About Parent & Toddler Programs
We’re all about real, messy, hands-on learning. I don’t believe in keeping toddlers stuck in a classroom. Here, your child gets to squish, splash, dig, and create - because that’s how they figure out the world. I set up activities that spark curiosity, even if it means things get a bit chaotic. Sometimes kids fail, sometimes they surprise us, but that’s where the magic happens.
What Happens in a Session
- Messy sensory play is our jam. Mud, water, slime, dough - it’s all fair game. Kids learn best when they get their hands dirty.
- Stories aren’t just read, they’re lived. After a story, we might go on a mini adventure, like a bear hunt or a sensory walk.
- Music and movement are big here. We sing everything from ‘Hickelty Pickelty’ to ‘Chandamama Raave’ (that’s a classic Telugu lullaby about the moon).
- Pretend play is huge. Your little one might run a fruit market or ‘cook’ with safe tools, picking up fine motor skills without even noticing.
For Parents Too
This isn’t just for kids. It’s a chance for you to bond, unplug, and meet other parents. I see a lot of working parents making this their special weekly thing. You’ll find your tribe here.
Why We Do This
- Kids get braver and more confident.
- They learn to share, take turns, and make friends.
- All those little skills - counting, problem-solving, coordination - sneak in through play.
How You Can Join
Pick what suits you - regular Parent-Toddler Club sessions for routine, or themed weekend playdates (think Holi, Diwali, or Kannada Rajyotsava with ‘Hacchevu Kannadada Deepa’). Either way, it’s always about fun and connection.

My Story
Hey, we’re Openhouse. We wanted a place where learning feels like home - not just four walls. Here, kids get messy, make chapatis, watch dosas sizzle, and figure out wind turbines with their own hands. We’re all about play, care, culture (yep, we sing ‘Hacchevu Kannadada Deepa’ and dance around for every festival). Parents, you’re in the mix too. For us, it’s about growing up together - not just the kids, but all of us.
My Work
What We Offer - Preschool, daycare, parent-toddler club, afterschool playdates, hands-on extracurriculars like robotics, art, chess, and early childhood teacher training.
Learning is Play - Kids learn by doing, not just listening. Think bread pizza making, ghost experiments, pretend play - all part of our hands-on preschool activities.
Our Space - No boring classrooms here. We’ve got ball pits, art studios, sand pits - spaces to explore and move, not just sit.
Life Skills, Not Just ABCs - We focus on building social skills, confidence, practical life skills - all while having fun, in a playful learning center.
