"Education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world."
About us
Our aim is to 'Set Children Free'
to learn and thrive
We are a group of passionate people who believe that the focus of education should be on the child and not on their circumstances, background, or their capability to pay. For us, education is a powerful weapon to change people, communities, countries, and even the future of humanity. We believe that learning is a lifelong process, which gives one the freedom to express their ideas, speak against injustice, overcome poverty, and make informed decisions about themselves and the world around them.
Our Initiatives
Montessori on Wheels
With the vision of taking Montessori to the Masses, we introduced
the world’s first ‘Montessori on Wheels’ initiative in May 2022.
Anganwadis
We transformed multiple Anganwadi spaces by introducing
child-friendly, low-budget Montessori materials to ensure
foundational competencies among primary children.
Anganwadi Teacher Training
To ensure effective practice, mothers are trained to become
Anganwadi teachers. Thus, empowering the community and
enhancing the quality of early education in the city.
Wonder on Wheels
To ensure migrant worker’s children gain basic literacy
and access educational recreational activities, a bus has
been remodeled with multiple creative corners.
Our focus
The Freethinking Foundation focuses on the age group of 2.5 - 6 years as it is a critical period
as over 85% of all brain development takes place by age 6. These early years lay the
foundation for lifelong well-being, and overall growth and development.
By reconceptualizing a 100+-year-old education method, the Freethinking Foundation aims to
create stimulating experiential learning environments for all learning levels that recognize
children’s unique interests and nurture their creativity to realize their full potential.
To do this, a three-R Framework has been identified -
- Reimagined Montessori education for today’s contextual needs.
- Researched hands-on experiences for daily life.
- Reflective practice at every stage to ensure continuous improvements to the program.
Philosophy of Education
The Freethinking Foundation uses the Montessori method of education based on sensorial exploration, which was founded by Dr Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator. Montessori is one of the most scientific early childhood education programs.
Research has shown that the Montessori method can break class barriers and it has emphasized that when the philosophy is taught faithfully, there are numerous developmental benefits on individual children and society at large.
