Waldorf and Reggio Emilia have long inspired educators worldwide with their deep respect for the child’s natural curiosity and development. At Earthwise Academy, Vijaynagar, Indore, we thoughtfully blend these globally respected philosophies into our early childhood practices from nurturing each child’s imagination to creating independence, and a sense of wonder. Our hallmark remains rooted to the Indian cultural context, our approach honours tradition while embracing time-tested global insights for a truly meaningful start to learning.

Understanding the Waldorf and Reggio Emilia Approaches:

The Waldorf methodology emphasizes the role of creativity, imagination, and free play. It avoids rote learning and instead focuses on hands-on activities, storytelling, and cooperative learning.

The Reggio Emilia approach, on the other hand, highlights the importance of children being active participants in their education. It encourages them to interact with their surroundings, ask questions, and express themselves through creative mediums like art, drama, and dance.

How We Bring These Philosophies into the Modern Era?

At Earthwise Academy, we’ve created an updated curriculum that blends these principles, ensuring that they align with the needs of today’s students. Some of our innovative adaptations include:

STEAM Activities: Combining art with science and technology to make learning fun and interactive.

Project-Based Learning at EWA invites young children to explore real-life experiences together—like sorting objects by color or size, identifying what’s safe or unsafe, planting seeds, watering gardens, or talking to community helpers. These hands-on moments encourage curiosity, teamwork, and the early roots of critical thinking.

Nature-Focused Classes: Offering outdoor visits to teach children about environmental sustainability.

Located close to Bombay Hospital in Indore, our academy provides a peaceful and resourceful space for implementing these advanced educational strategies. Parents searching for progressive, holistic preschools in Indore will find the perfect learning environment here. Reach out to us today to schedule a visit and experience the impact of our curriculum!
