About Preschool and Daycare
Not Your Typical Preschool
I want kids to feel at home here, not like they’re in some strict school. No uniforms, no stiff rules - just a relaxed, happy place where learning happens naturally. Kids get to be themselves, make a mess, and actually enjoy coming in every day.
How We Learn
Everything is hands-on. We do play-based preschool activities that actually mean something - like making chapatis, running a pretend fruit shop, or building forts. Kids pick up problem-solving, fine motor skills, and learn to work with others just by playing and exploring. No sitting in one spot all day.
What Our Day Looks Like
Our preschool program is all about curiosity. We use themes like ‘My Neighborhood’ or ‘The Food We Eat’ and move between different learning zones - art studios, makerspaces, cozy library corners, and messy sensory zones. It keeps things fresh and fun.
Daycare, But Different
Our daycare isn’t just babysitting. It’s screen-free childcare, led by trained educators, not nannies. Kids get hot meals, a nap room, and loads of hands-on activities. We offer flexible daycare options - full day, half day, or just a few hours if that’s what you need. There’s even a parent lounge if you want to hang around and work.
Settling In, Gently
I know drop-offs can be tough. That’s why we let you stay with your child at first, slowly easing them in so there’s less stress for everyone.
Feels Like Family
We celebrate everything together - Onam, Diwali, Christmas. We sing ‘Chandamama Raave’ and ‘Hacchevu Kannadada Deepa’ with the kids. Our centers in Bangalore and Kolkata are all about that close-knit, community vibe.

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.
