International Preschool In Mumbai

The 3 core pillars of the
Reggio Emilia approach

We are all about questions and our program is carefully constructed for young explorers aged 2 to 6 years. Our approach encourages our children to ask, explore and learn about the world around them. It’s not just a curriculum; it’s an adventure, we promise.

A child’s imagination

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR APPROACH

Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do and then if you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before.

The Program Ladder at @circlesandcycles isn’t just a sequence—it’s a journey of discovery. Each program is rooted in the belief that children learn best through relationships, play, and a thoughtfully designed environment. Facilitators document learning through observation—noticing how children initiate tasks, solve problems, collaborate, recognize patterns, and express themselves both verbally and non-verbally. These insights help us create spaces that nurture pre-literacy, numeracy, emotional expression, and conceptual growth—while always centering the child’s voice, agency, and wonder. Let's connect to know which program is best suited for your child! Dm us or Call on 9820153156 to Schedule a Tour or Book a Trial.

At @circlesandcycles.in, every space is Reggio-inspired—intentionally designed to spark curiosity, wonder, and exploration. Our environments and experiences are carefully crafted to invite discovery and joyful learning. Children are guided by trained facilitators who gently support their development, document their progress, and encourage meaningful engagement with the environment and their peers. Parents become an integral part of our close-knit community, involved in their child’s journey every step of the way. As they grow, children build fine and gross motor skills, critical thinking, and cognitive abilities, while laying the foundations of collaboration, communication, pre-literacy, and early numeracy—all through purposeful, child-led encounters. Our age-appropriate programs include: Parent-Toddler (6 – 14 months) Toddler Accompanied (14 – 20 months, with a parent/caregiver) Just Toddlers (18 – 24 months) Preschool (2 – 4 years) Let’s find the right path for your child’s unique learning journey. 📩 DM us or 📞 Call 9820153156 to connect. #ReggioEmiliaInspired #ReggioAtPlay #PreschoolInBandra #ParentToddlerProgram #PreLiteracySkills #PreNumeracySkills #EarlyChildhoodEducation #LearningThroughPlay #ReggioSpaces #ParentCommunity

Children express themselves in a hundred languages — through words, movement, music, colour, clay, and beyond. At @circlesandcycles.in we honour each of these expressions as powerful forms of communication. Whether they're painting a story, singing their joy, or cooking with curiosity, we pay close attention to how they connect with the world and one another. It is through careful listening — to both their words and their silences — that we begin to truly understand their feelings, thoughts, and needs. Valuing how children speak is the first step in nurturing how they grow. #100languagesofchildren #reggioemilia #reggioemiliaapproach #preschoolinBandra #parenttoddler #parenttoddlerprogram

We’re often asked how pre-literacy and numeracy unfold in our learning space. Our approach is rooted in joy, curiosity, and readiness — never pressure. Using thoughtfully designed tools from Handwriting Without Tears, such as wooden letter pieces, Mat Man, roll-a-dough letters, and chalkboards, we gently introduce children to letter formation and early writing in ways that are playful, hands-on, and meaningful. Writing begins with storytelling, mark-making, and movement; numeracy is explored through rhythm, pattern, and play. When learning is sparked by joy and guided by curiosity, understanding follows — naturally and beautifully. #handwritingwithouttears #preschoolinbandra #preliteracyskills #prenumeracyskills #preschoolprogram #ReggioEmiliaInspired #reggioemilia

As parents, we often find colours scattered across our homes — on walls, furniture, scraps of paper — and wonder if it's just mess or mischief. But what if we told you these vibrant scribbles are your child’s way of speaking to the world? In the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe that children have 100 languages — a hundred ways of expressing, exploring, & communicating their thoughts & ideas. At @circlesandcycles.in these languages are celebrated & woven into every part of the child’s day. We create an environment where children feel empowered to express themselves freely, where their voice is heard through paint, clay, movement, and wonder. So the next time you see colours trailing across your home, pause and smile — your child is speaking in one of their many languages. #ReggioEmiliaInspired #ReggioAtPlay #reggioemilia #100LanguagesOfChildren #preschoolinbandra #preschoolprogram #parenttoddlerprogram #environmentisthethirdteacher

We’re often asked—what is a provocation? Why just a few colours on paper, animal shapes in clay, or food-coloured chia seeds scattered around? At @circlesandcycles, every element is placed with intention. In the Reggio Emilia approach, these aren’t just materials—they're invitations. Invitations to wonder, to explore, to question, and to express. Each corner is thoughtfully designed to honour the child’s natural curiosity and support their evolving journey of discovery and meaning-making.

The bond you build with your toddler is a quiet kind of magic. It lives in the soft moments—the way they reach for your hand, the sparkle in their eyes when you mirror their smile, or the joy of discovering a new sound together. At @circlesandcycles relationships are at the heart of learning. It’s in the slow morning cuddles, shared laughter during a messy paint session, or watching a worm wriggle through the soil hand in hand—these everyday interactions become meaningful rituals that shape trust, security, and love. When we truly listen, observe, and respond with intention, we help children feel seen, heard, and deeply valued. Because it’s in these simple, shared moments that a lifelong bond is nurtured. #reggioemilia #preschoolinbandra #parenttoddler #parenttoddlerprogram #buildingrelationships

"Through touch, sound, sight, smell, and movement, children interact with their environment in meaningful ways. Sensory-rich experiences help children construct knowledge, make connections, and express their thoughts through the hundred languages. Whether it’s feeling the texture of natural materials, mixing colors, or listening to the sound of water, these encounters awaken curiosity, support emotional regulation, and encourage collaboration. The environment, seen as the third teacher, becomes a living invitation to engage the senses — inviting children to wonder, experiment, and understand the world on their own terms.

Here, the environment is the third teacher—open, nurturing, and alive with possibility. Parents and children journey together, discovering the joy of presence and the power of connection. Each texture touched, each sound echoed, becomes a language of expression—a way for our youngest learners to say, “This is me.” These are beginnings—of belonging, of curiosity, of a lifelong love for learning. 💫 #ReggioInspired #TheEnvironmentAsThirdTeacher #parenttoddler #100langaugesofchildren
