Many of us think that the responsibility of a parent ends with getting a seat in a good school and after that the school will take care of the education of the child. Nothing can be farther from truth. If the school alone decides the quality of education, then all the children in a good school should do well, and no child from an ordinary school should do well. It's not our experience. If you analyse the life of successful people, they did not study in the best education institution.

We were stunned how much children can deliver if handled properly. Can you believe that a child can start learning as early as ninety days old? It all depends on how we tap into their potential and bring out the same to the outside world.
