In Focus: RootsForKids

RootsForKids is an organization engaged in delivering high quality, educational and enriching children’s programs in the Bay area.

In the way that the roots of a tree anchor it firmly with the soil and provide nourishment, RootsForKids works hard to develop the values and skills that will serve our children well in their role as future global citizens. We believe strongly that every child should be able to acknowledge their ancestral roots and be able to embrace the dynamic modern-world at the same time. In line with our philosophy, our logo harmoniously blends the colors of the flags of the two nations, India and USA.

Our main aim is to provide a safe, fun and nurturing environment where children can engage in a variety of academic, enrichment and cultural activities, all under one roof. We also focus on creating a lasting cultural foundation by providing language immersion, Discover India series etc.

Careful thought has gone into developing the different facets of our program. Our unique Discover india Series & Hindi language curriculum has been carefully designed to resonate with children of all ages. We have worked closely with the founder member of “Vishva Hindi Jyoti Association” and the “Bharat Vikas Parishad”. These are both non political social organizations committed to promoting Indian heritage and culture.

Our advisors include experienced teachers, academicians and active members of the PTA who have helped us design the academic and enrichment curriculum to be kid focused and align it with respect to what is being currently taught in California schools and the need of the future.

We employ different techniques to keep kids engaged by working in small focus groups, involving all participants and keeping activities new and exciting. We also strive to maintain a non competitive and enthusiastic learning environment. We welcome parents as our partners and encourage them to communicate openly with us regarding their child’s learning needs.

Our program promotes a strong academic foundation, develops personality, explores interests and builds confidence. We expect all of our students to exhibit the values and skills that we work hard to foster in them.

Basic values like respect for elders, understanding and tolerance for other languages and cultures, good behavior and team work are some of the main personality traits. We strive to develop our students as high performing individuals and contributing members of the community.
