Our story
Two journeys, one vision
Every great space for children begins with a simple question: what did we wish we’d had, when we were young?
Two journeys, one vision
Suchetha and Vikash arrived at Tender Moments Hebbal through different experiences, but both carried the same belief: childhood needs freedom, trust and room to unfold at its own pace.
Here, freedom is part of everyday life. A child can follow a question, repeat an activity until it feels complete, help care for the classroom, notice a small wonder in nature or simply pause. Each experience is treated as meaningful because this is how confidence, concentration and a sense of self quietly grow.
Why Tender Moments Hebbal exists
Modern childhood can feel crowded by schedules, screens and spaces that leave little room to move or wonder. Tender Moments Hebbal was created as a gentler alternative: a place children feel happy to return to and families can trust.
Our environment is guided by Montessori principles. Children are invited to choose purposeful work, use hands-on materials, practise practical life skills and progress through patient repetition. Adults observe closely, prepare the space and offer guidance when it is useful. The aim is not to hurry a child toward the next milestone. It is to nurture independence, curiosity and a lasting love of learning.
The people behind the space
Meet Suchetha & Vikash
Co-founder · Spaces, wellbeing & care
Suchetha Gowda
Suchetha is a creative entrepreneur with a background in interior design and a deep interest in shaping spaces that feel beautiful, nurturing and full of possibility. Her experience across interior design projects taught her how thoughtful surroundings can encourage comfort, creativity and connection. At Tender Moments Hebbal, she brings that sensitivity to a warm and joyful environment where children can learn, explore and grow. A yoga enthusiast with a spiritual outlook, Suchetha also draws from mindfulness and meditation, along with her involvement in social initiatives centred on mindful living and wellbeing. For her, the school is a space created with love and purpose, grounded in the belief that every child deserves a happy beginning.

What we believe
Safety creates confidence
A child explores more freely when they feel secure, respected and known. Every part of Tender Moments Hebbal begins with that sense of belonging.
Children learn by doing
Hands-on materials, practical tasks and the freedom to repeat help children understand ideas for themselves. The adult guides without taking over the discovery.
Wonder deserves space
Learning can begin with a ladybug, a carefully built tower or a question asked for the fifth time. Open surroundings give curiosity somewhere to travel.
Inner growth matters too
Quiet moments, gratitude, kindness and care for nature are woven gently into the day. Children learn to notice their inner world and to respect the life around them.
The space we’re building
Tender Moments Hebbal brings two journeys together in one promise. Children are given time to become capable, compassionate and fully themselves, with caring adults and a thoughtfully prepared environment beside them.
A safe space. A spacious space. A space to be a kid again.
