About us
There are 3 simple guiding principles which govern the Vriksha universe:
Be – Every child is unique and we educators are here to help the child bloom into the unique person he or she is meant to be.
Belong – Children need to build meaningful and long-lasting connections with the ecosystem around them – family, society, country and the world at large and we educators help them make these roots.
Become – Children have unlimited potential and our role as educators is to facilitate the discovery and fulfilment of the potential.
We strongly believe that the careful nurturing of children is a function of a several factors – good infrastructure, age appropriate lesson plans, toys teaching aids spurring curiosity, impregnable safety and security, finely balanced daily rhythms in school and at home and invigorating physical freeplay.
However the most important element is the HUMAN factor – a happy family at home and warm, caring, open-minded teachers in school. So while Vriksha tries to pursue excellence in every aspect of schooling, the quality of teachers is the top-most priority. What we look for is not just training, education and experience, but a calm mind and caring heart.
Our stringent searches for good human resources extend to recruitment of nannies as well as they also connect with the little ones on a daily basis.
Team Vriksha
Team Vriksha is one big happy family. Our team of educators and support staff form the true back bone of Vriksha. We have happy educators and non-teaching staff with backgrounds as varied as a banker to an IT engineer truly representing Vriksha’s motto of ‘Wisdom & Vibrance’
Our support staff exemplify Team Vriksha’s operating mantra – ‘the child comes first’. They go about their work with a warm smile all day and Vriksha kids adore their didis.
