If you want to be an early childhood educator, you need more than theory - you need to reconnect with your playful side. I built this academy for people who want to turn their passion for working with kids into a real career, using modern preschool teaching methods. ### How We Train Here, it’s 99% play, 1% theory. You won’t be stuck in lectures. You’ll be on the floor, making slime, singing rhymes, and doing sensory activity workshops. You’ll get messy, laugh a lot, and learn to see the world through a child’s eyes. It’s not just fun - it’s how you become a better teacher. ### What You’ll Learn - Play-based teacher training: Design and lead activities that help kids grow. - Sensory exploration: Slime, dough, water play, glow paint - you’ll do it all. - Life skills: Simple stuff like making chapatis or washing veggies to teach independence. - Motor skills: Games for writing grip, balance, and coordination. - Emotional & cognitive growth: Stories, science experiments, and problem-solving. - Confident speaking: Help kids find their voice through storytelling and public speaking. ### Our Community We’re more than a school. We’re a family. We sing ‘Chandamama Raave’ and ‘Hacchevu Kannadada Deepa’ together, celebrate festivals, and make sure everyone feels at home.

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. ## More services from Openhouse - [Parent & Toddler Programs](https://mytribe.in/openhouse.hub/parent-toddler-programs) · ₹600-1,200 per session (parent + toddler) (estimate) - [Preschool and Daycare](https://mytribe.in/openhouse.hub/preschool-and-daycare) · ₹7-18K per child per month (estimate) - [Afterschool Enrichment Classes](https://mytribe.in/openhouse.hub/afterschool-enrichment-classes) · ₹300-900 per session (estimate) - [Themed Events & Workshops](https://mytribe.in/openhouse.hub/themed-events-workshops) · ₹500-1,800 per child/family per event (estimate) ## Experts similar to Openhouse on mytribe - [Montessori Teacher Training by Dots Montessori](https://mytribe.in/dotsmontessori/montessori-teacher-training) · ₹25-45K per 5-month course (estimate) · Dots Montessori Tropical Paradise - [Montessori Teacher Training Diploma by Hastam Montessori](https://mytribe.in/hastammontessori/montessori-teacher-training-diploma) · ₹22-50K per student per diploma course (estimate) · Hastam Montessori - [Montessori Teacher Training by Ayelet Montessori](https://mytribe.in/ayelet.montessori/montessori-teacher-training) · ₹30-65K per participant (full 8-month program) (estimate) · Ayelet Montessori House of Children - [Educator Training & Professional Development by Knowledge Origin](https://mytribe.in/knowledgeorigin/educator-training-professional-development) · ₹800-2,500 per educator per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Montessori Teacher Training & Certification by SchoolScape](https://mytribe.in/schoolscapeedu/montessori-teacher-training-certification) · ₹35-95K per full diploma course (per participant) (estimate) · SchoolScape, Centre for Educators - [Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) by Chaitanya Wellness](https://mytribe.in/chaitanya.wellness/yoga-teacher-training-ytt) · ₹30-60K per 200-hour course (estimate) · Chaitanya Wellness Yoga Academy - [Teacher & Parent Training Programs by MakersLoft](https://mytribe.in/makersloft_kol/teacher-parent-training-programs) · ₹1,000-9,000 per participant per program (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Montessori Preschool Program by Eka Montessori](https://mytribe.in/ekamontessori/montessori-preschool-program) · ₹7-16K per month (estimate) · EKA Montessori House Of Children - [Full-Day Childcare by Ace Montessori](https://mytribe.in/acemontessori/full-day-childcare) · ₹9-17K per child per month (estimate) · ACE MONTESSORI JAYANAGAR - [Play-Based Learning Workshops & Training by Papagoya](https://mytribe.in/papagoyaeducation/play-based-learning-workshops-training) · ₹1,200-7,000 per participant per workshop (estimate) · Papagoya Kindergarten Cambridge Layout ## Book To book Openhouse, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Teacher%20Training%20Academy%20by%20Openhouse.)
