The mission behind the program is “the ideals of a Guru ‘’ as they should be. To recreate in education; the values, building of character, environmental awareness, vastness of thought and aligned actions leading towards developing young ones who would be physically healthy, intellectually sound and emotionally balanced. The program extends to unify and integrate all aspects of the personality to create a complete human being.

To facilitate the completeness of a teacher, as the Vedas have ordained, has certain aspects in the character; the poise, the dignity, the calm, the emotional balance, the satisfaction of seeing the child progress beyond their own knowledge, the joy of nurturing, to be a giver – selflessly and yet with the consciousness of the responsibility of leading and guiding the future generation.

The teacher having all the above ideals has to be the most advanced in technology too, in sync with the latest techniques and be geared to be innovative even beyond what exists. The teacher has to be prepared to work in the most scientific environment and yet with the appropriate moral values and a missionary zeal for overall excellence.

The teacher of today needs to be equipped with the awareness of what act or activity, pace of speech, every spoken word; presentation, group work and each lesson designed which has been chosen to be a part of the environment, would have a specific impact on the child.

We believe in equipping teachers to a level where they are able to reach out to every child for development of hidden talents and enable overall and optimum development of the personality so that they win over the challenges of the fast growing world.

• To empower teachers for their task of facilitating the child’s complete development.

• To give educators to the world who are conscious of their role and responsibility as a guide for the future generation.

• Teachers to be conscious of their thoughts and actions. They are effective role models to the children.

• They understand that no child is a challenge. It is the adult in the environment who has to find a way to reach out to the intellect of the child.

• Our teachers to represent professional excellence.

Embarking on the journey of Montessori training by my mentor Rachana Kodesia , has profoundly shaped both my personal and professional growth. The training opened avenues for me which would have not been possible professionally .The Montessori philosophy, with its emphasis on independence, respect, and a love for learning, has not only transformed my approach to education but also deepened my understanding of child development.

Through this journey, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of a child-centered approach, and I am continually inspired by the resilience and curiosity it nurtures in every learner. My Montessori training has been an amazing experience as it was by the most passionate Educationalist I have known, equipping me with the skills and passion to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children.

As a mother, Montessori principles have profoundly transformed my approach to parenting. From the moment my baby was born, I embraced the Montessori philosophy of respecting and observing my child. This approach has brought a calm, predictable rhythm to our days, helping my baby feel secure and confident.

Creating a Montessori environment helping me to maintain a routine for my child, I've given her the freedom to explore and learn at her own pace. The emphasis on observation has helped me recognize and support her developmental milestones.

What I am today as a Montessorian is because of your training and supreme guidance. I am really grateful to the almighty🙏for everything."After a decade-plus of Montessori teaching, I can confidently say that it has been my heart's desire. As a passionate, loving, and caring directress, I've found my calling in child development and transformational education. Dr. Maria Montessori's principles have profoundly influenced my approach to education, and I've seen firsthand the impact on my students and myself.

Personally, I've become more present, patient, and purposeful, with a deeper understanding of a child's developmental needs. My own children have noticed the change in me, and I've seen the effects in other areas of my life.

The Montessori approach extends far beyond education; it's a way of life. As the Montessori Activity Lab in-charge at a renowned school in Noida, I've witnessed its success in pre-primary and Grade 1 & 2 students. Montessori's methodology stands out from traditional teaching, and I've seen schools grow in value and admissions because of it. Parents have observed the positive changes in their children and are eager to learn more.

My 15-year journey has shown me the power of Montessori, and I'm grateful to be part of this transformative approach to education and life."

After being trained at La Petite , I moved on to be a founder teacher at Gems Modern Academy , Gurgaon, where my understanding of montessori during designing the curriculum for ages 3 to 6 was very much appreciated.

I am currently volunteering for a NGO based in Mumbai , that caters the needs of the underprivileged studying in rural areas, helping out the teachers by training them to use Montessori based teaching materials. Maam , your teaching skills have taken me to great heights.

Ms. Rachana Kodesia has been a true cornerstone in my career, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and mentorship. At just 19 years old, when I embarked on my journey through the Montessori diploma course, I was fortunate to have Ms. Kodesia by my side.

Her individualized support and unwavering belief in my potential shaped me into the educator I am today. She has the rare ability to inspire and transform aspiring teachers into passionate facilitators, instilling in them the values and principles that make Montessori education so unique.

Her wisdom, patience, and encouragement have been instrumental in my growth, and I continue to draw inspiration from her example. Ms. Kodesia is not only an exceptional mentor but also an incredible human being who genuinely cares about the success of her students.

I am forever indebted to her for being the stepping stone in my career. Bhavna Mathew, Primary School, Service Coordinator and PYP Educator

I highly recommend Rachana Kodesia as a life coach and the Incredible You program.

It was very helpful in assessing my career and personal goals.

The Incredible you platform and sessions are a tool that helps one discover their strengths and personality type through assessments.

The program encourages an organized way to work toward your goals.
