Mission:
Our goal is simple, to ensure our kids are understanding and talking in our own mother tongue! And as they progress with our Shala, they can read and write in Marathi, connect with grandparents, and participate in various Marathi cultural programs we have. All in all, it’s all about getting better with our own language!
