Being ranked Bhopal’s top preschool for the second
consecutive year is a privilege and honour for us in
“DPS, Kidszone. While there is temptation to rest on
our laurels, we intend to sustain our top rank. I believe
it is DPS, Kidszone’s happiness quotient, sustained focus
on differentiated instruction and collaboration, safe and
positive school climate and culture of parent involvement
that has impressed your sample respondents. We are de-
lighted with our high scores under several parameters but
value our top score under individual attention to students
most. To acquaint them with digital literacy and 21st cen-
tury skills, our kindergarteners will soon be introduced to
robotics, coding, STEM-based activities, environmental
awareness and accelerated numeracy skills” — Mukta

Bhopal), Neelbad (236 students and 29 teachers)
