There Is never any point in the life of a person when he or she can sit back & say there is nothing more to learn.
Education is not just about the subject that is learned & taught in school. Parents & teachers must encourage children to speak, talk, play & ask as many questions as they rani-or it is in wanting to know that will result in actually getting to know.

My journey of 40 years with the Primary school (which includes renowned schools like G.D.Goenka, D.P.S) has been more cherished, filled not only with adorable memories but also with numerous instances of thought provoking situations. Persistent observation on children’s behaviour pattern has made me realize that their world is filled with wonder, excitement and curiosity .There is no limit to nurturing them and moulding them to develop their physical, emotional and cognitive skills. This aspect has been my key focus . Primary school years are most important years of a child’s life. Let us always remember that every child is unique, limitless and ready to shine. It has always been my desire to mould and shape their lives into beautiful vessels, so that they grow up and sow seeds of blessings where ever they are planted.
Mrs. Saroj Pal was born and brought up in a very cosmopolitan society, in the industrial town of Jamshedpur, also known as Tatanagar where she also completed her schooling and college. She married Capt. Sukh Pal, a master mariner and sailed around the world with him before settling down in Dehradun, the city of schools, in 1989. The education of both her children was the principal deciding factor which prompted her to settle in Dehradun. It was here that her journey of teaching started in 1989 in Riverdale School, a preparatory school in Dalanwala. Mrs. Pal has done her Masters and B.Ed before successfully completing the Nursery Teachers Training program from Dehradun. She is an avid painter and has a degree from Rabindra Nath Tagore Institute, a branch of Shanti Niketan for fine arts and crafts. She has held many painting exhibitions in Tatanagar, Germany and various Scandinavian countries. She has devoted more than 30 years of her life to the teaching profession and enjoys her work immensely. After having contributed to student excellence at Riverdale School for 11 years, she went on to become the principal of Sun Valley School, Dalanwala which she headed for 19 years. Mrs. Pal has attended several workshops on child behaviour and development in India and abroad. She believes in the overall development of a child, cultivating a respect for discipline in children and a joint responsibility of both teachers and parents to guide them so that they can be good citizens of this country and face the challenges of life.
With more than 35 years of experience in schools and working for more than 10 years in The Poly kids, she is the pillar for our institution. Childhood development and learning is one that encompasses the whole child collectively: body, mind and spirit. We treat this approach with compassion and care for each individual at The Polykids. The school ensures comprehensive academic support through specially designed classroom materials and curriculum. The focus is on activity based learning which encourages the learners to be creative in expressing their knowledge. Periodic trainings and orientations for teachers are held which help them in assessing and implementing educational technology in classrooms. Our teachers use a well regarded, integrated approach focusing on building strong skills .
The Polykids school is a school which not only focuses on the studies but also on extra-curricular activities. Leading the team of educators and enabling a smooth functioning of events is all accomplished under my guidance and supervision.
We focus on the participation of every child. School events help the child to develop their talents Physical, mental social development is taken into consideration while planning an event.
My belief is to understand each child’s uniqueness and help them to grow and learn at their own pace, in their own special way. Children find success as they develop physically, linguistically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.
