Featured Highlights from Our Nature-Based Preschool
Step inside Earthlings, where our days are defined by mud, messy art, and asking 'why' until we find the answer. This is a look at the magic that happens when children are free to be themselves.
This is what pure, unadulterated joy looks like. We believe in learning through play, and our DIY pond life setup is a perfect example. It's a chance for sensory exploration, storytelling, and understanding ecosystems, all while having a wonderful, splashy time.
We are a 'Kootukudumbam', a chosen family, and nothing brings us together like food. This is a glimpse into our Republic Day parent potluck, where we celebrated our country's diversity through a smorgasbord of delicious homemade dishes, sharing stories and laughter.
We believe in bringing India's rich performing arts traditions to our littles. Here, they were mesmerized by a Tholpavakoothu shadow puppet show, a magical experience with flickering lights and ancient stories that sparked their imagination and connected them to cultural roots.
Real-life learning is everywhere, even on a leaf in our garden. Our littles were fascinated to see this real, very hungry caterpillar munching away, bringing a classic storybook to life right before their eyes. This is the essence of our nature-based curriculum.
Art at Earthlings is all about the process, not the product. This vibrant 'Cottonball Smoosh' creation is a perfect example. It’s a wonderfully satisfying way for children to explore colours, cause and effect, and express their energy in a creative, messy, and fun way.
We believe that great teachers are also great learners. Our team regularly participates in professional development, like this 'Six Bricks' training, to bring the most innovative, play-based learning methods to your children. We are always growing, right alongside our littles.
Look at that smile. This is the pride and joy a child feels when they create something with their own hands. This little one is holding a bird and nest she made, a project that involved fine motor skills, learning about nature, and a whole lot of creativity.
About this collection
You will notice our days are not dictated by worksheets, but by the natural curiosity of a child watching a hungry caterpillar or the gleeful mess of a cottonball painting session. We do not shy away from the topics that make toddlers giggle, like potty talk or 'animal poop', because we know that natural curiosity is the best launchpad for science lessons that actually stick.
Our Approach to Early Learning
At Earthlings Early Years in RMV 2nd Stage, we believe that education happens best when a child is fully engaged. Our curriculum is built on inquiry, not repetition. Whether it is our LEGO Robotics workshops or our nature-based sensory play, we focus on the process of learning rather than the finished product. We want children to come home muddy, loud, and excited about what they discovered in the garden.
More Than Just a School
We call our community a Kootukudumbam, or a chosen family. That is why you will find us hosting potlucks on Republic Day, inviting artists for traditional Tholpavakoothu shadow puppetry, and running parenting workshops where we talk honestly about the challenges of raising a tiny human. We are two foodies running a preschool, so community and sharing meals are central to how we bond with our families.
Why Parents Choose Us
- Inquiry-Based Learning: We turn questions into lesson plans. If your child asks 'why', we find a way to explore it.
- Teacher Growth: Our educators are lifelong learners. They regularly participate in professional development like Six Bricks training to bring new, innovative methods into the classroom.
- Holistic Development: From building fine motor skills through process art to developing logic with LEGO kits, we cover the full spectrum of early development.
We are always growing and tweaking our practice, ensuring that the activities we run today are better than the ones from yesterday. If you are looking for a space where your child is nurtured as an individual and part of a bigger family, we would love to show you around.
Earthlings Early Years
We are Earthlings, two foodies who somehow ended up running a preschool in RMV 2nd Stage. We treat our school like a chosen family, where Republic Day potlucks and shadow puppetry are just as important as math. If you want a place where your child learns through curiosity rather than drills, come say hi.
