Roots reiterated my belief in the Montessori system. I’m
happy that my son has spent the first 3 years of his schooling in an enjoyable
and stimulating way. Roots has created in him a love for learning, be it
learning numbers, tasks, animals or geography. I did not teach him anything at
home, nor was I tense about why he has not yet learnt something. My trust in the
school only strengthened and I felt utter joy as I saw the various facets of my
son bloom in the last 3 years. I practically watched the concept of ‘the child
developing skills when he/she is ready’.
‘Learning through discovery’ and
‘follow the child’ are
not just pretty words that Roots uses. They have shown how magical the process
of learning can be. For example, at 4 my son did not know how to count 1 to 10.
After being introduced to numbers through those amazing methods, within a month,
he could write or arrange and show a number like one thousand, four hundreds,
seven tens and two units, without error as 1472. His fascination for numbers
(and various other things) has been nurtured at school and when I give him sums
like 8+4+9+6+7+10, I see a bit of mental math happening and pat comes the answer
“44!” While the way he picked up numbers fascinated me, the utter joy he feels
doing such ‘work’ is deeply satisfying for me. He will never regard math as a
‘nightmare’. The methods, the freedom, the exposure and the encouragement Roots
gives its children ensure all round development of the child. They have had
various activities like ‘holi’, ‘magic show’, ‘fancy dress’, ‘hat day’,
‘children’s hand impressions to make the Indian flag’, letting the children have
fun as the learn.
Pruthvi, Krishika and their team have been very
supportive be it school-related or other issues. Their interaction with parents,
observation sessions, the regular newsletters, events like ‘moms day out’ make
the school really unique. Roots has given my child a foundation, which I’m sure
he can excel with in academics and life.

Roots is just' Bang On'. After I saw Roots and met the
faculty, I really felt this is the place for my son to be. I did not waste any
more time looking elsewhere but spent more time in Roots looking at their
fascinating world of learning and fun. All Children are special to their
parents, my son (KESHAV ADYA) being born after 8 years of marriage was even more
so. I want the very best for him and to be sure he is getting it at
Roots
Once you have your child at Roots you can rest assured he
is getting a very very balanced school life experience. As adults we look at
work-life balance at work, as a child, children should also have the perfect
school-life balance. Roots provide that platform. As parents, our questions,
clarifications ,fears and doubts , not just about the school , but about each
child’s ability are set to rest by a capable staff and their feed back and
regular parent teacher meetings
I have grown in these three years with my child I
realise children are miniature adults with their own sense of egos, peer
pressure, abilities, fear of rejection, competition etc. They are not just
there to be commanded around and to be expected to obey. My son surprises me
with his ability to understand the world today. His reasoning and maturity are
beyond what I would expect of him. I am really glad Roots is doing its best to
make a good Citizen and able human being out of him. I don’t know if he will be
the CEO of some company or the Brilliant IT guy, but for sure, I know that the
foundation he has had these three years is setting him up for success as a
person, a happy and responsible person.
If you are reading this site it clearly means you are
looking for a school, in that case I would urge you to look at Roots. Letting
your child join Roots would be the best decision you made in his life,
considering that you may not have a chance to decide his/her life partner
later!
Thanks and Best Regards
