About Us

Changing Tree is started to help children who have learning difficulties and struggle to cope up with their academics. At changing tree we do assessments for children and find out their strengths and weakness. Once we find out their area of weakness we use multisensory teaching approach to overcome their difficulties and cope well with their academics. We focus more on children with special needs. We also work with children from mainstream schools who have weakness in the areas like language, reading, spelling, communication, understanding and writing. We focus more on activity based learning and learning through play. Here children are given one to one attention and a conducive environment for learning.We build good rapport with the children and sustain friendly relationship with them. We make sure that children enjoy learning and we help them to learn in their own pace. We also get connected with the parents and join hands to work for the betterment of each child who comes to us.
