in Indian values has blossomed into this joyous pre-
school. The distinguishing feature of SAI Angan is that
it’s a child-centric preschool that blends early childhood
learning with creativity. Our curriculum focuses not just
on foundational learning and social-emotional develop-
ment but also introduces children to leadership and
life skills through age-appropriate activities inspired by
Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This
explains our highest scores for curriculum and pedagogy
and individual attention to children. I’m also delighted
with our highest score for teacher competence, which is
a tribute to our 67 dedicated teachers who use multi-
sensory learning and experiential activities to customise
lessons for our tiny tots. I’m also pleased with our top
score for parental involvement as we actively encourage
I am delighted that we’ve been ranked Bhu- parents to join with us to enable our children to achieve
baneswar’s #1 preschool for the fifth year consecu- development milestones” — Dr. Silpi Sahoo, Chairper-
