Curiosity first, academics close behind
Arka Kids is a unit of Ideal Play Abacus India. Our classrooms follow a Montessori-informed approach: children choose work, teachers observe and guide, and the day moves between focused activity and free play.
- Small groups
- Teachers know every child by name and pace.
- Daily observation
- Notes on what your child actually did, not a template.
- Trained educators
- Taught by our own Montessori training programme.
What we are working towards
Our vision
Confident, curious children who are cared for with genuine affection and given room to become the best they can be.
Our aim
A thorough grasp of English through talking, listening, reading and writing, built with hands-on Montessori material.
Be curious. Be confident. Be creative. Be kind. Be the sunshine.
