ಮಗುವಿನಿಂದ ಮಾನವ

In India, more and more children are getting enrolled in preschools. The increase in early school enrolment shows that parents are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of early childhood education. Even a remote village has a private preschool and an Anganwadi. But their quality is not on par with other countries. In this episode, Dr S Rekha Reddy discusses India’s present early childhood education issues with Mrs Nandini Prakash, the Indian Institute for Montessori Studies, Director, Bangalore.

I’m Dr. S. Rekha Reddy — Montessorian, educator, and storyteller with over three decades of experience in early childhood education. Founder of Vidyanjali Academy for Learning (est. 1992), I’ve been deeply involved in teaching children and training teachers in the Montessori method. I’ve led multiple diploma batches in collaboration with the Indian Institute for Montessori Studies and conducted several workshops, certificate courses, and seminars for educators and parents. My doctoral research focused on Play in Early Childhood Education, comparing Montessori and non-Montessori approaches. I’ve authored early learning books like Nanna Kannada Pustaka (1 & 2), My First Book, and Meri Pehli Kitab, and translated Dr. Maria Montessori’s What You Should Know About Your Child into Kannada. I also host three Kannada podcasts: Mareyalaagada Mahabharata – Mahabharata stories for all ages Maguvininda Manava – reflections on childhood and humanity Nimma Maguvina Bagge Nimagenu Tilidirabeku – parenting insights in simple Kannada I believe a beautiful childhood creates a beautiful world — and I’m here to journey with those who shape it.
