The vision of the programme is to enable, energise and enhance childhood by fostering growth of mind, body and spirit - leading students to become lifelong learners. Our mission is to nurture young minds in a culturally sound environment and provide opportunities that will help them realise their true potential.

Our curriculum focusses on imparting skill-based knowledge, using its unique Seven Petal approach and an eclectic approach.

The Seven Petal approach looks at enhancing the following skills:

• Language Development
• Cognitive Development
• Fine and Motor Development
• Gross Motor Development
• Personal Awareness
• Socio-Emotional Development
• Individual-Potential Development

Our curriculum is based on certain principles that we have borrowed from various schools of thought on early childhood. Based on the best practices of the various methods and approaches, such as Project Method, Multiple Intelligence, Play Way, Montessori Method and Thematic approach, Roots to Wings has evolved an eclectic approach.

The instructional delivery is organised and is responsible for providing skills and concepts, involving problem-solving, decision-making, questioning, evaluating and discovering, to the students.

Our philosophy is to provide students with a culturally appropriate environment and values, love and protection needed to grow in body, mind and spirit. Our stimulating environment and a scientifically based curriculum lays the foundation to help students achieve success in all phases of life.

Roots to Wings Philosophy

Our ancient schools were held in natural surroundings. For us, the tree symbolises the culturally appropriate natural environment, for a child’s school.

A tree grows big if its roots are strong. And for a child, the roots are established in a pre-school, which is a child’s first educational experience.

Once the roots are strong, students will emerge strong, confident and creative. And ready to take wings to fly towards making their dreams a reality.

These were our thoughts while naming our curriculum ‘Roots to Wings’.
