We are over the moon to learn that we’ve been ranked
Kolkata’s #1 proprietary preschool for the second con-
“secutive year. Thanks to EducationWorld for making
the effort every year to acknowledge and motivate early
childhood educators across the country. Although Bubble
Blue has been awarded top scores on several parameters,
I am especially delighted with our #1 rank for competence
of teachers, because our teachers are continuously trained
in latest ECCE pedagogies and soft-skills development. I’m
also delighted by our high score for curriculum and peda-
gogy development because building on the philosophy of
Dr. Maria Montessori we have integrated STEM, gross
motor movement, creativity and nature activities into our
curriculum. Our objective is to provide an enabling envi-
ronment in which children learn to become independent
in mind and body” — Nabanita Bose Mukherjee (left),
