We are grateful to EducationWorld’s knowledgeable
survey respondents for ranking us Thane’s #1 pre-
“school this year. I credit our promotion to the hard
work of our teachers, a child-centred curriculum and the
unwavering support of our parents’ community. Our top
score for curriculum and pedagogy is a validation of our
carefully designed curriculum that integrates globally best
ECCE pedagogies. Likewise, our second highest scores
under the parameters of competence of teachers and
parental involvement reflect our commitment to provid-
ing well-qualified and trained early years educators and
actively involving parents in the progress and develop-
ment of children. We plan to improve our scores under
these parameters by introducing new teacher training
programmes and a digital app to enhance parent-teacher
communication. I am also thrilled with our highest score
for safety and hygiene as we pay special attention to
providing children a safe and secure learning environ-
ment where they can realise their full potential” — Misba
Khan (centre), Centre Head, The Learning Curve
Preschool, Mira Road, Shanti Park (102 students,
