Our Mission
A play-based, experiential journey partnering with families to build confidence, kindness and a lifelong love of learning in a safe, inclusive space.
A Childhood FilledWith Wonder, Play & Purpose.
Our motto is simple: learning through wonder, play and purpose. Ananya Tots is a play-based, experiential and child-centred preschool, partnering with families to build confidence, kindness and a lifelong love of learning.
It Begins With HowWe See a Child
At Ananya Tots, childhood is a journey of joyful discovery, not a race. Children learn best through active play, inquiry and real-world exploration, and every child arrives with their own ideas, interests and questions.
Connection comes before teaching. Learning happens naturally when children feel safe, seen, heard and loved. Our educators act as facilitators and co-learners, and families are valued as essential partners in growth.
Social-emotional well-being is our foundation, complemented by sustainability, cultural diversity and global citizenship.
“For a small child, there is no division between playing and learning.”

A Community AroundEvery Child.
Parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. At Ananya Tots, the child, parent and teacher form a connected triangle that nurtures the whole child.
When home and school share the same language of love, respect, care and encouragement, children feel secure to explore, make mistakes and become confident learners.
A Message FromOur Principal
Connection comes before teaching. Learning happens naturally only when children feel safe, seen, heard and loved. With 30 years of experience in early years education, I have seen how trust, play and shared experiences build the relationships every child needs. We listen and observe before we guide, design every corner so children can choose and explore, and document learning to understand how each child thinks and where their curiosity will lead next.
“I am heard. I am loved. I am trusted. I am capable. I am believed in.” Every child at Ananya Tots.
