Our Programs

Our environment is designed with the goal of facilitating the developmental & emotional growth of children between 2-6 years. We aim to nurture the child so that they grow to become independent, with a desire to explore the world and understand it to the best of their ability. The adult to child ratio is the best compared to any school in and around Bengaluru.

Day Care/ After School

Aakruti Afternoon Care is from 1 pm to 6 pm, wherein children from our Montessori and other schools between the age group 3 to 10 years can spend time doing various activities like sketching, craftwork, clay work, dancing and singing (classical). For those requiring additional guidance in school work, help will also be given with regard to that. We have two trained adults with two support staff to cater to the needs of children as young as 2 years.

The Afternoon Care facility is equipped with a refrigerator and a microwave; the food and milk provided by the parents will be given to the child after it is warmed. The goal is to make our children feel like at home away from home.
