This wooden tanker was handmade by an eight year old boy over seven hours. He started with a manual drill, built a table with wheels, added a seat, and then transformed it into this creation, all driven by his own curiosity. This is what I believe in: the process is the prize, and true learning flows when a child is deeply immersed in their work.
I wanted to share a moment that truly warmed my heart. One of our alumni, Advaith, returned not for himself, but to walk his little sister into her very first day. He stayed by her side, showing her the materials and making this new space feel like home.
This is what I mean by a 'prepared environment'. The low, open shelves are filled with beautiful, purposeful materials, all within a child's reach. This space is intentionally designed to invite exploration and allow children to choose their own activities, fostering independence and a love for learning.
Practical life activities are the heart of our curriculum. Here, a child is using a small rolling pin and board to work with dough. These are not toys, but real, child-sized tools that help develop coordination, concentration, and a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
Our indoor climbing wall is a favorite spot for children to channel their energy. As this young girl navigates her path up the wall, she is developing strength, balance, and problem solving skills, all while having fun.

About Montessori-Inspired Summer Camp

Why We Do What We Do

At Hastam Montessori, I believe kids learn best when their hands are busy and their minds are free. Hastam means 'hand' in Sanskrit, and that’s always been our guiding light. I don’t see kids as empty vessels to fill up - each one is a unique flower, and my job is to make sure the space helps them bloom, no rush, no pressure.

What Summer Looks Like Here

This isn’t your regular camp with worksheets or rote learning. I set up the environment so kids can follow their own interests. Some days, they’ll spend ages lost in a creative mess or a science experiment, just because they want to. Play isn’t a break from learning - it’s the real work.

How Kids Spend Their Days

  • Creative arts like Warli painting, origami, and even candle and soap making.
  • Trying out real carpentry tools or mixing up dough for baking - nothing plastic, all real.
  • Kids Yoga, wild science experiments, and stories that pull them in.
  • Loads of sensory play activities and nature-based crafts, especially in our terrace garden with snails and birds.

Who Fits In

If your child is between 4 and 9 years, curious, and loves hands-on discovery, they’ll feel right at home.

The Space They Explore

Our 5500 sqft campus has indoor rooms with beautiful materials, a climbing wall for big energy, and a garden for child-led exploration. I’ve set it up so kids feel safe, free, and excited to learn on their own terms.

My Story

We’re Hastam Montessori. 'Hastam' means hand - you’ll spot it on our gate, in Kannada too. That word shapes everything we do. Kids here get messy, curious, sometimes spend hours on one project, just exploring. It’s not about ticking boxes, it’s about letting creativity flow. We make our own learning stuff, like sandpaper letters. Seeing kids help each other, alumni coming back for siblings - that’s when we know, this place is more than school. It’s home, with respect and warmth.

My Work

Montessori Programs for Kids & Adults - We run preschool for 2-6 yrs, Montessori homeschooling kits, Learner’s Lab, summer camps, and Diploma training.

Child-Led, Mixed-Age Classrooms - Kids choose what to work on, learn at their own pace, and mix with different ages. It’s real Montessori.

Hands-On Learning, Not Just Memory - No rote stuff. Kids use Coloured Bead Bars for multiplication, pound spices, open lock boxes - learning by doing.

Campus Full of Discovery - We’ve got a climbing wall, garden for little harvests, and nature-watching. Learning happens everywhere here.

Gentle Beginning for New Kids - First days are soft. Parents stay close, helping kids settle in with trust and comfort. No rush.
