We are thankful that we have been awarded our right-
ful position as Pune’s #1 franchised pre-primary. I ded-
“icate this award to our supportive management, quali-
fied and hard-working teachers, staff, parents and cheerful,
eager-to-learn children. It’s because of their collective effort
that Little Millennium has bagged top scores on all the criti-
cal parameters of early childhood education excellence —
teacher competence, parental involvement and safety and
hygiene. Parental involvement is a priority for us and we
encourage continuous communication and feedback from
them. Safety and hygiene is also a very important focus area
for us with strict protocols followed by all staff. The other
initiative that we pride ourselves for is going beyond the
curriculum and sensitising children to environment issues
such as garbage segregation, trees planting, ‘good touch bad
touch’ awareness sessions, among others” — Nargis Ali,
chief learning officer, Little Millennium, Viman Nagar
