Pune, (Maharashtra), [India], 7th April, 2025: Gruhas backed Dreamtime Learning, a leader in transformational education, expands its micro-schooling footprint in India with the launch of a new micro school hub in Pune after successfully launching and running their Hyderabad micro-school campus. As part of its growth strategy, Dreamtime Learning is bringing Asia’s first community-based micro-school model to Pune, marking a significant milestone in the city’s evolving education landscape.
Located in Kalyani Nagar, Nagar Road, Pune, the new Dreamtime Learning Hub offers a future-ready, experiential learning model that empowers children to grow at their own pace with a focus on real-world experiences and human-only skills.
Micro-schooling is a community-based concept that exclusively focuses on a hyper-personalized curriculum. Many parents, such as kids from affluent families, HNIs or the entertainment industry, are adapting to micro-schooling due to its flexibility, personalized learning, and competitive costs compared to traditional schools. It is also driven by a smaller student-teacher ratio.
Speaking about the expansion, Ms. Lina Ashar, Founder of Dreamtime Learning, said,
“The reopening of the hub in Pune marks a significant step in our mission to transform education through micro-schooling, a model that prioritizes hyper-personalized learning, experiential learning, and real-world experiences. Our community-based micro-school offers children an environment where they can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. With flexible, experiential learning models, we empower learners to grow at their own pace, fostering creativity, adaptability, and critical thinking—the essential skills needed to flourish in a rapidly changing world.”
The company-owned and managed hub in Pune ensures that every aspect of the learning experience—from pedagogy to educator training—is fully aligned with Dreamtime Learning’s philosophy. It offers an exclusive learning environment for learners aged 3 to 16 with only ten learners per grade, ensuring individualized attention that fosters deeper academic and personal growth. The hub emphasizes real-world integration through experiential, project-based learning, connecting classroom concepts with practical, real-life applications to make education more engaging and meaningful. The hub adopts a collaborative approach, and focuses on social-emotional learning.
Ms. Sapna Agarwal, Principal of the Dreamtime Learning Hub, Pune, emphasized the school’s innovative approach, “Backed by the visionary legacy of Ms. Lina Ashar, we are confident that our new micro-school will be transformational for the education system. In recent times, we have observed that Pune has a growing base of nuclear and affluent families, and hence it is an ideal market for this new-age educational model. Our micro-school is designed to move beyond traditional academic boundaries. With a learner-centric, adaptable curriculum, we focus on fostering holistic development—nurturing not only academic excellence but also emotional intelligence, creativity, and adaptability. This model ensures that children develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in life, not just in exams.”
Dreamtime Learning Hub offers exceptional facilities that cater to the diverse learning needs of students. The facilities include the community hub, studio space, drone, robotic space, learning hub, tree house, animal petting corner and more, providing learners with opportunities that promote academic and personal growth. Widening the concept of micro-schooling in India, Dreamtime Learning aims to replicate its model in other academic hubs such as Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi.
