Footprint Montessori’s final service, that is Enrichment Activities, adhere to the philosophy and theory of Montessori through which the centre tries to impart quality education to children based on observations and experience with children from different age groups. Shivamala Narasappa, Founder and Principal of Footprint Montessori speaks, “We provide individual, one-on one, self-paced education. We focus on giving a strong foundation in skills such a writing, math, reading, science, creative arts and music. For children above four years, drama has been introduced too. Thus, we focus on exclusivity and not volumes. So, with limited enrolment, we have been able to achieve high standards of education. Aesthetically designed infrastructure, experienced and certified Montessori trainers and low student-teacher ratio are the USP of Footprint Montessori.”
Started with just five enrolments, Footprint Montessori has grown or ganically and quite steadily over the years. Recalling their remarkable journey, Shivamala says, “Today, we possess the record of educating 500 plus children with more than 10 years of experience. We were required to advertise our brand only for initial two years; later on, we managed to have filled classrooms with mere word of mouth, which is a clear manifestation of our centre's superior education and the first-class personalised care. For future also, Footprint Montessori aims to continue excellence in education. At the same time, we will try to increase the capacity at the pre-primary level without compromising the level of quality and excellence.”
