About Playful Home Education

At Playful Home Education, we believe that learning should be as natural and joyous as play. Remember the words of O. Fred Donaldson, "Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.” This sentiment forms the core of our philosophy.

​

We understand that learning isn't something to be force-fed to children; instead, it's a process as natural as growth. Every child is innately curious, eager to explore the world, and it is through playful exploration that they learn most effectively. Maria Montessori summed it up perfectly: “The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.”

We come from a family of teachers and are passionate about the education system. We observed that, over time, the conventional education system seemed to strip the fun out of learning, making it feel more like work to children. We firmly believe that learning can be fun, exciting, and stimulating, and we've dedicated ourselves to preserving this joy in learning. 

 

Throughout our own educational journey, we’ve strived to keep learning enjoyable and engaging, and we aim to bring this approach to more children through Playful Home Education. Our goal is to transform the culture of rigid, dogmatic teaching methods and infuse more playfulness, exploration, and flexibility into education. Children have different personalities, aptitudes, likes and dislikes; the same strategies will not work for thirty children uniformly. When we keep the joy of learning alive, teaching becomes less of a struggle and more of a delightful journey. 

Our journey with Playful Home Education began with my own experiences as a mother, using play-based learning strategies with my child. I was fortunate to have grown up in an environment that encouraged playful learning, thanks to my elder sister, a parent-figure who homeschooled her own child until the age of 7. Her influence has shaped the philosophy of Playful Home Education.

We are grateful for the support we have received from parents who have used and appreciated our Hindi worksheets, and our kindergarten printables. We hope that the resources and insights we share on this platform will be helpful to you and your child. Together, let's bring the joy back into learning and help our children grow into enthusiastic, lifelong learners! Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey.
