"One Up Library has been transformative for my 5-year-old daughter, Aaranya. Since age 3, she's eagerly embraced daily reading, thanks to the library's engaging approach. The one-on-one read-aloud sessions, word charts, and creative activities have significantly boosted her confidence and self-expression. Memorable experiences like author interactions and the 30-day reading challenge have made reading an essential part of her routine – 'just like brushing teeth.' Dalbir ma'am's guidance has been invaluable. Enrolling Aaranya at One Up was the best decision, and I enthusiastically recommend it to all parents wanting the best for their children."

"Our daughter joined One Up at a young age and developed a keen interest in books. The welcoming atmosphere, guidance, and numerous activities foster a strong sense of bonding and togetherness among children.
Through One Up, she has developed a balanced personality, considering various perspectives. Reading has helped her assimilate new ideas, which are essential for personal growth. Activities like the Reading Championships, Book Club, debates, and presentations instill confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
Interacting with favourite authors through workshops and participating in library council activities, like organising fundraisers, have taught her responsibility and community contribution.
One Up is a fantastic platform to introduce children to the joys of reading, keeping them engaged and helping them grow."

"One Up Library is a home away from home for our son, Kavir. Since joining at the age of 2, the library's enriched learning environment has transformed him into an avid reader. The library's continuous focus, consistent efforts, and creative vision of going beyond the written text have encouraged Kavir to develop deep comprehension and critical thinking skills.
The early age reading programs at One Up have shaped Kavir's oratory skills and built his confidence through speaking opportunities in front of peers. The library has not only supported Kavir's reading journey but has also been a cornerstone for his overall growth at each stage of development.
As parents, we have always found the curated book collection at the One Up bookstore to be an invaluable resource. What truly sets One Up apart is Dalbir ma'am's vision, her deep understanding of each child's personality, and her unwavering commitment to every child's journey. This approach is truly remarkable and unique.
A One Up membership under Dalbir's leadership offers children the opportunity to build their future selves brick by brick in what is simply the best environment in India for young readers."
