Little Stars, Big Stage: Makoons Annual Day Mesmerizes Thane at Kashinath Ghanekar Auditorium

With heartfelt performances, parent-led acts, and a touching tribute to school staff, Makoons Ovala and Kasarvadavali celebrated childhood with warmth, joy, and community spirit, said the Principal in her closing remarks

The Kashinath Ghanekar Auditorium was filled with joy and celebration as Makoons Preschool, Ovala and Kasarvadavali, hosted its much-anticipated Annual Day event, Xpressions 2025–26. Parents and guests turned out in large numbers to cheer on the young performers, who lit up the stage with charm and confidence.
The evening began with the National Anthem, followed by a welcome note, ceremonial lamp lighting, and a soulful prayer song. This year’s theme Seasons of Life offered a touching portrayal of the innocence, transitions, and emotions that define early childhood.

Children from Playgroup, Nursery, Junior KG, and Senior KG presented delightful themed performances representing Spring, Summer, Monsoon, and Winter. Each performance brought its own spark to the stage, with bright costumes, imaginative choreography, and wholehearted energy.
Audience favourites included special skits such as Bachpan – Relive Your Childhood, a laugh-out-loud Mothers Act, an equally entertaining Fathers Act, and a quirky teenage skit by the Junior KG group. A heartfelt moment came with Meet the Heroes Behind the Scenes, a tribute to the school’s support staff that drew genuine applause from parents and faculty alike.

In her address, the Principal offered an inspiring message:
“Every child blossoms at their own pace, and today each one took a brave step forward. Childhood is not a race, it is a journey meant to be cherished.”
She emphasised the value of parental presence and listening, underscoring how these seemingly small actions build lifelong confidence in children. Expressing gratitude to teachers, support staff, and the energetic parent community, she noted:
“Our team has worked tirelessly for weeks, running back-to-back shows today their dedication is the backbone of Xpressions.”

Awards and recognitions were presented to young achievers, celebrating their efforts and progress. A surprise performance added a joyful twist to the programme, prompting enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience.
The event closed with a warm Vote of Thanks and a flurry of photo sessions, as proud parents captured memories of the evening.

Makoons Preschool continues to set benchmarks in parent–child engagement through dynamic, year-round activities such as the Kids Marathon, Pool Party, Garba Night, school treks, annual fairs, and the crowd-favourite Makoons Cricket Premier League, now in its fourth season. Admissions for the 2025–26 academic year are now open for families looking to be part of this vibrant, nurturing learning environment.
