Preschool Teacher

**About us**

At Openhouse, we are building a network of premium play based learning centres across Bangalore. Our learning centres offer preschool, childcare and co-curricular activities for ages 1-10 years. We believe that modern parents are seeking professionally run schools that are child-centric, have quality infrastructure and follow global pedagogies.

Our learning centres are different from traditional K-12 schools or preschools. We are building learning hubs (micro-schools) at a neighbourhood level where parents can send children for play school, nursery, kindergarten and a range of co-curricular activities from dance to drama, chess to robotics

Openhouse is trying to bridge the gap for modern thoughtful parents and be their support partner in the first 10 years of parenting. We have been on this mission since 2018 and already have 8 live learning centres across Bangalore and Kolkata where we help 4000+ families and mentor 200+ educators. We are now in the process of building another 6 centres by Jan 2025
