Language & early literacy
Jolly-phonics sequencing, oral storytelling in English and Kannada, and a rhyme of the week. Letters arrive through sound and sand before they ever arrive through a pencil.
We start with the settling-in
Two weeks of shorter days, a parent nearby, and one familiar adult. Nobody is dropped into the deep end.
Our way of working
A small school that knows every child by name — and by mood.
NANHE began in 2015 in a rented ground floor off Borewell Road with nine children and two teachers. We kept the size. Eleven years later we still cap each room at eighteen, because a two-year-old learning to share does not need an audience — she needs an adult who noticed.
01
Play-based, not worksheet-based
Children under six learn through hands, movement and repetition. Our phonics and numeracy live inside sand trays, songs and shop-play — not photocopies.
02
One primary teacher per group
Your child has one adult who owns her day — her cues, her fears, her progress notes. Aides rotate; the primary does not.
03
Outdoors is non-negotiable
Ninety minutes outside every single day, split morning and evening. Bengaluru gives us the weather; we refuse to waste it.
04
Parents see the same day we do
Meals, nap, mood, one honest teacher note and a photo — sent by 4:30 PM. No highlight reel, no pay-to-view gallery.
