We are overwhelmed and thankful that the hard work
and efforts of the entire Swarnim team has been ap-
“preciated. It’s also very gratifying that we have been
awarded top scores under several critical parameters of
early childhood education excellence including compe-
tence of teachers, curriculum and pedagogy, individual
attention to students and parental involvement. Evi-
dently, our investment in rigorous teacher training in
contemporary ECCE practices and to implement the
child-centric curriculum and hands-on activities recom-
mended by NEP 2020 is paying off. Our objective is to
provide holistic well-rounded foundational education to
prepare our children for future learning and life” — Swati
Sarawagi, Resident Director, Swarnim International
Preschool, NSC Bose Road (135 children and seven
teachers)
