Preschool Head 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

The problem

We realise that in big urban metros, parents preferences are changing:

1. Families are more nuclear and there are a lot of childcare responsibilities especially in the early years which they need to figure out on their own.
2. Parents are dissatisfied with existing preschools due to an overemphasis on academics with subpar educators and infrastructure.

Looking at the above, 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
