  • Who Started It — and Why

    ZiaPlayAlong was started by Anjali, a professionally trained educator who has worked closely with children, teachers, parents, schools, universities, and communities. After years of hands-on experience in curriculum design, teacher training, and classroom practice, she recognised the need for clear guidance, quality resources, and expert support for early years education in India.

    ZiaPlayAlong was born to make play-based, developmentally appropriate learning accessible and practical for everyone involved in a child’s early years.

  • Parent-Friendly, Educator-Led

    ZiaPlayAlong is also a parent-friendly space—helping families choose purposeful toys, learning tools, and guidance that truly support their child’s growth, rather than rote or pressure-based learning.

    Every product and resource is curated or created by an educator, keeping children’s development, emotions, and curiosity at the centre.

  • Our Belief

    We believe the foundational years shape everything that follows.When children are supported through play, relationships, and emotionally safe learning, they grow into confident, capable learners.

    ZiaPlayAlong exists to support that journey—at home, in classrooms, and across India’s early education ecosystem.
