Bricks of Hope - 2k by 25k
"Building an Inclusive tomorrow, One Brick at a Time"
Join us this #JoyofGiving week to help create a brighter future for all children. By donating just Rs.2000, you can become part of a community building an inclusive and eco-friendly campus for children with diverse abilities. If 25000 of us come together, we can lay a strong foundation for a school that nurtures every child's potential.

Kingdom of Childhood Trust, a Registered, Not for Profit Educational Trust based out of Bangalore, governs our school. Inclusivity is at the heart of our school's philosophy. We at the Kingdom of Childhood cultivate a culture of openness and mutual respect for diverse abilities, enriching the educational experience for everyone involved. We believe that diversity is a strength and are committed to nurturing a learning environment where every individual feels valued and respected - empowered to reach their full potential in an environment that mirrors true diversity in society rather than a virtual homogeneous society.



Core of our Education:
A SYSTEM BASED ON CREATING REVERENCE FOR EVERY CHILD. 
  • Holistic education delivered in an environment, that promotes CHILD health and wellbeing
  • Children guided from Intuition to Inquiry (I to I) through Imitation, Imagination, Idealism.
  • Long term association of individuals forms the basis for nurturing children.
Our Methodology:
Our method of education integrates the wisdom and spirituality of our ancient Gurukul system with the systematic, scientific, artistic approach of modern times - a system that would provide holistic education, tailored to meet the unique needs of every child

We seek your help, SUPPORT OUR CAUSE!
As we strive to create an educational beacon of excellence, we humbly seek your support. Whether you are a parent, educator, philanthropist, or believer in education's power to shape humanity's future, we invite you to join us.

We are required to vacate the current(rented) premises by the end of the current academic year. We have already purchased the land for a new campus and are aiming to begin operations in our own campus by mid 2025. We require support to create the infrastructure to meet the needs of the children.

About Us:
Kingdom of Childhood Trust, a Registered, Not for Profit Educational Trust based out of Bangalore, governs our school. Led by a passionate team with a combined experience of more than 50 years in the field of education, the school has the goal of enriching the current landscape of education. Our commitment to provide high quality education from KG to High School, in an Inclusive set up, drives us to plan for a campus suited to meet the needs of all children.

Our Team:
Our Core Team has a combined experience of more than 50 years. A dedicated and committed set of teachers and staff guide and nurture our children. We are also fortunate to have a very supportive parent community, who participate in many key aspects of the school, including the planning of the infrastructure design for our new campus.

Mr. Manivannan Ganapathy, Founder, Trustee & Pedagogical Head, a visionary with a fervent dedication to education, created the school from his personal experience of having home schooled his own 2 children. His exploration of diverse pedagogies eventually led him to adopt this education as his preferred approach for this school.

Ms. Gowri, Pedagogical Mentor, Educator, began her journey at the Kingdom of Childhood 15 years ago as a Kindergarten teacher. Now, she acts as a Pedagogical Mentor, actively involved in guiding both children and teachers in their educational development. She guides parents as well, helping set daily rhythms for their children and dealing with their challenging behaviors through healing stories.

Ms. Sunita, Trustee, Chief Admin, Educator, actively engages in every aspect of the school community. Her deep care and fondness for children motivated her to transition from the corporate sector to nurturing young minds. With 15 years of dedicated service in education in India, she takes charge of the school’s financial matters and oversees its administrative operations. She is also a teacher in the Kalpataru Curative Section.

THANK YOU for being the charming gardeners who will make the souls of our children blossom!
