Exploration in action

At four years old, Nirbhay is a quiet observer, his world shaping through the sights, sounds, and textures of nature. He steps outside with curiosity, ready to explore the ever-changing canvas of his surroundings.

Following the self-learning approach of Know School, Nirbhay engages with nature as his teacher. He watches a garden lizard basking in the sun and observes how it moves swiftly between the plants. His eyes widen with amusement as he stands beneath towering trees, watches aeroplanes fly over the sky and presence of a moon even in day light. On the road, he keenly identifies different types of vehicles, recognising their shapes and sounds with enthusiasm. When he plays with mud, his fingers sink into the damp earth, moulding shapes and patterns, completely engrossed in the textures and possibilities.

Nirbhay enjoys watering trees and plants. He watches the water drip from leaves and make a small puddle. The smell of wet earth makes him happy and he loves to jump in those puddles. 

Through these experiences, Nirbhay nurtures his innate curiosity and develops self-learning using his natural curiosity and fundamental attributes, much like UnBox encourages. Without rigid instructions, he finds his own connections with the environment, learning through observation, touch, and wonder. Nature isn’t just a place to play; it is his own space, offering endless opportunities to grow, question, and discover.
