Receive the child in reverence,
educate him in love,
and let him go in freedom
– Rudolf Steiner
Yakai means Awakening in Meiteilon.
Yakai Nature School is a sincere effort to help children gently grow into conscious, conscientious, resilient, and centred human beings.
Here children learn in nature, from nature, and as a part of nature. Our school lies in the shade of lush Matai hills. The campus and the neighbourhood is a place immersed in nature. Here we lovingly approach the child and guide them, conscious of their developmental journey. We strive to help the children realise their best selves – physical, mental, and spiritual.
Parents’ testimonials
My search for the right school for my child ends at Yakai. She loves to be the last kid even after all the kids left, and insists everyday to pick her up after sunset. Day after day she is becoming a happy, smiling and very playful child. Thanks for complementing in the holistic grooming of my child. Can’t be more content than this.
Kuhu’s experience at Yakai was truly a blessing. As a child who grew up during Covid, she was very private and took her time to make new friends or try out new games or things. But her few weeks at Yakai helped boost her self confidence and she became more self assured. She’s more comfortable in taking calculated risk and is open to newer ideas.
