Every school I visited had one thing in common. My son didn't belong there. Since my first son was born 15 years ago, I searched for a space for my child that was not just safe, but secure. A school where he felt secure enough to ask questions and where he was not told to sit up straight when he wanted to learn how to think outside the box. I went to many schools around Bangalore and while they seemed very polished, they felt pressured. They claimed to be creative, but yet boxed in a curriculum that was outdated. Soย eventually, I stopped searching and started building Eravoo Centre of Learning- a school that my toddler would've appreciated, a place which nurtures natural talent. Come say hi if you're in Bengaluru and Book a discovery session on our site.

Here's why we should go back to our natural instincts & not just on the weekends. A preschool that embraces the benefits of barefoot learning, encouraging children to connect with the earth beneath their feet and experience the grounding effects of being barefoot? It's coming together. At Eravoo Centre of Learning, we believe that true learning starts from the ground up. ๐ฃ Why Barefoot? Walking barefoot isnโt just naturalโitโs fundamental to healthy foot development. Grounding, or the act of connecting directly with the earth, has been part of Indian value systems for centuries, promoting physical and emotional well-being. Studies show that barefoot walking improves foot grip, strengthens foot muscles, and helps avoid conditions like flat feet, which affect 1 in 4 adults. ๐ฑ In fact, walking barefoot enhances balance, promotes natural arch formation, and supports better postureโlaying the foundation for a healthier body and mind. It's imperative to foster a nature-based approach, allowing children to grow strong, grounded, and connected to their rootsโboth physically and spiritually. ๐ถ Letโs nurture strong feet, resilient minds, and rooted values, one barefoot step at a time! #BarefootLearning #Grounding #IndianValues #EarlyEducation #Curiosity

Imagine asking your child, โ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ?โ Most likely, youโll get a simple answer like โ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅโ or โ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒโ. But if you ask, โ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ?โ or โ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ?โ, youโll get a deeper insight into their thoughts and emotions, sparking a meaningful conversation. ๐ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป-๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ? As parents, we all want our children to be curious, confident, and capable of solving problems on their own. But how can we make that happen? ๐ค ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป-๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป. Itโs a way of teaching that focuses less on giving answers and more on sparking questions. Itโs not about memorizing facts, but about helping children think critically, explore their world, and find creative solutions to challenges. ๐ฑ Why is it important for your child? ๐ก๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ โ Instead of telling children what to learn, open-ended learning invites them to explore and discover why something works or what happens when they try something new. For example, โWhat do you think will happen if we mix these two colors?โ ๐จ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ โ Children learn to trust their own ideas, make decisions, and take risks. This boosts their self-esteem and makes them more confident in tackling problems. Ask them, โHow would you solve this problem if you were in charge?โ ๐งฉ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น-๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ-๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ The world isnโt black and white, and neither are the problems our kids will face. Open-ended learning prepares them to think creatively and solve complex issues. โWhat are some ways we could make this work differently?โ ๐ง ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ By teaching kids how to ask questions and seek answers on their own, weโre helping them develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. ๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ โ Children will make mistakes. Thatโs normal! Open-ended learning teaches them that failure is just a stepping stone toward success, encouraging them to keep trying and learning. โWhy do you think that happened? What could we do next?โ ๐ค At Eravoo Centre of Learning, weโve created an environment where kids are encouraged to explore, play, and ask as many โwhat ifโ questions as they can. We believe in giving them the freedom to learn at their own pace, making their education an exciting journey of discovery. ๐ ๐ Curious about how open-ended learning works?

But what about solving the real problems that matter? ๐ค In todayโs fast-paced world, memorization wonโt cut it.

Itโs time to shift our focus. ๐ช๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐. The best schools nurture curiosity, foster emotional intelligence, and provide a safe space for children to express themselves. Schools must prioritize real-world learningโwhere kids are encouraged to explore, question, and grow. What truly matters is an environment where childrenโs uniqueness is valued, where learning is driven by exploration and hands-on experiences. In a world thatโs changing rapidly, our children need more than academic knowledge. They need resilience, creativity, empathy, and the ability to think critically. As you consider your childโs future, I urge you to ask: ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ธ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต? ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น?

๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ช๐ฒ ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ โ๐ช๐ต๐?โ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, but itโs often stifled in traditional learning. The power of asking โWhy?โ is that it opens doors to critical thinking and real-world problem-solving. Every โwhyโ is an opportunity to dive deeper, experiment, and uncover something new. At Eravoo, weโve built an environment where curiosity drives learning. Whether itโs testing why blocks tumble or exploring how sunlight affects plant growth, children arenโt just memorizing facts โ theyโre learning how to think critically, collaborate, and adapt. T๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ปโ๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ โ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, creativity, and the confidence to tackle challenges head-on. By fostering a culture where mistakes are welcomed and exploration is valued, weโre shaping future problem-solvers. For parents and educators, the challenge is to create spaces where curiosity is encouraged and questions are answered with exploration, not just answers. At Eravoo, thatโs our mission โ to nurture young minds who will grow into lifelong learners and thinkers. So, when a child asks, "๐ช๐ต๐?" โ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป, ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐. This is the foundation of true learning. ๐ฑ
