Early Childhood Education Visionary | Learning Innovator in child development | Holistic Education Advocate | Preschool Leadership Expert
Hi, I’m Himabindu — an early childhood education professional, visionary edupreneur, and thought leader dedicated to inspiring child-led learning and transforming the future of early education.
With over a decade and a half of experience nurturing young learners, I have created joyful, safe, and inclusive environments where children flourish intellectually, emotionally, socially, and creatively. My journey is rooted in the belief that a child’s earliest years shape the foundation for lifelong success — a foundation that must be built with care, imagination, and purpose.
Through strong partnerships with families and educators, I strive to create supportive learning communities that empower every child to explore confidently, grow independently, and discover the joy of learning.
Every child's journey begins with a school — mine began by building one.
Began my journey in early childhood education with DRS Kids, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion for nurturing young learners.
Launched our journey in early childhood education by establishing a trusted center in Nizampet Village, dedicated to nurturing young minds with quality care and a strong community presence.
Expanded to Botanical Garden, creating a nature-inspired learning environment where children’s curiosity and love for learning flourish amidst lush greenery.
Enhanced our flagship location with the Nizampet Annexe, accommodating growing enrollment and offering enriched programs for holistic development.
Opened in the serene HMT Hills, blending tranquil surroundings with academic excellence and personalized learning to help every child reach their full potential.
Adapted to changing times by launching an online platform, extending professional development and early learning opportunities to educators and families across the region.
Welcomed the newest center in Mayuri Nagar, continuing our commitment to innovative, high-quality early education in Hyderabad’s vibrant communities.
For over fourteen years, I have been dedicated to transforming early childhood education through joyful, safe, and inclusive learning environments. Since beginning my edupreneurial journey in 2011, I have established and led five FirstCry Intellitots Preschools across Hyderabad — Nizampet, Nizampet Annexe, Botanical Garden, HMT Hills, and Mayuri Nagar — collectively nurturing over 550 young learners every year with the support of 45 passionate educators.
My work centres on creating preschools that feel like second homes, where children learn through exploration, play, and meaningful experiences. I design and guide curriculum that blends literacy, numeracy, art, music, movement, and outdoor play with strong social–emotional learning. Safety, hygiene, inclusivity, and child-wellbeing remain at the core of every school I lead.
A major part of my work involves teacher empowerment. I have developed a structured teacher training and upskilling framework that emphasizes child psychology, activity-based learning, storytelling, classroom management, and reflective teaching. Regular workshops and mentoring ensure our educators stay confident, inspired, and aligned with global best practices.
I also prioritize building strong parent partnerships. Through open communication, orientation sessions, and continuous feedback loops, I nurture a community where parents feel engaged, informed, and valued as co-educators in their child’s journey.
My leadership has helped build preschool ecosystems where children grow into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. The child-centric philosophy I uphold guides every decision — always asking, “Is this in the best interest of the child?” This approach has resulted in:
The real impact of my work is seen in the joyful learning environments across our centres, the smiles of children each day, and the deep connection shared among teachers, families, and the community.
My vision is to continue strengthening early childhood education by introducing innovative methodologies, integrating digital tools responsibly, expanding teacher-training initiatives, and mentoring aspiring preschool leaders.
For me, true impact is not measured by the number of centres — but by the number of young lives touched with warmth, learning, and happiness.
Recognition for excellence in early childhood education and innovative teaching methodologies.
The “Progressive Edupreneur” award was received at Education World’s TREE Award 2025–26. The moment was made even more special as the award was presented by Shri Gajendra Yadav Ji, Cabinet Minister, Government of Chhattisgarh. Heartfelt appreciation goes to the dedicated team, parents, and well-wishers whose constant support continues to inspire joyful learning experiences.
I believe children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Schools follow a play-based, experiential learning model rooted in:
Encouraging natural curiosity and allowing children to guide their learning journey.
Building emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills through meaningful interactions.
Nurturing mind, body, and heart through integrated learning experiences.
Creating inclusive environments and strong parent-school partnerships.
Integrating creativity, music, and movement into daily learning experiences.
Creating safe and caring places where every child feels important and cared for and protected
"A preschool should feel like love in action."
