Mystic Montessori is a small preparatory school located in a large bungalow in Yelahanka New Town. It educates students from ages 2.5 to 6 before they enter regular primary school. The school has around 30 students and 6 teachers, including the principal who also teaches. Students sit on the floor in an informal environment and choose activities to work on with guidance from teachers. Teachers speak to students in their native languages if needed. Students are curious and friendly but not reprimanded or coddled for behaviors. Younger students benefit from hands-on indoor activities while older ones learn better outdoors. Cooking activities like cutting vegetables are popular with students.
