(kalpavruksha-the tree which has the power to fulfill any wish.)
Taking inspiration from this, Kalpavruksha – a Steiner Inspired School has been initiated by Priyanka and Mangesh Panhalkar at Vikhroli, Mumbai.
Like a seedling growing slowly but steadily into a mighty tree under loving care and nurturing, every child needs a loving and secure environment to grow into a well balanced, compassionate and responsible adult.
At Kalpavruksha we strive to provide such an environment to every child enabling him to discover his inherent unique capabilities. This would help him to grow into a confident and self assured adult capable of charting his course judiciously through the complexities of life.
In this bustling metropolis, the school is located in the sleepy little suburb of Vikhroli. The school’s village like ambience is intended to help city bred children discover and savour the unhurried and simple joys of village life. Given the demands and rigours of city life, this unfettered and organic setup provides a calm environment and stimulates the creative processes leading to wholesome development.
