Why She Started The Little Thinkers
Established in 2025, The Little Thinkers began with Ms. Sumita Lamba's vision to make room for more than books and classwork. Her background in psychology and education informs a focus on confidence, everyday independence and physical development.
The Little Thinkers was opened as a warm learning space where children can play, speak, ask, try, make mistakes and discover. The aim is not only to prepare children for big school, but to prepare them for life: with confidence, manners, curiosity and problem-solving habits.
Her Learning Belief
The school uses its own play-based curriculum, drawing inspiration from Montessori hands-on learning and Japanese life-skill routines. Children explore counting with objects, language through stories and independence through small daily responsibilities. Outdoor play, yoga and movement support physical development.

For her, real learning begins when a child says, “I can try.” That is why classrooms at The Little Thinkers focus on hands-on work, independence, emotional safety and joyful repetition.
