Vaatsalya Vatika (वात्सल्य वाटिका)

Vatsalya Vatika (Learning Home) is a homeschooling option with a difference.

To those parents who feel there is strength in homeschooling a child but don't have the confidence to choose that option, Vaatsalya  Vatika (Learning Home) presents a wonderful alternative where one homeschools a child along with other children homeschooled by their parents in a neutral place outside home.

Features of Vatsalya Vatika (Learning Home) includes :

1. It's a homeschool outside home
2. Your child gets educated along with other children therefore there is good interaction and exchange among children.
3. Each parent either mother father or both take responsibility of one subject thus collectively distributing the curriculum  requirement between the parents.
4. Topics like history, geography are taken up by visiting actual place of concern making it enjoyable and adventurous. To this effect there are weekly, monthly, and yearly visits to different places.
5. Learning is the focus, not teaching
6. Parents learn along with children and the process continues.
7. Each topic is covered by means of projects.
8. Special activities like yoga music dance instruments are also part of the school time engagements.
9. Through NIOS examinations the children are at par (in fact better than) with any other school going child academically.
10. This model is inspired by a group of parents of Nandanvan Learning Home which has been active since past 8 years and their children are now in grade 6 and doing very well.

Parents who believe in home schooling and who have children entering class 1 from June 2019 are welcome to join Vatsalya Vatika (Learning Home) where together children can be educated.

They are starting a batch of class 1 in June 2019 at Powai near IIT. For enquiries call 9619847729.
