Our entire Spring Buds team is pleased and proud
to receive this honour for the second year in a row.
“This recognition validates our collective efforts and
underscores our unwavering commitment to deliver high-
quality early childhood education. I believe our top rank
is the outcome of several factors including a well-rounded
curriculum, innovative teaching, individualised attention
to children, competence of faculty and active manage-
ment involvement. All these factors have combined to cre-
ate a joyful and stimulating learning environment where
every child is mentored to develop foundational learning,
social and emotional skills. Therefore, I am not surprised
that we have been awarded highest scores for teacher
competence, individual attention to students and leader-
ship/management quality. We are planning to expand
and establish new preschools in Thane as well as around
the country” — Sandeep Goenka, Trustee, Spring
Buds International Preschool, Kapurbawdi (620
students and 48 teachers)
