What began in one room now holds 45 children

With over 25 years of personal experience working with children with disabilities, our founder started Nitima Foundation with a simple, heartfelt mission: to support and educate special children who are too often overlooked, and to make that support genuinely affordable.

For five years now, our center has focused on the all-round development of every student β€” through care, education, and skill-building β€” in an environment built to be nurturing and inclusive from the ground up. What began as a small initiative has grown into a family of 45 students, and our team works at it every single day.

We don't stop at the child. We sit with parents one-to-one, so they know exactly how to support their child at home β€” in every situation, not just the easy ones.

β€” With guidance, encouragement, and dedication, every day.

What we offer

Five kinds of support, one child

Empowering abilities, enriching lives β€” every child works with the same small team across our programs, so nothing falls through the cracks.

πŸ“–

Special education

Individualised teaching for children of any age β€” academics alongside daily living skills like folding clothes, kneading dough, and cleaning vegetables.

πŸ—£οΈ

Speech therapy

One-to-one speech and communication sessions to help students express themselves and build confidence in everyday conversation.

🧡

Vocational training

Skill-building through real work β€” students colour diyas sold at Diwali and make flower garlands sold at Dussehra, learning that they too can earn and be independent.

πŸŽ“

NIOS coaching

Structured coaching for the National Institute of Open Schooling β€” Levels A, B, and C, as well as SSC and HSC β€” led by a teacher with 20+ years of experience in NIOS teaching.

🀝

Parent counselling

Regular one-to-one sessions with parents, so they know how to support their child at home β€” not just at the center.

Joining the center

How admission works

We keep the process simple and personal β€” a conversation first, paperwork after. Students of any age are welcome.

Step 1

Reach out

Call or message us with your child's age and a brief note about their needs. We'll set up a time to meet at the center.

Step 2

Meet & assess

An informal meeting with our founder and team to understand your child, followed by a simple assessment to shape their learning plan.

Step 3

Trial sessions

A short trial period so your child, and you, can experience our center before committing β€” no pressure, no obligation.

Step 4

Enrol

Simple paperwork and a fee structure kept as low as possible, so cost is never the reason a child is turned away.

In their words

Families on the same wall

"Our son barely spoke two years ago. Now he tells us about his day. That's everything."

Parent of a student, Yr 3

"The counselling sessions changed how we talk to our daughter at home, not just at the center."

Parent of a student, Yr 35

"They never made us feel like a charity case. Just a family that needed the right support."

Parent of a student, Yr 5
