythm and song — building coordination, joy, and self-expression.

We welcome children between 2 and 6 years of age. Our programmes are designed specifically for early childhood, and all activities are age-appropriate and developmentally calibrated for this stage.
Each child begins with an initial assessment session with Shivani. Based on the assessment, a personalised plan is developed — covering emotional development, behavioural support, or play therapy as needed. Sessions are typically once a week, with written parent consultations every month.
Yes, always. Day care parents receive a daily update with a summary of activities and observations. Psychology clients receive a monthly written progress report. You can also reach us any time via our parent portal.
The premises are fully CCTV-monitored, child-proofed, and staffed by trained caregivers with first aid certification. We follow strict entry protocols — no child can be collected by an unregistered adult. All staff carry verified background checks.
Regular day care runs Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Half-day sessions (8 AM–1 PM) and flexible hourly drop-in slots are also available. Extended care until 7:30 PM is available for working parents with advance notice.
Yes. Psychology sessions and play therapy are available independently — you don't need to be enrolled in the day care programme. Many families come only for one-on-one sessions with Shivani.
