Explore the concept of micro preschool, with Ukti Early Years
A preschool with a blend of Montessori and Play way where children can LEARN, EXPRESS and GROW at their own pace.
Our Story
The Problem
Preschools had become overly structured, rushed, and often focused on outcomes rather than the child. There was little room for curiosity, creativity, or emotional connection.
The Idea
We imagined something different—a space where children could truly feel at ease. A space where children could learn, express, and grow without inhibition. Not just a school, but a home for learning—intimate, nurturing, and deeply child-centric.
The Beginning
With this vision, Ukti Early Years was born in 2021. What started as a shared belief between two educators soon became a thoughtfully designed micro preschool. Every corner of Ukti was built with intention—to create meaningful experiences, foster emotional wellbeing, and nurture a lifelong love for learning.

Nikita Sharma and Adeeba Arif stand at the forefront of transformative early childhood education as the founders of Ukti Early Years. With years of experience in the field, their journey reflects a powerful blend of innovation, care, and a deep passion for nurturing young minds. Both began their paths as preschool educators, where they closely understood the needs of young learners and the gaps within traditional early education systems. United by a shared belief in the potential of early childhood learning, they envisioned a space where children could truly learn, express, and grow without bounds. What started as a professional alignment soon grew into a strong friendship built on trust, shared values, and a common vision. It was this connection of like-minded thinking and deep commitment to child-centric learning that paved the way for Ukti Early Years. Together, Nikita and Adeeba have created a nurturing, learner-focused environment that goes beyond conventional methods. Their approach encourages holistic development, emotional wellbeing, and creative exploration, and they continue to build an education system that is empathetic, accessible, and empowering for every child.
