83 Regent Estate, Kolkata - 700092
Our new venture “Prabir Kanungo Centre for Childrens’ Socialization” was inaugurated in February 2020. We offer individual therapy sessions designed by renowned and highly experienced Therapists at this Centre from 4pm to 8pm for children between the age of 4 and 14 years.
All our therapies and activities are directed towards developing social skills and personality development. “Therapy” may be best described as a purposeful intervention designed to overcome or eliminate the obstacles that keep children with disabilities from learning. In other words, it is about providing children with individualized plans of instruction to help them succeed in life.
Our objective is to hold out a friendly hand to children whose major problems arise out of isolation and loneliness in a fast moving world, where we are racing against time. While we race, our children grow up in a lonely environment with only the social media to keep them company.
Our role is to provide a suitable fun, caring, warm and welcoming environment for children to build friendships, develop skills, be creative and explore through play. We aim to create an atmosphere in which our children feel comfortable and can develop confidence, self-esteem, co-operative skills and independence.
