Our Mission

At Eklavya Early Years, we believe that all children have natural inborn gifts and talents, which they must discover on their own. Our role therefore, is to help them in this process of self-discovery by providing a safe, loving environment with exciting and thought-provoking learning challenges. These will help the children develop into capable, self-reliant and independent individuals who can make their own path.
