Samantha ventures into pre-school business with Ekam

Samantha Akkineni is known to be a multi-tasker. Apart from rocking the film industry, she is also an active philanthropist and a brand ambassador of handloom and khadi. Now, the actress has added another feather to her cap as she ventures into pre-school business with her celebrity designer-friend Shilpa Reddy. The pre-school going by the name, Ekam Early Learning Centre, is all set to open for kids. On February 19, Samantha shared a video in which she and her friend Shilpa are seen talking to different people who are involved in shaping the pre-school building.

She took to Instagram to share a video and captioned it, ” giving our future wings to fly (sic)”

The video suggests that the idea of running a pre-school began in early 2019 and it is about to become a reality. Reportedly, the Ekam Early Learning Centre will open to kids on February 22. Being a Reggio-inspired school, it focuses on the environment being the third teacher with adults and co-students being the first and second teachers. The school promotes both indoor and outdoor activities and also focusses on bringing the children closer to nature. The campus is environmentally safe and uses organic and natural products.
