About A.K. Smartshala
At A.K. Smartshala, we believe that learning should be hands-on and fun for children and parents too. Our motto is “Close the books and Open the minds.”
We offer a variety of interactive modules designed to engage preschoolers (2-6 years) in their natural curiosity and help them develop the skills they need to succeed in life. Our curriculum fosters creativity and critical thinking while providing a safe environment where they can explore the world around them.
Smart Learning Is All About
How to think
not what to think
Do mistakes & learn
not just follow instructions
Speak & learn
not just listen & learn
Ask how, when & what
not just do this & that
Do it yourself & explore
not just write & memorize
Learn together with mentors
not just teaching
“Children Must Be Taught How To Think, Not What To Think”

Providing education for more than 30 years has provided many memorable experiences and learnings. In my role as chairman, it is my responsibility to build a structure that allows those invaluable experiences to be used to establish new goals and roles for the team, as well as an innovative learning system for future generations. Our objective is to instil in these kids a sense of curiosity, awareness, and constructiveness so that they can look forward to the future with smiles and confidence.

We at the A.K. Group of Schools believe that delivering education to preschoolers has various aspects and roles in which we not only educate but also learn from them. Our objective is to pursue values, provide a safe and secure environment, and give them exposure to great learnings.
Anubha Gupta
Founder, A.K. Smartshala — Director-Principal, A.K. Children Play School
While working in early childhood education sector for thirteen years, I've learned a lot about the psychology, challenges, and goals of preschoolers and anxieties and expectations of the parents. We at A.K. strongly believe that learning should happen from the surrounding environment and not only from books. Our goal is to create a curriculum where we are trying to close the books and open the minds of our children with new perspectives and knowledge.
