Preschool & Daycare
Earthlings Early Years
We run a nature-based preschool and daycare where kids learn by playing, exploring outdoors, and asking questions, with real support for parents and hands-on activities instead of worksheets.

About Preschool & Daycare
Real Play, Real Learning
At Earthlings Early Years, I let kids be kids. Our space runs on curiosity, mud, and a lot of laughter. We’re into nature-based preschool program stuff—think bug hunts, muddy hands, and learning right alongside sunbirds in the garden.
What Happens Here
- Play-based early learning: No worksheets, just stories, digging, and kitchen science.
- Art that’s all about the mess, not the perfect picture. Fork-painting, cottonball smooshes, and googly eyes everywhere.
- Even math is hands-on. We hunt for “long” worms and use Legos instead of pencils.
- Inquiry-based daycare: Your child’s “Why?” and “How?” are our lesson plans.
It’s Not Just a School, It’s a Kootukudumbam (chosen family)
We love food, so expect lots of potlucks and sharing. Parents get real support—workshops on moving to big school, and honest chats about everything from poop to puppet shows.
What Makes Us Different
- Learning is always tied together—today’s worm discovery might spark tomorrow’s art project.
- Teachers are always learning too, so there’s no stale routines.
- After school, we do cool stuff: STEM, robotics, and crazy holiday camps.
Some days your child will come home muddy, loud, and grinning. That’s how I know we’re doing things right.

My Story
We’re Earthlings, two foodies who somehow ended up running a preschool. If you walk in during Republic Day, you’ll see not just flags but Ela Ada and Pazham Pori everywhere, because food is how we celebrate life and diversity. Navratri? Artists come in for shadow puppet magic. For us, it’s less school, more family—sharing stories, laughter, and making friends for keeps. Kids here grow up knowing what connects us all, not just what makes us different.
My Work
Preschool, Daycare & Camps - We run a preschool, daycare, after-school classes, creative holiday camps, and workshops like Robotics & STEM.
Nature-Based Sensory Learning - Kids get muddy, hunt for caterpillars, and make 'animal poo'—learning here is hands-on and child-led.
Not-So-Ordinary Activities - Fork Print Owls, Mark-a-Snake art, shadow puppet workshops, musical tours—boring drills aren’t our thing.
Community Events for Parents - We host potlucks, panel talks, and support parents with real conversations and shared experiences.
Programs for Ages 2-10 - Mini Makers for the little ones, Movable Machines for older kids—activities fit different age groups.
