(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 Chembur, 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 suburb of Chembur. 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.

Curriculum
PreSchool / Nursery
The Waldorf curriculum emphasizes imaginative play, art and creative activities, music, storytelling, authentic handwork, and honoring the rhythms of the seasons and of life. The preschool years are recognized to be a special time in the development of the child.
Waldorf Kindergarten
A Waldorf kindergarten program provides a foundation that nurtures the body, mind, and soul of the growing child. Through creating a healthy program – based on imaginative play, artistic activity, simple crafts, language, verse, song, puppetry, fairy tales, and storytelling – the school fosters the development of the whole child: physically, emotionally, intellectually, culturally, and spiritually.
Class 1 to Class 6
The heart of the Waldorf philosophy is the belief that education is an artistic process. Whether the subject is arithmetic or history or physics, it must speak to the child’s experience. To educate the whole child, the heart and will must be engaged, as well as the mind.
Language Curriculum
The day again starts with morning circle with songs, rhymes etc. albeit with more age-appropriate challenging elements like mental maths, tongue twisters. This is followed by the 'Main Lesson' where the child is engaged in a lively two hour long period focusing on one subject.
