Sweet Sixteen

One woman’s vision to create an environment, where children blossom, has been the driving force behind our schools. Cheers to the start of our sixteenth year of educating and nurturing young lives.

Rohini’s goal was simple — create a Montessori preschool where children are safe, are happy and learn to love our beautiful world, and each other. Dirty hands in the garden, wide eyes as they gather flowers and leaves on their nature walks, and paint stained clothes as they learn about the beauty of art.

From a nervous start in 2001, and multiple stumbling blocks along the way, we never lost sight of her vision. We took the lumps in stride, and celebrated our successes. Today, our team of teachers is almost 50 strong and our ‘kids’ have gone on to excel at some of the top universities in the country.

I sense that as we gear up for the new year, our best years lie ahead. There is nothing better, than basking in the glow of the success of the woman I love. Time to pop the bubbly and celebrate her life’s work.
