About Montessori Lab Access for Homeschoolers
Why Our Lab?
At Hastam Montessori, I see kids learn best by doing. My space is built around the idea that real learning happens when little hands get busy. If you're homeschooling and your stash of materials at home feels a bit thin, our Learner's Lab is here for you.
What’s Inside
Your child gets access to a full Montessori sensory activities lab, packed with things they can touch, move, and really get into.
- Sensorial: Pink Tower, Brown Stairs, Colour Tablets, Geometric Cabinet
- Math: Number Rods, Sandpaper Numbers, Coloured Bead Bars
- Language: Sandpaper Letters, Moveable Alphabet
- Practical Life: Pouring, pounding, sorting, puzzles, locks
- Science & Culture: Puzzle maps, flags, animals, garden stuff
How I Work
I don’t teach with "2, 2 za 4" rote style. Instead, I let kids dive in, make choices, and work at their own speed. My guides step back, watch, and only step in when needed. Kids get real independence and confidence.
Not Just Tables & Chairs
There’s a play zone with slide, climbing wall, trampoline. Plus, a terrace garden where kids spot snails and pick beans. Learning happens everywhere, not just inside books.
Flexible for Homeschoolers
No fixed hours, no pressure. Your child comes, explores, and gets to experience a self-paced learning environment for children. I’m here to support your homeschooling journey, not replace it.

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.
