I am honoured and humbled by the recognition
conferred on Podar Jumbo Kids, Mahavir Nagar as
“Mumbai’s #1 franchised preschool. We are fortunate
to have renowned early childhood educator Dr. Swati
Popat Vats and the entire Podar team to guide us. In Po-
dar preschools, we accord high priority to the continuous
professional development of our teachers who are trained
in latest pedagogies encompassing design thinking, story-
telling, STEAM, inclusive education, etc. We also imple-
ment a carefully designed curriculum which combines
with play-based teaching-learning. I am delighted that
your survey respondents have appreciated this harmoni-
ous blend of competent teachers, individual attention
students, parental involvement, and a robust curriculum
and pedagogy by awarding us top scores under these
parameters.” — Sangeeta Gupta, Director, Podar
Jumbo Kids Plus, Mahavir Nagar (195 students and
21 teachers)
