New Delhi, November 05, 2024 – Footprints, a renowned preschool and daycare chain and leading provider of high-quality early education and childcare services celebrates the creative achievement of one of its youngest stars, Dakshayani, a 4-year-old student from the Palam Vihar-Gurgaon center. Dakshayani recently participated in NASA’s Space Place Art Challenge for August 2024, where she created a captivating painting inspired by the ASTHROS team’s upcoming journey to Antarctica.
