I am ecstatic that we are ranked India’s #1
preschool for best technology integration. Ebenezer
“International is an Apple school and we believe in
using technology to create joyful learning experiences
for our children. We are focused on engaging children
through play-based learning activities enhanced by digital
resources that are appropriate for young learners. For
instance, our teachers use Seesaw and Toddle platforms
to draw up lesson plans. We are very careful about
using age-appropriate technology to develop children’s
creativity, communication, and collaboration skills”
— Anuradha Krishnan, head of school, Ebenezer
International, Bangalore

We thank the EW grand jury of eminent early
childhood educators for acknowledging the efforts of
“our teachers and support staff to provide a safe and
healthy learning environment for our children. Health
and safety is a top priority for us with our teachers paying
special attention to educating children about hygiene
practices and self-grooming. From the school gate to
classrooms and play areas, we have ensured child-safe
environments. We use special child-safe paint and all toys
are non-toxic with teachers and support staff well-trained
in Covid safety protocols. Moreover, teachers regularly
interact with parents and spread awareness about
providing children healthy, nutritious food” – Vimal
