New born and Parents

(One time per week)

Age group 0-12 months

The newborn stage is a precious and transformative time, both for the baby and the parents. During this period, it is essential to offer a safe, nurturing environment where the child feels secure, loved, and supported. By being present, responsive, and gentle, parents lay the foundation for trust and emotional well-being. Supporting the baby’s integral development means caring not only for physical needs but also creating space for emotional bonding, sensory experiences, and peaceful connection. In doing so, parents help their child grow in harmony, feeling grounded, confident, and deeply connected to the world around them.

Nesters’

(1 time per week/or according to the group needs)

Age group 1-2 years old, accompanied by parents

Parental education plays a vital role in nurturing a healthy attachment process between parent and child. Understanding a child’s emotional and developmental needs helps caregivers respond with empathy, consistency, and presence—key elements in building secure attachment. This strong early bond supports the child’s emotional regulation, confidence, and ability to form trusting relationships later in life, making the parent-child connection a cornerstone of holistic development.

Infants’ community

(Daily mornings)

Toddlers from 1 ½ years to 3 years

This space will provide a nurturing and thoughtfully prepared environment where little ones can grow freely, supported by Integral education and the principles of free progress. Inspired by pedagogies such as Waldorf and Montessori, this setting honours the natural rhythms, curiosity, and individuality of each child. Through meaningful activities like sensory play, movement, nature exploration, and practical life tasks, children develop independence, emotional security, and a deep connection to themselves and their surroundings, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and well-being.

Free flow mornings activities

Open to all age group children (4+)

Free flow morning activities for children offer a unique opportunity to learn outside the structure schooling. In this open, child-led environment, kids can explore, create, and discover at their own pace through art, nature play, storytelling, science experiments, and hands-on projects. This approach encourages free progress and integral education by supporting each child’s natural curiosity, emotional growth, and individual learning journey, nurturing both their independence and love of learning.
