A take-home library for the preschool years. Every week a child takes home a kit with a storybook, a Thinking Skills Game and a learning activity, uses it with a parent, and brings it back for the next one. Hungry Brain sets the whole library up for a preschool or for a parent who runs one from home: the kits, the app, the parent guidance and the stationery.

It is the idea the library runs on. Instead of every family buying (and outgrowing) its own books and games, a set of well-designed kits rotates between children, week after week. Each child keeps meeting something new, each kit is used again and again, and the cost is shared.

Three things: a storybook, a Thinking Skills Game and a learning activity, packed in a slim waterproof kit bag that is colour-coded by level. The kit also carries a kit badge, and the app holds the step-by-step guidance for that week's kit.

The four preschool years, Playgroup to Senior KG. The material is made level by level, so it grows with the child year after year. Home libraries use the same four levels, called Level 1 to Level 4.

No. Children only touch books, game pieces and activity pages. The app is for adults: it guides the parent and keeps records for the school or library owner.

The Hungry Brain team in Mumbai: original stories, illustrations, game boards and card sets, made level by level for Indian preschoolers. Hungry Brain has worked with families on early learning for over a decade.

They are made for that. Game boards are laser-cut MDF made for many little hands, and every kit is checked when it comes back. If a piece goes missing, the app shows exactly which kit it belongs to, so it is easy to trace and replace. Talk to us about replacement pieces.

Short, unhurried sittings work best at this age, often 10 to 20 minutes at a time, spread over the week. The guidelines and videos in the app show the parent how to use each item.

Yes. This is a new library and it keeps growing. We add titles and games as we go and we shape the library around what schools and families tell us they need.

Your school enrols each child in the app. Each week a teacher or support staff member gives the child a kit and taps to record it. When the kit comes back, they check it and update the app, then hand over the next one. That is all your team does. Hungry Brain takes care of the rest.

Every child receives 30 different weekly kits in each preschool year: Playgroup, Nursery, Junior KG and Senior KG. Each year's material matches the children's age.

Your school pays once for a year's kits and uses them over multiple years. The library fees you collect from parents stay with your school as additional income. We will walk you through the numbers for your enrolment in the demo.

It depends on how many levels you start with and how many children you have. Book a virtual kit and app demo and we will prepare a quote for your school.

Yes. Tell us your class sizes and we will plan the right number of kits so every child gets a kit every week.

No. The library is a take-home addition. Your school keeps its own syllabus and classroom material; the library carries learning into the home, through the parent.

A few minutes per child, per week: hand over, check back, tap. Parents get their guidance inside the app, so your teachers don't have to explain each kit.

All the library material, each child's activity history and the parents' feedback, in one place.

Your staff check each kit when it returns, and the app records it. Your school sets its own library rules, such as a deposit, and the records make them easy to apply.

Your school keeps the kits and circulates them among enrolled children.

Yes. Hungry Brain's School Programs (Maths, Memory and Reading) are a short start-and-end-of-day routine your teachers run alongside your own syllabus, with daily app guidance, one-to-one training and ongoing support.

Any parent who wants meaningful work from home, especially mothers who have paused a career for a young child. You don't need teaching experience. The app and the videos guide your families, and our team helps them understand the games.

₹1,25,000 + GST per level, as an initial payment. You can start with one level. From year 2 there is an annual charge of ₹1,000 per registration.

50 ready-to-use kits with bags for each level, delivered to you; the library app; step-by-step guidelines and videos for your families; team guidance for your customers; and stationery and promotional designs for your library.

₹5,000 a year as the annual library fee. You can also collect a first-time registration fee of ₹500 and a deposit of ₹1,500 (both optional). Registration fees you collect are entirely yours.

In our example, 40 families in one level in year 1 pay ₹2,00,000 in fees, which is ₹75,000 above the ₹1,25,000 setup, plus ₹20,000 in registration fees if you collect them. Break-even is 25 families. From year 2, 40 families in each of four levels comes to about ₹53,333 a month on average. These exclude GST and your running costs and are not a guarantee. Try the calculator on the Home Library page.

About one day a week. You choose your library day and how you run the exchanges.

No shop is needed. The kits come in slim bags; a cupboard or a set of shelves at home is enough to start.

Yes. Start with one level and add the next as your families' children grow.

Your own neighbourhood, society and school groups are the usual start, and we give you designed promotional material. Parents can also register at hungrybrain.in, and a library locator is coming soon.

It shows them exactly how to use each week's kit, with simple guidelines and step-by-step videos. Parents can share feedback on each item and save photos of their child exploring, which build into the child's photo journey.

It keeps every record for you: who is enrolled, which child has which kit, what came back, each child's activity history and the parents' feedback. No registers, no spreadsheets.

Yes. We set your library up, walk your team through the app and the admin panel, and stay a call or a message away.

Android and iPhone. The library lives inside the Hungry Brain app.

Ask your child's preschool about the Hungry Brain School Library, or join a Home Library near you. Parents can register at hungrybrain.in; the library locator is coming soon. You can also message us and we'll tell you what's available near you.

A child explores a new storybook, game and activity every week, far more than most families could buy or store, and the cupboard at home stays clear. A Home Library's annual fee works out to less than ₹14 a day.
