We started Mitti & Me because we missed the childhood we had — muddy knees, curious minds, and the magic of being outdoors. We wanted that for every child in Delhi.
Come Visit Us →Mitti & Me started as a weekend farm session for a handful of neighbourhood kids in New Delhi. The founder, herself a parent, noticed something alarming: children were spending entire days on screens, disconnected from the natural world that shaped human development for millennia.
So she did something about it. She cleared a patch of land, dug some garden beds, invited a few families — and something magical happened. The kids played for hours without prompting, without devices, without boredom. They discovered worms and made mud pies and laughed in the rain.
Word spread. Sessions filled up. More families joined. Today, Mitti & Me is a thriving community of hundreds of Delhi families united by one belief: children deserve a childhood that feels like childhood.

Every activity is grounded in the natural world. Soil, plants, animals, sky — nature is our classroom and our curriculum.
We follow the child's curiosity. Our facilitators guide gently, but the discoveries belong entirely to the child.
Mitti & Me isn't a programme — it's a community. Parents are partners, not bystanders, in the play.
Our spaces are proudly screen-free. Children focus, connect, and create without digital distraction.
Every child is welcome. We work to ensure our activities are accessible and joyful for children of all abilities.
We model sustainable living. Composting, rainwater harvesting, zero plastic — our farm walks the talk.
Children learn best when their whole body is involved. We design every activity to engage hands, feet, senses — not just minds.
Not every moment needs a goal. Free play — messy, loud, unpredictable — is where the deepest development happens.
Like the natural world, we change with the seasons. Summer, monsoon, winter — each season brings its own lessons and gifts.
When parents play alongside their children, something beautiful happens. We create spaces for that connection to flourish.
