About us
Our Story
Stellar Minds PH is a play-based learning hub for children ages 0–8 in Metro Manila. We design hands-on, child-led invitations to play that build language, early math, independence, and social-emotional skills.
Our small groups are led by trained educators using child-safe materials and clear safety protocols. We partner with families through trial classes, simple progress notes, and at-home play prompts so learning feels joyful and growth is visible.
Beyond the classroom, we host sensory & STEM days, bookish play, and pop-up playdates with venues and brands. Stellar Minds PH helps children stay curious, confident, and ready for the next stage without losing the wonder of childhood.
