Where Creativity Becomes the Foundation of Early Learning
India’s first early-years organisation dedicated exclusively to music, drama, creative arts, and imaginative play – purpose-built for children aged 2–6.
At Tiny Tribes, learning begins with curiosity, movement, music, and imagination. We use drama, storytelling, creative arts, and play-based experiences to help young children explore ideas, express emotions, and build confidence – naturally and joyfully.
Our approach supports early learning skills while nurturing creativity, communication, and emotional awareness in the most meaningful years of childhood.

A Message From the Founder
“My journey as an educator began long before I became one by profession.”
I was just nine years old when I received my first blackboard — and from that moment on, I taught everyone I could find: my siblings, friends, neighbours, anyone willing to sit and learn. Life later took me to New York as a CPA and tax accountant, but becoming a mother brought me back to my earliest calling — teaching.
As I watched my child learn through music, stories, books, art, and endless play, I realised something deeply powerful: play is the true work of childhood. Children don’t learn in spite of play — they learn because of it.
Tiny Tribes was born from this realisation and a heartfelt desire to build a community of like-minded parents, teachers, and schools who believe in creative, joyful learning. Today, Tiny Tribes has touched the lives of thousands of families, educators, and schools, and our dream is to reach every city, town, and village in India.
Because when children learn through play, they don’t just grow academically — they grow into confident, expressive, joyful human beings.
