Experiential learning centre:
Where learning happens by doing.

Our self-guided curriculum focusses on holistic development in early years.
At Holakids, our team has defined it’s own child-centered approach which is focused on experiential learning. Our goal is to create young minds through creative exploration, curiosity, and play-based education.
At Holakids, we try to create an environment which encourages children to learn at their own pace, fostering independence, problem-solving, and collaboration. At Holakids, children discover themselves and the world around them in ways that ignite joy, creativity, and confidence in every step they take. Our pedagogical philosophy is inspired by reggio emilia which is one of the best international practices in early years education.

Our Programs

At Holakids, we have designed programs for children aged 18 months to 6 years. In our Toddler program (between 18 and 24 months) children can visit the centre with their parents while Play Group and older children attend the school daily individually to indulge in a variety of age-appropriate and practical learning sessions.

Toddlers

As part of our Toddler Program, parents have the option of choosing to join their toddlers to attend experiential sessions for 1.5 hours, five days a week. The goal of our Toddler program is to provide a space where toddlers can play across interactive learning spaces.

Playgroup

Our Play Group program is focussed on providing a stimulating environment where children learn by doing. The program runs for 2 hours, five days a week Children learn through sensory, creative, social, physical, and cognitive engagements.

Nursery

Our Nursery is designed for children aged 3 to 4 years. Children spend about 3 hours at school Monday to Friday engaging in diverse activities to advance their skills in core pre-academic areas including literacy, math, and science, and in social and emotional development areas, including empathy, health, and well-being.

We Are Little Discoverers

THE CHILD

Viewed as strong, rich in potential, and driven by the desire to grow. Their curiosity makes them question the world around them.

(My work is to play, my mess is with clay!
Evoke a thought and I will sow. Give me more, and I will grow.)

Environment is Our Co-Teacher

THE ENVIRONMENT

The environment encourages exploration, sparks questions, and invites the search for answers together.

Materials are thoughtfully added to the environment to promote creativity, problem-solving, and inquiry.

THE TEACHER

The teacher plays a dual role in the classroom – facilitating and learning alongside children. They nurture curiosity, propose hypotheses, and support problem-solving.

Teachers initiate experiences, build upon them, and help children revisit and reflect.

We Value Parent Participation

THE PARENT

Teachers, parents, and children are seen as collaborators in the learning process. As a child’s first educator, parents play a vital role in their development.

An open exchange of ideas between parents and teachers is essential in creating a positive and meaningful learning environment.
