Guiding Principles: Vision, Mission, and Approach
Our Vision
To create a world where every child receives a holistic foundation in their early years, empowering them to become lifelong learners who thrive in all aspects of life, regardless of their circumstances.
Our Mission
To empower early educators and engage parents in delivering holistic learning experiences that nurture the physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth of every child, ensuring a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Our Approach
Empowering educators and engaging parents to nurture whole-child growth, one activity at a time, for lifelong success.
Our 'WHY'
In India's low-income schools, educational efforts focus primarily on foundational literacy and numeracy, leaving a gap in providing holistic stimulation crucial for young learners. During these pivotal developmental years, essential for forming complex neural pathways for advanced learning and emotional regulation, educators often lack the resources and training to nurture comprehensive development.
This development should ideally follow the traditional Indian Panchakosha model, which views the child as a composite of five interrelated sheaths—physical, vital energy, mental, intellectual, and bliss.
Our Belief: At Growth Gurukul Foundation, we firmly believe in the Right to Quality Education for All.
We are committed to bridging this gap by equipping educators with the tools and knowledge necessary to offer a holistic educational experience that fosters the full spectrum of a child’s developmental needs

NEP 2020 and NCF 2023 in Action: The Rationale Behind LEAP
In the context of pre-school education, as outlined by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), the process of learning goes beyond the mere accumulation of facts. It encompasses the holistic development of each child.
This philosophy finds its resonance in the concept of Pancha Kosha from the Taittiriya Upanishad.
The Pancha Kosha represents five dimensions of a child’s growth: Annamaya Kosha, linked with physical maturation; Pranamaya Kosha, fostering bodily awareness; Manomaya Kosha, nurturing emotional and spiritual growth; Vijnanamaya Kosha, stimulating intellectual advancement; and Anandamaya Kosha, facilitating a connection with the transcendent.
The NCF emphasises the need to design specific activities that facilitate the nurturing of these Koshas.
