Our reaction to Podar Prep, Pali Hill being ranked
Mumbai’s #1 proprietary preschool for the fourth
“year in a row is of satisfaction, elation and jubilation.
It is validation of our commitment to provide highest
quality early learning and development support to our
children. Our top scores on several of the survey param-
eters including individual attention to students, parental
involvement, safety and hygiene and curriculum and
pedagogy is recognition of the continuous investment we
have made in these areas. Podar Prep provides a carefully
designed developmentally appropriate curriculum —
Kiducation — which is fully aligned with NCF for Foun-
dational Stage 2022. Our new initiative is the Immersive
SPA — Sensory Processing Activities — programme to
develop the eight intelligences of our children. We highly
value the EducationWorld ranking as it recognises the pa-
rameters that make a preschool successful for parents and
children” — Dr. Swati Popat Vats, President, Podar
Education Network, which has 490 proprietary and
franchised preschools countrywide (Podar Prep, Pali Hill:
120 children and 18 teachers)
