Our story

When Mommy Became a Teacher

Tickle Treetops Academy began with Ramya’s homeschooling journey—a chapter filled with stories, hands-on discoveries, creative projects, and the everyday joy of learning together.

Watching children grow in confidence inspired a bigger dream: to create a warm, nurturing place where more children could ask questions, explore their interests, and discover what they are capable of.

Today, Ramya brings together teaching, creative workshops, and home education to give young learners a warm place to explore, build confidence, and discover what they can do.
