Heena Kwatra Maneckji

Founder

Hi! I’m Heena, a mom, a life skills coach for kids, an artist, and an explorer at heart. Life has always been my classroom, whether through the eyes of my child, the the pieces I create with my hands, or the adventures that have taken me across different cultures and experiences. But one lesson has stood out more than anything else: life skills shape who we become.

My corporate journey took me across the world, allowing me to interact with countless people from different backgrounds and cultures. Over time, I witnessed a common thread, so many of the challenges we face as adults, our struggles with self-confidence, communication, decision-making, and relationships, trace back to the lessons we did or didn’t learn in childhood. That realisation sparked a deep conviction in me: life skills are not just valuable, they are essential, shaping the very foundation of who we become.

As a mother, I witnessed firsthand how young minds eagerly absorb the world around them, not just through books, but through their emotions, interactions, and daily experiences. It deepened my conviction that children need more than just academics to thrive. Life skills are just as important as knowledge and children need the right tools to understand themselves, manage their feelings, build meaningful relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

That’s why I started ThoughtCast Life Skills School, a place where kids can learn, explore, and grow into confident, kind, and capable individuals. Through stories, play, creativity, and hands-on experiences, we make life skills a natural, fun, and exciting part of childhood.

Because life doesn’t come with a manual, but when we equip children with the right skills early on, we give them something even better: the confidence to craft their own story.

Our history

It all started in 2018 with a dream, and slowly, that dream began to take shape. What started with just four little learners and a passion for teaching life skills soon grew into something bigger, a warm, nurturing space where children could learn, explore, and grow into confident, kind, and resilient individuals.

As word spread, more families joined in, and today, we are 30 kids strong, journeying through our Mindful Me program, and other workshops discovering the power of mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and essential life skills. Every session is filled with stories, creativity, hands-on experiences, and meaningful conversations, because we believe that life’s biggest lessons should be learned in the most joyful way.

And this is just the beginning! Every child deserves the skills to thrive and embrace their true essence, and we’re here to make that happen.

Our students

At ThoughtCast Life Skills School, our students are at the heart of everything we do, because every child belongs. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, each with unique strengths, personalities, and dreams, but here, they are all seen, heard, and valued. We celebrate individuality, creating a space where children feel safe to express themselves, explore their potential, and grow into their true essence.

We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. At ThoughtCast, we nurture every child’s individuality, providing the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive. When children feel safe, supported, and empowered, they don’t just learn life skills, they discover their true essence and grow with confidence.

Our community

At ThoughtCast Life Skills School, we believe that learning isn’t just for children, it’s a shared journey for families. Our community is built on like-minded parents who come together to support, uplift, and grow alongside one another. Here, parenting isn’t a solo experience; it’s a collective effort where we learn, exchange ideas, and celebrate the milestones, big and small, of our children.

Beyond the classroom, the bonds formed here last a lifetime. The friendships children build go beyond school, creating a strong foundation of trust, empathy, and shared experiences. As they grow together, so do the parents, forming a network of support, encouragement, and connection.

In a world that often feels fast-paced and disconnected, we strive to create a village, a space where families feel heard, valued, and empowered. Because raising confident, kind, and resilient children isn’t just about education, it’s about belonging to a community that nurtures and believes in them.
