We are very happy that your sample respondents
have re-voted Vruksha Montessori Chennai’s #1
“proprietary preschool after a gap of two years. I
dedicate this award to our teachers for their innovative
curriculum design and thinking during the long pandemic
closure of schools, without wavering from Montessori
pedagogy. Our focus is on providing a balance between
the ten EW survey parameters of preschool excellence.
Currently, we are working with groups of parents and
individual children to re-build their social interaction,
motor coordination and emotional quotient skills”
— Jayashree Radhakrishnan (centre), founder-
principal, Vruksha Montessori, Alwarpet, Chennai
