Reggio Emilia
Children as capable, curious learners; the environment as a teacher.
Initiatives
Our work begins with INAE Preschool.
The trust's first institution is INAE Preschool, a foundational learning environment for children aged one to four years in Kotturpuram, Chennai.
INAE Preschool
Kotturpuram, Chennai - Launching July 2026
The preschool curriculum brings together three complementary traditions so that children experience learning as thoughtful, hands-on, and emotionally grounded from the very beginning.
Montessori
Independence, hands-on learning, and carefully prepared environments.
Social-Emotional Learning
Naming feelings, building empathy, and learning alongside others.
Why It Matters
A small school by design.
The preschool is built around the kind of attention young children deserve in their foundational years. The scale is intentional, so care and observation remain central.
- Small by design, not by limitation
- Attention to early developmental years
- Care, observation, and thoughtful structure
Clinical Insight
Co-founded by Dr. Priya Dharshini
Her clinical work as a developmental paediatrician shapes how the school sees and supports each child.
