What is a micro-school?

A micro-school is a close-knit learning community where your child is truly seen and heard. With flexible structures and personalised guidance, they do far more than just follow instructions. They make decisions, follow their interests, and slowly grow into confident, self-driven learners.

At Dreamtime Learning Hubs, our children are taught how winners are built. They learn how they grow, how their minds respond to challenges, and how to stay resilient when things get hard. Aligned with Cambridge methodologies, learning shifts from being system-driven to self-driven - so children develop ownership, confidence, and the ability to rise under pressure rather than fear it.

Our Approach

The Dreamtime Learner Approach

The Dreamtime Learner Approach

Our approach helps children understand themselves, not just the subject in front of them. They begin to notice how their thoughts grow, how habits form, and how feelings can either block or support their learning. With gentle reflection, small goals, and steady feedback, they start to see their own patterns more clearly.

Academic growth happens alongside this inner work. Instead of only following fixed routines and rote-learning, children learn through real experiences and flexible paths that make sense to them.

Over time, they learn to meet challenges without giving up, adjust when something isn’t working, and try again with a clearer sense of what they are doing and why. This is how confidence, ownership, and a love for learning quietly take root.

The Mind Behind Dreamtime

The Mind Behind Dreamtime

Lina Ashar has been reshaping education since 1993, when she moved from Australia to Mumbai and founded Kangaroo Kids and Billabong High.

She helped thousands of families experience what learner-centric schools, research-based curriculum, and emotionally aware classrooms could feel like, where children were encouraged to think, feel, and grow with intention.

Lina is now pouring her experience into a new movement, reimagining education so that today’s children are ready for the world they are actually growing up in.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our unique approach to learning.

Common questions about our unique approach to learning.

How do you assess learning at Dreamtime Learning Hub?

We don’t believe learning can be captured by marks alone. Children are assessed through portfolios, observations, projects, reflections, and real-world application. We look at how they think, create, collaborate, problem-solve, and grow emotionally, not just what they memorise.
This gives parents a clear, holistic picture of their child’s growth- academic, social, emotional, and creative - so progress is visible, meaningful, and aligned with real-life success, not just test performance.

Do you offer online learning?

Yes. Our online programs carry the same philosophy and learning design as our physical hubs. Learning remains personalised, interactive, and deeply engaging, with strong relationships between learners and educators at the centre.Technology is used as a tool to deepen engagement, not replace human connection.
This ensures continuity and flexibility for families while maintaining the same quality, care, and educational outcomes as our in-person hubs.

Which age groups do Dreamtime Learning Hubs serve?

We work with children from early years through the middle years, approximately ages 2 to 13. Each stage of learning is carefully structured to align with children’s developmental needs, cognitive growth, and emotional readiness, ensuring age-appropriate challenge, support, and progression.
Families benefit from a consistent learning philosophy across years, reducing disruptive transitions and supporting steady, confident growth from early childhood onward.

How are parents involved in the learning journey?

Parents are our partners. We believe learning works best when home and school are aligned. Parents are invited into conversations, workshops, reflections, and everyday touchpoints that help them understand and support their child’s growth
When parents and educators work together, children show stronger confidence, faster developmental progress, and greater emotional security.

What are your class sizes like?

Our classes are intentionally small, usually between 10 and 15 learners. This allows educators to truly know each child, their strengths, interests, and learning rhythms, and to respond to them as individuals, not numbers. Small group sizes ensure every child is seen, heard, and supported to thrive. Small class sizes enable high-quality, personalised learning, especially critical in the early years, so no child gets lost, overlooked, or rushed.
