We run play-based education programs where kids learn at their own pace through hands-on activities, guided by our Playmakers, with options for toddlers, kindergarten, and primary years, and parents actively involved in the community.

About

We see play as the heart of real learning. Every child needs to feel happy and safe, so that's our starting point. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t rush kids or box them in, you’ll probably like how we do things.

How We Learn Here

We follow the Scandinavian play school model. Kids get slow, unhurried days so they can explore and try things their own way. Our Playmakers (that’s what we call our educators) join in as guides, not bosses. Some moments are totally child-led; others are planned, hands-on activities. It’s a mix that keeps kids curious and relaxed.

Programs That Grow With Your Child

  • Parent-Toddler Play Sessions: For little ones (10 months to 3 years), you and your child get to experience our space together. There’s open play, sensory stuff like playdough, music, and storytime. It happens in Domlur.
  • Kindergarten: Full days of imagination and project-based kindergarten learning. Kids get to build things, dive deep into themes (think: transport, the human body), and use everyday scraps for awesome creations. We’re in Frazer Town and Cambridge Layout.
  • Micro School: For primary kids who want something different. They lead their own projects, try out things like running a flea market, and choose a passion project every year. This one’s in Kumara Park.

Building a Real Community

We don’t stop at the classroom. Parents join in for workshops, events, or even just to share a story. It’s messy, sometimes loud, but always about growing together.

My Story

Papagoya began because we felt schooling needed a shake-up, you know? We see kids for their spark, not their flaws. Our space is all about play - not just fun but real learning. Teachers sing Malayalam lullabies, share Kashmiri rhymes, turn laundry into a game. Kids feel safe here, and honestly, that's when they shine. We want every child to feel like they belong, loud and proud.

My Work

Our Programmes - Parent-Toddler, play-based kindergarten, micro school - plus events for parents and teachers.

Learning Through Play - No rote stuff. Kids paint like Picasso, fix things in garages, dig in gardens. It’s all hands-on.

Thematic Adventures - Themes like 'The Great Travel Story' pop up in songs, stories, even t-shirts. Learning stays alive.

Adventure Days Field Trips - We take kids out to museums, garages, wherever the theme leads. Real-world stuff, not just talk.

Playmaker's Lab Activities - Corners turn into hospitals or labs. Recycled things become treasures. Curiosity rules here.

Emotional Safety in Schools - Quiet nooks for reading, one-on-one chats, and space for feelings. Happy kids learn best.
