Why Anokhi

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” – Benjamin Franklin

We at Anokhi believe there is nothing more precious than being a part of a child’s journey of growth and discovery. Working with children is our passion and their energy and spontaneity helps to keep the child in us alive.

We are about building and nurturing a bond for life with the child and his world in entirety. Our vision is to create a culture where parents and teachers are on the same side.

At Anokhi, we sow the seeds of curiosity in children so that they are lifelong learners. Opportunities are provided to help the child discover the world on his own, through experience and exposure. This helps him to go out and face life’s challenges with courage and confidence.

Testimonials
Minu and ShahjuParents of Annah, Mariah, John
When we think of Anokhi, it gives us immense pride because our three children Annah, Mariah & John became transformed through the sharp and sensible minds of Anohki. It is one of the most unforgettable memories and the best our children could get. Everything that Anokhi did was purposeful. Above all each educator in Anokhi brought in a sense of excellence. Even now when we talk of Anokhi, our kids’ eyes light up and it a joy to watch – thank you Anokhi touching our kids’ lives in a special way and transforming them to who they are now!

Vinitha & ArunAthira's parents
"Anokhi Montessori"  was the choice Arun & me opted for Athira after visiting a couple of play schools near our vicinity and today we are happy with our decision.
Anokhi has been Athira's second home! It was a warm journey for her through her toddler years.
The curriculum program and teaching methodology at Anokhi is very much appreciated.  Being at Anokhi has made  Athira independent and skilled for a child life today.
All the aunties here are very approachable n caring. My gratitude to Aarti & Gayatri who have played an instrumental role in the development of Athira's character.

SwethaShashwath's mother
Four years ago we enquired a number of schools for my son. Anokhi Montessori started by Gayatri, Aarti and Vidya stood out in the interactions and class observation that we had. 
My son has been with Anokhi for 3 and a half years. Gayatri Aunty as my son calls his Montessori teacher/guide is ever so loving, patient and ignites the spark to think, explore and learn.
I couldn't thank Gayatri enough for these wonderful tender years. My son has grown to be confident, independent and ...

In a few days our 6 yr old will set his foot in to 1st standard and i have to literally pinch myself to get used to that fact. Time flies so fast i tell you…

Talking to the three lovely women there, ...

MathewParent of Rehaan from the Toddler Environment
I did a lot of search/research before sending my son to Anokhi. Did a check on the founders and their experience/expertise/capabilities, but was a bit sceptical considering they were just starting Anokhi. But decided to go with Anokhi after being convinced with their capabilities, after 2 rounds of visits and discussions with the team at Anokhi.My son loved the place from day1 and has never looked back ever since. There were days when he cried to stay back at Anokhi after school time .What I loved about Anokhi is the way they watch each child and give feedback. Never a negative ...

Very dedicated, she puts in great effort to ensure the child is independent , guides the child beautifully  and helps the child learn what is required.
