Tejal Mehta holds a Masters degree in Neuroscience, has studied Biotechnology and is a certified Brain Trainer and has Ph.D. in Early Brain Development. She is also loving mother to a Twenty one-year-old son and hence in the position to understand a parent’s psyche and emotions perfectly. Founder Tejal Mehta is of the strong belief that, children learn best:

"When they follow their passion" - success is following your passion

• When they are emotionally regulated
• When they feel safe
• When they are curious
• When they are supported and encouraged
• When they experience appreciation for their success
• When they focus and analyse new information in bite-sized chunks

For all this, she prefers using only one language as a teaching medium - the universal language of love.

One of her philosophy is to mentor her children with "values of life" , than losing time in teaching them manners.
