In 1997, Bala Mandir established an international partnership with the Hincks-Dellcrest Centre (now the SickKids Garry Hurvitz Centre for Community Mental Health) in Canada to introduce its Learning Through Play (LTP) programme and materials in India.

​

Two decades later, the programme and tools have become integral to both government and non-government Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) initiatives and parenting interventions across India.
